Seiveright recently expressed “suspicion” about Dr De La Haye’s interpretation of a National Council for Drug Abuse (NCDA) report. De La Haye stated that there has been a 50 per cent increase in the number of children and adolescents using ganja in Jamaica.
However, NCDA Deputy Chairman Professor Wendel Abel dismissed as wrong De La Haye’s interpretation of the report, noting that ganja use has in fact been stable for the most part and that there is no data in hand to suggest a 50 per cent increase in ganja use since Jamaica decriminalised ganja for personal use. He noted further that “absolutely no research or study” has been done since decriminalisation on adolescent use of ganja in Jamaica.
