| − | Jamaica is known for its [[reggae]] and dub music, which has gained a wide audience due to artists such as [[Dizzee Rascal]] and [[Bob Marley]]. Due to the influence of Rastafarianism, [[marijuana]] has been cultivated throughout the island. Indians first brought seeds of the plant from Asia and its use spread rapidly among plantation workers. Though it was outlawed, 35% of Jamaicans use the plant at least occasionally to this day. During the 1980s heyday, the annual wholesale value of Jamaica's marijuana crop exceeded $1.5 billion, and the trade had tacit approval at the government level. | + | Jamaica is known for its [[reggae]] and dub music, which has gained a wide audience due to artists such as [[Dizzee Rascal]] and [[Bob Marley]].
