Cannabis was introduced to Jamaica in the 1850s–1860s by import from licensed businesses often run by Jewish families in the Bengal region of India (also now Bangladesh/West Bengal) for consumption by indentured servants from India during British rule of both nations; many of the terms used in cannabis culture in Jamaica are based on Indian terms, including the term ganja.
