Julian Marley, Bob Marley's son, set to release single calling for the legalisation of marijuana

Julian Marley, son of legendary reggae artist Bob Marley, is set to release a song calling for the legalisation of marijuana, 40 years after his father's former bandmate released a song with the same message.

The song, entitled Lemme Go, is set to be released later this month, and calls for the legalisation of marijuana - a policy the Jamaican government recently moved towards, after they decriminalised the possession of small amounts of marijuana on 6 February this year.

In a fortunate coincidence, the day of decriminalisation fell on Bob Marley's birthday - he would have been 70 years old on the day had he survived.

Marley says his single is in touch with the recent developments in Jamaica.

Wow a lot of love. Wanna say thanks to all the fans sending Earthday shout outs thanks for the thoughtfulness. May JAH Bless us all :))

— Julian Marley
