Small Time Ganja Purchase

We will be hitting Negril soon, and having never tried ganja in Jamaica, and not having smoked here since the 70's, I need some advice. We would like to try it, but I wouldn't know good stuff from oregano anymore.
We would like to buy a couple spliffs from someone. so my question is should we ask our private driver to hook us up with someone, or maybe wait until we check into our hotel, and ask them management to recommend someone. Forgive my ignorance, I just know there certainly are going to be good, and bad salesmen like anything.
We are spending a few days on the cliff's, and then some time on the beach as well.
Thanks!

You can trust your driver if he/she is a sponsor here.

Of course I'd suggest Linston

Cap

No need to look for it. You will be approached almost constantly, from as early as leaving the airport terminal, and almost everywhere you go. You will be approached so often it will become annoying. It's hard to tell you what to look for since secent is a big part of it. It's a plant, so the fresher and usually the brighter it is the better. If the buds are sticky to the touch, that's a very good sign. Don't pay more than $10 for a few spliffs or a nice size bud
Linston, mentioned above by the Captain, drove us last reach, and started us out with a few nice buds!

I strongly advise not to buy pre-rolled.....Knew a guy that had someone build him a spliff and it was laced with something white.......

Just a question. Was it someone you knew and trusted?

Just have Linston pick you up. Problem solved, and you get a good driver as well. If you only want a little, $10 will go a long way.

Bear with me, but the cost vs profit ratio makes lacing a ganja spliff with anything "white" as a bad business move. As Capt D mentioned, the drivers in our Transport section are vetted. No one in our Transport section would risk that nonsense. An inquiry, trial and jail time is generally not good in the transportation business.

But it is common sense to never buy a pre-rolled spliff anywhere by some total stranger. Sometimes ignorance is not bliss.

Every driver in our Transport section has already been vetted and would never risk their license for less than the price of a return airport trip.

Common sense dictates not everyone is your friend, but we know all the drivers here personally and you can rest assured that they will steer you in the right direction.

Almost left the same comment as your first paragraph.

Well said Rob.

My point was don't buy from someone that is a total stranger especially pre-rolled.

Cheers

You will be bombarded from when you leave the terminal, best advice if you don't know anyone, get from hotel employee, you will be there for a bit & would probably be the safest . Buy a bit & try & let him know if you want more.
