Bit of any oxymoron.

Can honestly say, never got any bad ganja in Jamaica,,in Mo-Bay or Negril,,Very interested in the oil's that they might have. Got alot of vapes and will be searching for some good oil,,any help will be appreciated.
My experience with oils in JA have been that they are not very good. Nasty stuff really.
I started a cannabis data company in the states, cannabis benchmarks (see cannabisbenchmarks.com) - we publish a weekly report on the wholesale price of cannabis in legal markets. So I follow the market very closely. Even in the states, a lot of the strain names are not actually validated - if Blue Dream is popular, suddenly everyone says they are growing Blue Dream. Indoor typically sells at a premium to greenhouse, although that is changing because people like the idea of "sungrown", and outdoor is quite a bit cheaper. While the THC content of cannabis is often higher (22% t0 27%), I still think the the old landrace strains like Panama Red, Columbian Gold, LambsBread (THC around 18%) had a better high -- more cannininoids and terpenes. They were primarily sativas, which as Capt noted took longer to mature. Unfortunately, lower quality indica for export took over the general market in Jamaica and we got a lot of that cheap Jamaican weed in the States. As the legal international markets develop, and we begin to see legal import/export, eventually more higher quality production will becoming from tropical countries like Jamaica. Already the largest Canadian producer, Canopy Growth, is partnering with one of the Jamaican licensee to bring more advanced genetics and growing techniques. In the last few years a number of Jamaicans have become more sophisticated growers with better strains - so the quality will continue to improve. I found one very good producer who has a small food shop roadside (near Alfreds) but I don't want to name him and bring on any heat. He also makes some mighty fine hash!
How about Durbin Poison?
Cap
Yep, legendary.
When I was younger, I remember, chocolate thaistick and Hawaiian. I wish I could find stuff like that again. These days the best I can find here in NY is Hydro, and that stuff kicks my ass
Ah yea, back in the mid 70s,Columbian Gold.
Yes, Colombia was/is known for high quality landrace sativa. Punta Roja was/is one, and I can't recall the other popular strain (Colombian Gold?) from back in the day. It isn't really exported now, so much tougher to find. Especially since FARC and other revolutionary and militia groups control the countryside.
edit: just read Treasure BeachBum's comment above about Colombian Gold. I need to slow down and read before posting.
They're not exporting weed from Columbia anymore, because Coke is so much more profitable.
What I mean is that were one so inclined as to go seek it out, it aint so easy today.
I still prefer weed. Love smoking Sweet Tooth. Awesome thing.
New guy hear looking forward to first trip next winter, wondering about the ability to use on hotel/beaches grounds (staying at Point Village). Are edibles the solution or can I smoke or vape, outside only of course.
Ganja is decriminalized in JA. Under 2 ounces is a minor infraction, carrying a small fine. You will see and smell ganja everywhere. Be considerate of those around you, and you can enjoy pretty much anywhere you can smoke cigarettes. Be respectful if there's a family around too.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Is this the same strain as what we use to call back in the 90's purple haze,,Oh yes and did my fair share of Columbia gold,
December is prime!
The average commercial grown for public consumption is as high times put it at 15-17%, but there are some growers who manage to produce some world quality weed. Have been doing so for many years. Some of you who are reading this know what I am saying and who I am talking about! Silence is golden! But yes there are at anytime some great buds in JA MON! You just have to know!
Does Dab Bar aka I-N-I Rastarant actually sell dabs, or do they just have a rig you can use if you brought it from home?
What's the best way to get better than average flowers?
From what I'm gathering, your choices are trying to find something decent from the beach vendors, try to go to Orange Hill and buy, or buy edibles from a stand. I'm starting my trip in the Cliffs so wondering where to procure.
Hey everyone. I am going to be at Samsara resort for a couple nights and then off to the Royalton for our last 5 nights. Is the I-N-I or the Wake n Bake Cafe good places to score some ganja for the trip? Or is it more of a edible only type of thing? I was in Jamaica in October last year and was able to find some quickly at the resort we stayed at (not in Negril) but I thought maybe these places would have something better quality?
Thanks!
Just got some popcorn from Can Jam (Wake and Bake). It's amazing. She has oils and all sorts of goodies. She technically opens at 1pm, but if the bamboo windows next to the hut are open she is around. Her cell number is listed on the sign out front.
