Smoking herb on vacation

There's a thread running elsewhere about how long THC is detectable in your pee/blood/hair. Of course, there are dozens of "experts" commenting on the various testing techniques, half-life concentrations, and legal remedies.

My advice (which I've copied here) to anyone with a job is this: If you have a job that you can lose over pot, then the choice is obvious - your job, or not. You are going to Jamaica for vacation, you are not going there to smoke pot. If you are a regular smoker, then you are already taking the risk of losing your job to a pee test, hair test, whatever. If you are NOT a regular smoker, then why bother? Use some common sense here. Ganja is not a tourist attraction.

Speak for yourself.

Tell that to all the tourists in Colorado or Amsterdam

That's nice, whatever that was... Thanks, I think.

I administer a Saliva test to my employees and THC will not show up on that test after 3 days of abstinence. I personally don't care if someone smokes so when a potential individual that I may want to hire applies, I just tell them the facts and ask when they would like to take the test. I haven't had a failure yet.

Packrat... I admire your handling of the pre employment drug test. If someone cannot lay off the weed for 3 days then they have issues.

What was the question...?

I guess we'll have to take a tour of Appleton instead and drink copious amounts of rum now that we learned ganja is not a tourist attraction.

I love it when others decide for me where to go on vacation and what to do when I get there! I don't think anyone here needs a lecture as to what others consider appropriate vacation-time activities. I think most people realize that if they are drug tested at work, they are taking a risk if they choose to indulge. I don't believe that to be newsworthy, myself, and should be considered common sense.

One could surmise from this that not only is Jamaica a destination favored by ganja enthusiasts, but that entities on the island are actively marketing it as such. To pretend that ganja and Jamaica aren't closely associated in the hearts and minds of many travelers is sort of silly, when much evidence points to the contrary.

Great advice. I also have some advice... For the newbie heading to Jamaica...

When you arrive there is a great chance the first person you connect with has a garbage bag full of ganja on them, you will know this by the stench of fresh outdoor flowers. My advice is to NOT purchase any of it. Purchase ALL of it instead. Smoke on the way to negril, then roll many large bob marleys for the rest of your stay. MAKE SURE you scour for seeds. ALERT when you go out for dinner there is a GREAT chance a half of a large bob marley will be sitting in your ashtray, do indulge. Spread the LOVE and do share with friends, even make new friends and share with them. You will be amazed at how it brings people together- deep conversations about life, religion and everyday struggles will follow. BE prepared for how it relaxes your MIND, body and soul while you are on vacation.

my next-to-the-oldest dawta just returned from a Jamaica-vacation
..'twas here and several folks from my first-wife's side of the family

one of the group, an early-twenty-something male
linked up with one of those weed-vendors,
and the idiot paid US $40 for *something*

* sigh *

when my-dawta told me $40 i laugh-ed so hard
'cause he must have bought a sack-full of weed .... a BiG sack full
lol
lol
lol
lol
lol

nevertheless,
when he passed-thru customs/immigration on the USofA arrival-side
one of those every-present drug-dogs
went berserk upon sniffin' the idiot-young-man

* sigh *

of course,
they took him in the back-room
to chat

to-date --- one month later ---
we no know that they chatted about ::::: idiot-male wasn't talkin'

lol
lol
lol

*they* put the fear-of-God in him.

lol
lol
lol

they didn't *keep* him or ship him off to jail

??? my point ??? ---- be care-full, friends & fellow-boardies

lol
lol
lol

i'm STILL laugh-ing about that USofA $40
....along with some other OUT-rageous prices-paid by my dawta and the group
on their first-time to Jamaica, at an all-inclusive

* sigh *

a tip ::: >>>> newbies should always do *research* on their vacation destination
...if you're a newbie to-Negril .... use this message board


p.s..... Rob,,, THANKs a bunch for this service

$40 isn't bad... for a qp.

Good thread.........

I've always wondered.....if you do not smoke but are in close contact with those that do....will it show up on a drug test say the next day?

No, being around pt smokers will not elicit a postive test result. Even in the unlikley even you inhaled enough to register anything on the test, a certain threshold of thc metabolites have to be reached before the test is considered "positive". Trace amounts from secondhand exposure won't trigger a positive result, unless, say fr example, you spent hours ina car with someone who was smoking with the windows up the entire time. In an unlikely scenario like that, I'd say all bets were off, and one may inahe enough to result in a positive result

Thanks Troublemaker.

Newbies, please don't pick up random half finished spliffs and smoke them. You don't know what else may be in it or whose lips have been on it.

I'm speaking as a tourist, that's a good price for a qp. You can get the full boat for that price if you're local, but I don't try to push my luck that much. I'm happy paying that.

Quantity does not equal quality......... The average tourist does not need a QP while in town, unless of course it is stress. With that said, you are only good for up to two ounces(ticket), so stay away from the QP's anyway. Make a little effort and find some high grade, which is essentially mid grade to those who are fortunate to get true high grade back home.

TAH, I agree with you and the price. Compared to back home, it is an outstanding deal.

I prefer the home grown.

Five plants per "domicile" now.

Reap about two weeks before I get back...

Oh, yeah for sure. What I get is always quality (for JA, not the same as back home). I'm a very, very choosy pot snob. You're correct on being good for two ounces, but if you have two people...

So when can we start talking about where in Negril to get the best smoke?

Stop it HarryS. We don't need to discuss anything of the sort on this board. Make your own way.

I was joking, and I understand the possible legal repercussions for selling ganja in Jamaica and am not trying to get anyone in trouble - but want to point out that it is perfectly ok for us to talk about who has the cheapest red stripes, the best two for one rum punch special, the best jerk chicken, and one day (sooner than later in my opinion) the ganja will be just as legal as those other things and there will be no reason not to discuss it.

It would be a huge revenue stream for Negril and all of Jamaica if it could be sold similar to how it is done in Amsterdam.

ummmmmmmm

you JUST-reminded me
of *something*

that's been puzzle-ing me for loooong-time:::::::>>>>>> here in USofA, and among tourist-folks in-Jamaica, i see folks passing/share-ing a spliff.

BUT,

i do not observe that-*practice*

when i'm in Jamaica/Lucea-country

* sigh *

such a puzzle-ment ((( to me )))

Sheer availability/afffordability comes into play somewhat there, Smith. In the US, at least in some parts, ganja isn't or until recently hasn't been...widely available, and when it is, smoking a huge joint all to yourself is oftentimes overkill, expensive and unnecessary. Considering true US quality high grade can creep up to 400 US Dollars an oz, people like to be a bit conservative in their use. When you can buy a QP or more for $40US, the quality will be less than that found in the US typically, but sheer abundance makes rolling a joint the size of a baby's leg a lot more fun, and you don't feel nearly so inclined to share, when there's plenty for anyone else present to roll their own if they feel like partaking. At least, thats MY take on things....

I was told by a jamaican years ago.......1 man 1 joint!

Smith, Troublemaker_420 nailed it. I rarely even smoke spliffs at home because most of it goes up in smoke. In Jamaica there's no need to conserve. And if you think $40 was a lot. I had friend pay $100 about oz in St Ann's. This was even after I had told him what the going rates were. I'm still laughing at that one too.

* sigh *

a BIG *SIGH*

WHEREAS,
compared to back-in-the day,
I can call Jamaica much-much cheaper:::::

JUST got off the phone
with my Lucea-landlord

mi-SAY:::>> '''... how much, would *stuff* would i get from **person-X**, whose selling in-country @ retail, if i'm gonna pay Ja$4,000...'''
he-SAY:::>>> ''' depends ... on quality, but could get at least 1-pound, or a pound & a half...''''

.
.
.
.

lemme share a couple thread/topic-*related* stories with you-alls

1....ONCE upon,
quite a few times

my Lucea-country neighborhood guys would
try to talk me into
becoming a weed-vendor

dem-SAY:::>> """...Bill.... since you go over-so to Negril, and know a few tourist, blah blah blah...'''

* sigh *

of course FIRST me-SAY::::>>> '''... You take me for an idiot...''
and we all laugh together

2...It's a familiar joke
in-country

to chat 'bout going over to Negril to sell something to tourists at inflated prices, 'cause tourists are use-to paying US $xxxxxx, back in-foreign

THAT
is so sad

:-(

your-friend
could have hooped into a route-taxi to Sheffield

or some some-place just outside Negril,
and walked up to almost any likkle roadside shop

and
purchase nuff stuff for a couple spliffs
@ US 50-cents

* sigh *

DO your *research*/homework, friends

* sigh *

I find no problem with some one paying 100.

The buyer probably felt like he got a great deal as they're paying 150 a quarter oz up North.

As long as the visitor went home happy....so what?

They didn't spend your money!

I am soooooooooooooo lovin' your *point-of-view*

by the way,
PLEASE forgive me
if i gored your ox

The way I see it....If I'm *overpaying* at 40 a QP, just consider it another contribution to the economy. its certainly a better deal than I can get here at home, and, should I choose to I can keep on burning throughout my vacation and never feel as though I'm bieng wasteful or overspending. I actually probably come out FAR ahead on my weekly smoke budget when I'm in Jamaica compared to what I'd consume $$ amount wise here in the US during a given week, while smoking a MUCH larger amount.....

Reminds me of a lil story about "overpaying"...

just got picked up by Alfred in the van(rest his soul), we start heading to Negril but another 2 couples came in and refused to get in with Micheal (smaller car, bla bla...) so we turned around to pick them up- no biggie...

So we stop at the gas station in MoBay and of course there are people there swinging herb to the 'fresh from foreign'. As Alfred goes in to pay for gas- this new passenger buys less than 1 spliff worth for $4000 jamaican! The lady with him is freekin out- "what are you doing, you don't even smoke!?!?!?" The other guy "Do you even know how much $4000 jamaican is?" The guy had no idea at all how much $ he just gave the man...

Alfred was super pissed at him and it changed the whole vibe. Then 2 minutes later there was flashes of headlights- Alfred warns us there might be a road block ahead. The guy immediately tosses the small handful out the window. Alfred now- super pissed... once we dropped them off- vibe came back and we laughed our arses off.

But I guess you could call this "overpaying" bahaha
