What can we expect out of Jamaica Ganja?

Booger....the only other color is green for commercial

I got stopped coming out of my driveway in Spring Garden two weeks ago. There just happened to be a police car going by as we came out from Zion Hill. They stopped us a questioned Linston in Patios about where we were coming from and who was I.

Of course I understood what he was saying and before Linston said anything I explained that I was the property owner for 40 years and had documents with me to prove it (copy of my title, my old work permit and residency visa and my TRN). He apologized for the stop and explained that if they happen to see a "tourist" up in the hills in a car coming out from the bush they will stop and investigate.

Don't say it can't happen.

BTW Gerry....I told you this story the day it happened over drinks at Seastar

You can argue quality all you want, and yes I know there are different strains, but all I know is I have always found it tasty and effective and cheaper than in the states. My advice is NEVER buy it on the beach. There is too much risk of rip off or arrest. Make a friend at your hotel. Life guard, gardener etc. Or a driver you use regularly. Someone that you will see on a regular basis so they are accountable. Discretion is ALWAYS the better part of valor and a safe vacation. Most of all enjoy! After 19 trips I am lucky to have several friends that keep me supplied with only the best at little or no cost. Just one of the many benefits of cultivating lasting friendships.

We are using it both recreationally and medicinally here in the states. We are careful and selective about strains for each. But in JA we're just looking to stay groovy for the week. But this is definitely why quality is huge. Okay - will make friends (we're good at that) and be wise about it verses trying to score some quickly.

Here's another question - pay for it in USD or JA$?

pay for it in USD or JA$?

Cash is king, either works. Ask the person you are dealing with which they prefer.

[Navvet]

anyone you get it from will indicate in USD. If you want to pay for it in $J that's up to you.
Oh btw, great question you asked, its received 3,901 as of this entry. Hope you have a great time down there, it always reignites the relationship with my wife versus other places we travel.

Thanks. Precisely why we're headed this way. Let us hope the 3901 is all good company, ha.

Every time I've ever been in a car at a roadblock, they just wave us through. Once or twice, on a scooter they've told me to put my helmet on, but that's about it. I am out and about more than most tourists, and I've only seen a few roadblocks in all my trips to Negril.

That said, I almost never am holding anything, especially the past few years.

Have story about my profile pic of the limo sitting in MoBay. Look at my profile pic and picture 2 tall Ja police men 1 at the front and 1 at the rear of the limo. Smoke from the subs rolling out the craked windows and my driver telling me No Problem Mon keep smoking. I just knew it was gone cost me to get out this. After the 1 policeman got done talking on his cellie they walked away from the vehicle no words said. Driver said they called and found out who's vehicle it was and didn't want to mess with us. We drove off after taken some pics.

My rides up to get the Orange Hill have been in the back of a pick up with about 6 Jamicains and me. Never seen road block going there. Have seen them and been in them in negril and road to airport. My Ja pals hold on to anyways till we get back to resort. Years ago my driver went trough road block stop 50 feet past it and went to gets us a big stalk. He walked right out with it on his shoulder and threw it in the back with us. I Would not do that today a lot more stricker.
