Interesting. So you base your island wide statistical statements on the EXTREMELY limited number of the 3 million Jamaicans you have had occasion to interact with? Well, at least everyone now knows how to interpret your view point on things...Originally Posted by gerryg123
The vast majority of people we interact with never smoke it...

I think Geryg123 post is spot on from his view of spending lots of time doing subs from the cliffs to the beach. I would some what agree with him also. Rob this wasn't based on the Island as a whole but the Negril area. Maybe the vast majority won't smoke in front of you but I would say also from my time in Negril most are smokers.
Limo Mon,
If Gerry meant what you think he meant, why did he emphatically state that his "statistics" were based on the people on the island at any given time? He never made any mention or reference of people in Negril, nor did he even mention basing his "facts' on his limited experience until after his claim was challenged by Bnewb and Ackee. And yet, he never said it was based on just his experience in Negril. I am not sure how you can claim he meant something he did not say. He didnt even claim that when given the chance.
His incorrect statement regarding the island can and would confuse any first time visitor and also many of those with less experience visiting Negril. There are thousands of those people that visit this website and message board everyday. Blatant and false speculation stated as fact will always be corrected on Negril.com. The truth is what is important here - not someone's misleading viewpoint based on their limited experience.
As BostonBob mentioned, a claimed para-legal wanting to become a lawyer, Gerry should know better than to state such erroneous information with no basis in fact whatsoever.
You can disagree, but after living here daily for over 20 years, I can say with certainty that most of the folks in Negril and especially on the island do not smoke anything at all.

G man you studying to be a lawyer and you let yourself get beat up based on crap data. Do not put it out there if you can not defend it.
I saw at 3 dives a family in a rental car that displayed a huge pile of ganja on their table in the open and were rolling and smoking freely. No discretion whatsoever. That is just taunting any police authority to arrest them. No cop could have walked by without doing something. They were told by a sage person that they should take it elsewhere and they did not understand that that is illegal. Use discretion and always ask if you can smoke in public areas. Jamaicans have so little time off I doubt that most would pass that time stoned. The "self employed" or unemployed perhaps would. I know one hotelier who would smack the butt of any employee who smoked, right off her property.
Fredstripe strikes again:
"Yea weed is illegal and there is also No gambling in Casablanca."
The perfectly nuanced answer in one sentence.
Nicely played sir!
That rug really tied the room together.
