Also in answer to your comment directed at me, I use a lot of route cars, when I'm there and sometimes a charter as well as drive myself. I don't ask for anything other than a ride, nor is anything else offered.When you say 99% drivers do, that is your perception as you obviously ask them as a smoker. I think your stats are very wild and based on your own experience.
FYI, I am , nor do I look like a church person, or anything other prim and proper . I am a normal woman who carries myself with the same values and respect for me and for others than I do at home. I don't come to Jamaica to smoke as it's readily available in the UK. I dont have a limited view of Jamaica and Jamaicans either. I live in the real world all of the time, I don't need your reality check.
I like ECO,s response in terms of selling crack to a crack head . Some tourists, not all, definitely fit a certain stereotype and that's why you get offered drugs all the time. Your known for buying, and they target you. Some people do get asked a couple of times but after saying no, this dies down.
Most of the places to stay or socialise, recommended on this board by members are full of a particular crowd that do come to Jamaica to get high, and don't have any real experience of Jamaicans outside of the service industry. Again a very limited view as you are in a target market that has been cultivated by tourists as well. Outside of this, life is very different.
I actively avoid these places and that tourist experience.
I think some on this board give very mixed messages, boast about how many times they visit Negril, use Jamaican dialect, say they love it, then are quick to offer a negative stereotypical view of Jamaicans and Jamaica.
