You can get a real nice stalk/bud for $20 or less. They'll start asking for a lot higher. Just negotiate to where you feel comfortable.Originally Posted by mcamp
I've heard of prices of $100 for a pound if you have the right connections. Or $80 for a half pound from another person.
As with anything in Jamaica YMMV (a lot!)

I'm a daily smoker, but a pound in a week???
A short history lesson
In the mid 1900s most Ganja was grown in St. Ann's parish and had names Lambs breath, Kings breath and Cali weed.
The best was reaped in April. However some young plants were reaped in December called "Christmas Ganj"
It was Cannabis Sativa as opposed to the Cannabis Indica you get today
Remember that Negril as you know it didn't exist. One spliff would get you serious jail time.
Three things changed the crop:
1. As the children of the 60s, 70s and 80 started visiting and demand skyrocketed.
2. Sativa is a 9 month grow whereas Indica only takes 3 months. More production for more
demand
3. The sensimilla craze devastated the seed base on the Island
But I think over the next few years Jamaican cannabis strain will start to change.
One thing I don't understand is this. I was in Oregon last summer and was surprised to see that outdoor grown Cannabis is less costly than the hothouse variety.
I was once told by a old time Rasta that each plant only had one story to tell. You can get the best you can find but sooner or later it stops telling it's story.

Depends. As little as $5, or as much as $50. Depends on your negotiating ability, and who and where you're getting it. I usually get a QP, and pay around $50 for that, which is still a tourist price, locals can get a pound for $50.
That's why i love Jamaica....@TAH a pound for $50
Re: Ganja in April
I've gotten full grocery bags of smoke for $100. Lambs Breath or any type of Sativa is a different story. You need to know a true Rasta in the hill to get your hands on that stuff. In my 25 years going to Jamaica, I've only gotten my hands on it twice...Any type of Sativa will be a lot more $$$ than the common Indica....
I spoke with a Rasta on the beach and out of curiosity asked if LambsBreath is still around, he called it Lambsbread (I've heard it referred to as both interchangeably) and said he had some elsewhere but also had kingsbread which he said is better grade than lambsbread. But he said they both go for $320/oz because it takes so many months to grow. Yeah that's true it takes twice as long to flower, but at more than 10x regular grade prices? nah....

I never spent that much. Maybe $150 at tops for oz. Lambs breath looks like some really crappy weed. You really have to know what you're looking for. It's real spindly looking, but the high is awesome. Not your typical sativa. You can build a house after smoking it...Also, this was Bob Marley's choice of weed back in the day...really hard to find the true stuff anymore.
Booger,
Thanks for the information. Not being a grower myself or living in a state where it's legal my knowledge is mostly hearsay.
Can you PM me. I'd like to talk further
