How's the variety in April? I've been in March and it was great! Purple Haze, Pineapple Kush... But since then I've only been in November twice and January twice and there wasn't much in terms of huge differences in strains available. I've been told that Spring is a better time for harvesting. Is that true?
Ah but are these truly the strains they have, or are they just saying names they think people want to hear? One guy showed me "purple skunk" one trip and there was no purple on it whatsoever.Originally Posted by Jerms

Purple Skunk is a staple in Westmoreland, very common, so it probably was exactly that. Anything they're calling "kush", is just saying a name people want to hear. Pineapple is getting pretty common down there too.
Exactly what I was going to say. I noticed a couple years ago that "Purple Skunk" was all the rage! I said then some tourist must have asked for it and word got around the beach, now they all claim to have "Purple Skunk."
Unless you really know someone, you getting whatever they randomly got to take to the beach.
yeah, i'd say 99.99999 of the people listing strain names are full of it in Jamaica. This isn't a Denver dispensary....99.5 percent of the weed i've smoked in jamaica, and its been more than my fair share....has been indistinguishable from batch to batch. once in awhile, you may happen across something truly exceptional, but only once or twice have i scored weed i thought ws comparable to what i get here in the states on a regular basis. Sure, some might be a bit greener than others, but in the end, it all basically smokes the same in my experience, and the prices make smoking all day every day a viable alternative, wheres it would be a 400 dollar a day habit to do so here LOL
There is no question that Jamaica offers some very fine outdoor conditions highly favorable for the growing of some extreme quality from most any strain, but if you need to know where to look?
Someone mentioned a place called DOCS 420 in another thread. 1 ounce is legal.
Technically not legal, up to 2 oz is decriminalized, you can get a ticket you'd have to pay in Sav I think? Last I heard it was a $5 fine.

That's been my experience when I've been down in the Winter. Everyone has a name for their product, but it's usually all very similar. However, the one time I came in March there was definitely some very different strains around. And the purple haze was very purple. I'm not really worried about the potency since the strength of it in Jamaica is not like the hydro stuff back home. Moreso just variety in taste, aroma, smoke, etc.
I didn't want to be the one to bring this up, but since the cat is out of the bag; what going rate for a 1/4 oz?
