Just wanted to add.....

I think it's a little disingenuous to make it seem as though its something that goes on in the margins. I read so many reviews where people are shocked at how prevalent it was. I normally assume these people didn't do enough research about where they were visiting\staying. Downplaying it does a disservice to those who would like to avoid being exposed to it.

I think at least some of that naivete has to do with forums that don't allow free talk. Trip Advisor is a great example, any thread like this would be censored very quickly.

No one is saying it's not prevalent in Negril....but GerryG is telling everyone that it's okay to smoke almost anywhere in Jamaica which is absolutely not true & this becomes a disservice to those that don't want to be exposed to it.

Everyone should be informed that there are places that are not okay with people just lighting up at their convenience....too many go around thinking & doing as Gerry does.

It is simple...ask first out of respect for the owner of the establishment, other patrons & the law.

If you ever attempt this....I would like to be there to see their faces!

That's something that in thought, I would pay good money to see. In reality, my conscience would never allow it knowing full well what the repercussions would be...

With legalization effors proving succesful in the States, you have to think that it won't be long before countries such as Jamiaca also move forward with some type of decriminalization or legalization of ganja as well, right? It's probably not "if", but "when" it happens.

Things are happening quickly (finally) on that front. Jamaica is supposed to be decriminalizing herb sometime later this year. What exact form it will take, I don't know. It can only mean good things to come, that much is certain.

Agreed...It was meant to be a general comment but to avoid any confusion, my response was mostly directed at Westender's comments as far as this thread is concerned. Hopefully someday soon this topic will be as cut and dry as "where can I get a cold Red Stripe" and not rise to the level of " How do I use Route Taxi's"
