I just figured it would be cool, cheap, and make me happy. I just wish to smoke all the time, just like a rasta.:rastasmoke:

It would be nice, but theres a huge crime problem there.. Dont expect it to be civilized like here in the states...but hey, a small price to pay to smoke everyday and not worry about cops

is weed legal in jamaica?

No, it's not but the laws are extremely lax.

Err, yeah I thought about it but it's more like, get a house there and go for a month every 6 months. I wouldn't wanna live there, it's really ghetto in a lot of areas but I'd fuckin' love to vacation enough there to know it like the back of my hand.

I need to come home to my tristates. pwnzzzz

Marijuana is just as illegal in Jamaica as in the States, not to mention don't expect to leave a resort area and live =/

HELL NO......

1) Ghetto
2) Steven Segal, Marked for Death
3) Theses colors dont run

I dont understand, you guys say weed is illegal there, but, my friend and his mother went on a cruise there one time and said they saw dudes with machine guns guarding reefer fields, or was this person AND their mother lying to me?

Am i really to believe that jamaicans will just eliminate my white ass as soon as i leave the hotel area? I'm sure it happens but c'mon you're making it seem like a pandemic. I'd like to go to Jamaica one day, go to bob's pillow, meet the rasta tour guide. Meet some rasta elders, smoke loads of ganja and praise Jah. Maybe one day, if i decide to grow deads. Natty only, i don't wanna be called a wolf.

That was probably someone working for a gang or something. Cannabis is illegal over there. Same as it's illegal in canada. And as far as i know, it's illegal in Holland too, just extremely tolerated to the point of it being as good as legal.:beatdeadhorse:

taken from a Jamaican tourism website


Most visitors to Jamaica seldom leave the resorts, and when they do, it is in buses supplied by the resorts, with guides supplied by the resorts, with visits restricted to one of the few Jamaican "tourist attractions". These are usually Dunn's River Falls, Martha Brae River Rafting, Fern Gully, Green Grotto Caves, etc. Otherwise, few tourists take it upon themselves to hire a car and explore on their own (this kind of activity is discouraged by the resorts, with warnings of various possible dangers).
Jamaica boasts a low crime rate towards tourists, which can be attributed to the fact that few people ever leave the tourism centers, and Taxis commonly refuse to bring tourists into the city.

Yeah man, I assume the weed would be purest in Jamaica, and Jamaica is definetally much safer then Africa! Chances are they (Africa/Jamaica) have some of the purest herb in the world, who knows what kind of chemicals they use in Amsterdamn.

chances are you wouldnt be killed if you left the resort area. Theres a good chance you would be robbed though.

i stayed at a sandals resort in jamaica. despite the warnings of the resort my friend and i hired a cab to show us the side of jamaica you dont normally see. he brought us around to the ghettos. you havent seen poor until youve witnessed 10+ people living in a 5x5 hut thats barely able to keep out the rain. we saw the huge mansions that have electric fences 12ft high with 3 spirals of razor wire at the top. this was explained to us as where the rich white people vacation homes and the fences were necessary to keep natives from killing and robbing them. they feel its disrespectful that they come to their land and live so lavishly while they live so poorly. i was reassured we had nothing to worry about because we(tourists) come to the island and spend money with them, where as the rich folk did not. on our way back to the resort he stopped a little ways before it and robbed us. we should have listened.

you wanna live there? i hope your poor and black.

seriously all you people saying you're gonna get killed should learn some basic courtesies, like don't act like normal americans thinking you're special, if you look and dress like a bum here you would probably fit right in there.

you deserve to be robbed if you go out in your $50 shoes and $100 dress clothes with youR expensive accessories.

the people robbing you probably live on about $10 a day. So i can understand them being pissed when you can spend hundreds of dollars a day to relax in their country and be treated like royalty. this is why most of the world hates you america. and i dont blame them one bit!!!!!


BILLIONS OF PEOPLE, IN FACT NEARLY HALF THE POPULATION ON OUR PLANET LIVE ON LESS THAN $2 A DAY.

I DON'T PRETEND TO BE BETTER THAN YOU BUT HAVING COMPASSION AND CARING IS BETTER THAN IGNORING IT AND BLAMING SOMEONE ELSE.:beatdeadhorse: :beatdeadhorse:

tbh id like to go there just so i can live like the people in Jamaica otherwise you're just bringing america with you when you go there.

$50 dollar shoes and $100 dress clothes, I laughed so hard after I managed to close my mouth after my jaw dropped reading your post and wondering, wtf is he talking about... lol, a tourist is a tourist no matter what absurd idea you come up with to "fit in"

well nobody is gonna rob you of your shoes if you don't wear better shoes than them. u can thank me when you're not walking barefoot and naked back to your resort...lol even tho the chances of getting the clothes stolen off your back are relatively low im sure if you go out in fancy clothes or even what you would consider casual clothes you are already putting yourself at a larger risk of getting robbed.



allz im sayin is dont go to jamaica trying to act cool looking like this in front of people like this and you wont have so many problems.


i bet if you go outside in a cheap tee shirt some old blue jeans or old shorts and some cheap flip flops you wont have a hard time making some cool friends, also dont take a wallet full of money, but that should be obvious.

done wear your fucking DG Sunglasses either because if i was a poor jamaican i would bust em up right on your face. those sunglasses prob cost more than this dudes house.


alright im sick of ranting i just dont like people saying "don't go outside they're so ghetto there that you will get mugged just cause"

the people that tell you not to leave your hotel are the ones that pay the big money on all inclusives. the staff at these places scare you into not leaving and staying and spending you money there. i dont live in jamaica, but do go there frequently. and it is legal in one part of jamaica. nine mile which is part of st anns parish is where bob marley was born and raised and where it is legal to smoke. i am sure it is seldomly enforced but i have yet to see it. there is crime in jamaica, but usually outside of the tourist cities and in the hills. and yea, the weed is good:rastasmoke:

It would suck ass... its a horribly depressing place unless you live inside some sort of guarded community and there is a horrible crime issue there especially against foreigners. Plus last i heard marijuana is illegal down there unless if you are a resident of Jamaica and of Jamaican decent. Otherwise if your are caught your put in a Jamaican prison and good luck surviving that shithole!

Either Jamaica or Amsterdam is where I'd like to live for long periods of time.

I can imagine the beaches in Jamaica being vastly beautiful and relaxing, I can't wait! And Amsterdam is just the chillest resort I could go to, some people have called my house Amsterdam just cause there's always somebody smoking.

assuming you agree with the quoted text in your post i will now say that i've lost all respect and interest in you. good luck finding a guy who smarter than the average mcdonalds worker. but as long as he's ripped or famous you're all good, right?

funny how you can judge a place you've never been to, based on one persons view especially when there are several contradicting views in the same thread.

sorry if you see this as a personal attack, which it is not, and was never meant to be but i find your lack of rational thinking incredibly irritating.

i hope you read my thread on volunteer work because the whole goal of that is to make it less of an "unsurvivable shit whole" especially for the unlucky people who live there.

sometimes i wish there really was some global conspiracy and that the people in power are trying to bring about the apocalypse in order to establish some new world order. then most of us wont survive....talk about doing gods work.....uh and P.S. don't move this to politics okay, it wont survive there. like a processed hotdog in the african safari.

seriously man, stop posting.. First of all, the "shit hole" in question is Jamaican jails, did you even read anything before you started on your rampant babbling and insult slinging, or are you defending jails now? Why the hell do you think the ghetto is such a wonderful place? I look at what you have to say from the perspective of being born and raised in a city with twice the national average for murders by city, and really gotta wonder what sheltered world you come from that you can come off talking madd shit like the ghetto is a damn Amusement Park/Social meet. You come here and start screaming about ignorance of other people when you come off like you lived your entire life in a bubble... I don't know how anyone couldn't see some of the rude, ignorant and insulting shit you just said to Reb as a personal attack and you claim it to not be........ So on behalf of Reb... step off kid and shut your mouth, and yes, this is a personal attack, please apologize for your behavior

You call us bad, what you said is a horrible thing to say!

...plus I was just making a comment on the fact that the prisons in Jamaica are shitholes just as most of the country is due to the poverty they were forced into ever since they were originally shipped their as slaves to work the sugar cane fields during the first 200 years of British Rule in Jamaica.

Haha 420365 made himself look like an asshole.

I don't have any intention in living in Jamaca. I went to a resort once. Why would I go somewhere where im not wanted. People who want to live in Jamaca are stupid, it's such a shitty place to live you might as well move into the ghetto in the US. It's not a crime to have money and live a good life so why would you give that all up just to go to a place where you're not wanted, where somebody is robbed every 30 seconds, where you can either buy a huge guarded mansion or a 1 room hut made out of fuckin sticks.

If you want to smoke legally, take a trip to a-dam :rasta:
