Just ask your driver (cab, shuttle, whatever) or a staff member at the place you are staying. It is NOT smart to try and take it with you....customs GOES THROUGH your stuff. Not necessarily everyone, but my husband was pulled for complete searches twice. It's much easier to get it outside of the US, believe me! Enjoy
yeah, the cabbies just take your money as a "tip" and they give you "free" marijuana.

hope you have a nice experience in jamaica. i need to get out of the country.
