RESPONSE: by WGHey John,
Thanks for reaching out to me, I really appreciate your question.
The use of marijuana is currently decriminalized, which means that it's no longer a criminal offense to possess small amounts of it for personal use, but note personal use only.
However, there are some additional things to keep in mind:
Legal Dispensaries: There are registered dispensaries on the island where you can purchase marijuana legally. They adhere to the regulations set by the Jamaican government and offer a safe and controlled environment for obtaining cannabis products.
Farm Tours: As you mentioned, there are specialized farm tours available. These tours provide a unique opportunity to learn about the cultivation and production of marijuana in Jamaica. They can be an educational and interesting experience.
Local Hustlers: While some individuals may approach you on touristy streets offering marijuana, it's important to be cautious if you choose this route. Don't get me wrong, you might run into wonderful folks too but just based on the share nature of that activity, the quality of what they offer can be uncertain.
It's worth noting that while marijuana laws have relaxed in Jamaica, it's always essential to be aware of the legal boundaries and respect the local culture. Personally, I don't promote its use, but I want to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions during your stay.
Enjoy your time in Jamaica, and if you have any more questions or need further information about your visit, feel free to ask. RESPECT!
