I smoked some really fresh green sticky pot from montego bay jamaica 1st time i went.. Wow it was really strong and the taste was great.. Natural weed is way better than all that lab grown stuff!
Pot in Jamaica is goooooooooooooood
Really CBC, still calling it Marijuana?! Cannabis is the proper name!
Welcome to the world of mass marketing as it applies to marijuana. Jamaica has a recognizable and respected brand, and regardless of whether our BC hydroponic is better, it doesn’t matter, Jamaican pot is just cooler than Canadian pot could ever hope to be.
Case in point, Old Suntory scotch. Internationally recognized as one of the greatest scotches ever but it’s Japanese and we all know that a middle grade Scottish scotch is what we might prefer (and I don’t care how good the Bulgarian sakae is, I’m going to get Japanese).
The best grown Cannabis in the world grown in the blue mountains of Jamaica
Every country in the world is making money out of cannabis instead of Jamaicans!
Ganja
Good look for Jamaica and it’s farmers. But I hope they don’t try to rip us off by buying a little and them take it to there lab modify it an then stop buying ours
Jamaican weed are naturally grown, not like The others that are fell up of man made chemical to make them stronger .. get out of here
Exploitation
I’ll take Jamaican hash anytime.
thats a lie we (Jamaicans) do not use it as a sacrament Rastafarians use it as a sacrament
Is she a Jamaican or what
The pot should be grown in Canada!! Buy Canadian!!!
Just remember it’s just for the big man
Canadians would be better off importing Jamaicans weed. Canadians sell regs for $10-15 a gram. In Jamaica you can’t even get a gram you get an oz branch for $20 American.
Jamaican use Wray & Nephew rum on our chest when we are sick not oil from weed. Where this white lady get her facts?
M
Jamaica has the BEST weed EVER. We produce the BEST and RAREST weed on the planet!
Jamaican weed has been coming to Canada ever since i can remember! Especially that Red gum.
We have the best
Jamaica… land we love
Poor farmers still not going to benefit in no way cause only elites are getting legal papers the poor man never get a pass only family of bankers
Yes,🇯🇲 Ye-yess at last!! I have been praying for this recognition of Jamaica’s God-given rich natural resource, as the imperialist did so centuries ago. Nationally Cultivated & internationally imported as products/ medicine again will create jobs & enrich the Jamaican economy- as God intended. It broke my heart every time I saw Jamaican news reports of police BURNING fields of their natural resource, that is well-known to be the best in the world!!!🇯🇲🇯🇲. I long believed that not only should US agricultural sanctions be lifted off Jamaica from legally cultivating it (so they can harvest it themselves- its’s California’s biggest income generator which is America’s richest State), but all western countries should be prevented from growing and in order to boost Jamaica’s future export income, improve their overall economy & infrastructure, enable financial independence & greatly reduce high unemployment of its people, esp their youth. This would be just compensation for the devastating under developmental consequences, that slavery & slave owning imperialism created for Jamaica and still considered a 3rd world country, consequences that Jamaicans are still trying to overcome today. Thank you Canada, I pray the rest of the western world will follow your genius example.👐👏👍🙏
Of course a White non-Jamaican woman is running this company. And fabricating Jamaican culture.
Wtf is this!
SmH!
Bruh this needed to be owned by a black person Jamaican at that
👌👍
Why is a white woman speaking about importing pot from Jamaica? Shouldn’t a Jamaican speak on the topic? Or is Jamaica still colonized?
My Jamaica island is the best of growing organic weather it’s Herb’s or ground provisions when its comes to agricultural Jamaica globally.
All good and everything ….I would love for you to make sure that the farmers get the money not the government……. Them Don’t know any about weed ….the Bush farmers….get them … talk to them
next legal heroin. Oh Canada
IT should be used ONLY for MEDICINAL purposes and BANNED for recreational use
Where is she from
I’m jealous. I can only buy weed grown in Nevada, some in my garden.
Imported from Jamaica to Canada? Surely you mean "Exported"?
Bob Marley joints🔥💨💯
sure sure SURE !!! FOR CANADA FOR CANADA!!! FOR QUALITY FOR QUALITY!!!!
MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!!!
Don’t you mean exported. But we don’t speak English in Jamaica right?
Anything to waist Canadians tax dollars if it’s not importing somthing that Canada has to much of or funding terrorism what a waist
It’s about 20% of Jamaican smoke weed .
Good for Jamaica
youre great girl, you sell Jamaica well
25% of the world smoke WEED, and al them bombo clat ah madd!! NO crazy. Crazy ah different!! Thing!!!!!!
Canada, good job. Marijuana, no fatalities, unlike cigarettes (42,000 Canadians deaths a year), alcohol is high as well.
The War on Drugs is an utter failure and disaster: Narco states, law enforcement corruption (see US asset seizures and bribes), violence…decades of this UTTER NONSENSE, no impact on drug usage. In the US private prisons and Big Pharma are blocking marijuana legalization.
Greed is getting in the way. Just decriminalize it .
Jamaican pot is crap!!!
She represent Jamaica for weed after the struggle is over
Its all good and well to have trade but who is this lady really? Before the legalization I can’t recall seeing these ppl
Like most pot ceo she sounds like knows nothing about cannabis
Always profiting from others’ hard work and expertise….. ever the shameless opportunist!
