    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!

    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



  6. Jackie Smith on September 30, 2020 at 12:53 am

    Every country in the world is making money out of cannabis instead of Jamaicans!

  12. MNT StylingOnABudget on September 30, 2020 at 1:01 am

    thats a lie we (Jamaicans) do not use it as a sacrament Rastafarians use it as a sacrament



  13. Raymond Tulloch on September 30, 2020 at 1:02 am

  14. Hello World! on September 30, 2020 at 1:03 am

  15. Leo Stewart on September 30, 2020 at 1:04 am

    Just remember it’s just for the big man



  16. Mack Jay on September 30, 2020 at 1:04 am

    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.



  17. JadeWasp on September 30, 2020 at 1:05 am

    Jamaican use Wray & Nephew rum on our chest when we are sick not oil from weed. Where this white lady get her facts?

  20. Justin D on September 30, 2020 at 1:10 am

    Jamaican weed has been coming to Canada ever since i can remember! Especially that Red gum.

  23. KUSH NATION FX on September 30, 2020 at 1:13 am

    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



  24. PAULINE SEWELL on September 30, 2020 at 1:16 am

    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.👐👏👍🙏



  25. Flex Flex on September 30, 2020 at 1:17 am

    Of course a White non-Jamaican woman is running this company. And fabricating Jamaican culture.

  26. Judith Jackson on September 30, 2020 at 1:17 am

  27. Slowed Hits on September 30, 2020 at 1:18 am

  28. Angela RM Crane on September 30, 2020 at 1:18 am

    Why is a white woman speaking about importing pot from Jamaica? Shouldn’t a Jamaican speak on the topic? Or is Jamaica still colonized?



  29. Kemical TV Channel on September 30, 2020 at 1:19 am

    My Jamaica island is the best of growing organic weather it’s Herb’s or ground provisions when its comes to agricultural Jamaica globally.



  30. marroon 21 on September 30, 2020 at 1:20 am

  44. Callandor on September 30, 2020 at 1:34 am

    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.



  45. Lawrence Parker on September 30, 2020 at 1:35 am

    Greed is getting in the way. Just decriminalize it .



  46. Vegas 13 on September 30, 2020 at 1:35 am
