Bill, (no not you Smith, LOL) and all others who thinks smoking is "harmless"- eating something natural and lighting something afire and inhaling the high-temperature smoke from it are too different things. Please enlighten me what is so "natural" about ANY type of smoking. I would be interested to hear. IRIE! *IG

The plant itself is natural...I believe that's what was meant. As opposed to meth and crap like that, which is much more harmful.

Wow!!!! I better change my ways...Why only this board preached to. The one on the west end is an endless party and no body preaching to them....Just wondering...Is it TOO Irie here or another reason since the party topics are similar except the mindless political stuff....

Papi,
I disagree with your view on custom duties on little offerings of school supplies and such. Get real, if you think any money collected for these might actually get to the people......what a joke.
I've been coming to JA since the early 70's and all I've seen at customs is greed and corruption. They don't abide by the law, why should I ?
I've declared lots and watched them help themselves to the goodies and laugh about it too.
Your view on Ganja is also a joke , parts of Negril was built on it, take off the rose colored glasses.
Of course this is MY opinion and you have yours, lets say we disagree....allot. |

Would much rather burn my lungs then pickle my liver
Watched my grandmother drink herself to death
Nothing mattered but that next bottle of Booze.
Oh but no worries the liquor store was right up the road.
Can not say I have seen that from ganja it is not a physically addictive drug like opium, coke, heroin, rum, beer.
They say it is only mental, imagine that.
We have far to many people all screwed up on R/X and they say here, we will synthetically change your brain???
Think toooo many people are screwed up by theses idiots!
They told me my son had A.D.D. put him on amphetimine, which was called adarol well did some research and ya know what I found out schools get more state aid from all these poor children whos parents follow the system diagnosis.
Even my own family doctor HIGHLY recomended not to give it to him.
Our laws have no problem with a bar at damn near every corner but no one will drive drunk???? RIGHT???
God bless you drink all ya want, pop some a dem legal mind altering pills the doctor gives ya. dem synthetic ones they make in the labs.
The good lord gave us natural ones.
Hey anyway to each there own, just saw way to much preachin.
Everyone goes to Jamaica for there own reasons.
If you bring somthin down for childrens learning there is no reason there should be TAX.
Dem ganja farmers gonna love to hear tourists are tellin people to call 811 on em think dem are allmighty cuz dem in da legal division. Hope one dem farmers dont see you pon de hillside!KINGFISHER |

Hold up........ppl are going waaay off track from the intention of my original post.......that's OK, but if you read my post, I was specifically speaking about the "laws" in response to Keith's Post about the IMAGE of this tourist board, and the closed thread. It is not my "view" that there should be import duty on stuff tourists bring to give away....it's the law, a very similar, if not identical law exists in our country and applies to all visitors. It is not my "view" that ganja should be illegal.........but it is, same as it is here.
when I wrote this
'I Wasnt trying to bait you Keith, just making observations. I do personally choose to go to the declare line, write down everything I bring and often they dont even charge me because theyre really just looking for electronics, and lots of stuff for resale. Works great for me, because its always a shorter line, and if I do have to pay a little duty, I dont feel like Im getting over on them and maybe some of it will trickle down to help the ppl who need it. I do however think its conflicting to say the board is concerned about the image presented to newcomers to the Board and potential new tourists for Negril, and have ILLEGAL content allowed.....the news reports are all about the serious Drug control initiative, Jamaicans are being imprisoned or fined huge amounts of $ for minor ganja infractions, theres roadblocks everywhere, and yet here we sit like it's no problem mon"
I was specifically responding to the board's decision to close certain discussions and allow others......
Nikki, you may think customs is a great big joke, but it's the law.....
Rasta Stan, I'm glad you think we're all entitled to our opinions, but it would be cool if you could voice your own without telling someone else that their post is a "joke".........and especially since you totally missed the point of the post to begin with. |

They have added a shower to the upper tower room...the lower shower you speak of now goes with the Penthouse. 
I love that shower - looks right out to the sea!! |

WOW this board is an ongoing study in thought-process/psychology for sure, LOL.
I have yet to hear an intelligent, fact-based resposne that is DIRECTLY related to my post, much less Papi's- who in case "some of you" forgot with your own guilt-ridden agendas is the one who started this thread? "The Law" seems to be a non-entity here, never mind the consequences. Pleasure-seeking and immediate gratification seems to be the order of the day.
"Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns..." Never mind, Smith, they're too far gone already, LOL.
Soooo.... maybe I should go back to mostly-lurking? OR maybe not...However, as they say, "I can only give you the information, NOT the intelligence to understand it."
IRIE! (too much, so some say- but maybe they're just stoned, LOL) *IG
