$269????? Really???
That just seems insane to me. Really disappointing.

Wow, that's disappointing but not at all surprising. Even more than a judge's pass for Amsterdam's CC. Double what I paid last year for Denver's CC. I'd much rather pay $10 for the stepping high party in Feb which is full of locals than contribute to that greed. Maybe my friends at MJinc will gift me a ticket... Lots of great strains on the Island now though, OG kush, AMAZING blackberry, GDP from China (100% Indica), Jack Herer and Phantom OG just to name a few!

Pay $270 (+ fees) to attend 4 day event and then pay big $ to stay at an AI??
What were they smoking?

I was reading about this just today. The whole thing is very badly thought out. Its supposed to be all about Jamaican ganga but the entry fees are prohibitive to Jamaican farmers (around $1,000 US!). I knew from the start this was a tourist thing 100% but was hoping Jamaican farmers would get a fair shake in the game. The cops are going to be all over this, as is the DEA and every customs agent from Jamaica to Timbuktu. Its too bad really - done right and with a bit of thoughtfullness to the country and its culture it could have been a great thing, bringing business to Negril at a time where it really could use some tourist activity.
I read somewhere that Bunny Wailer is on the rampage about it too and threatening to "disrupt" the event.
My guess? The thing is going to be cancelled.
As far as ganga quality in Jamaica it is slowly improving. Those great strains are coming from California in the form of smuggled in seed stock, same as it has been for nearly 40 years! There's even a small indoor movement happening if you can believe it - certain farmers all over the country are taking their shit indoor. Talk about progress but I'd love to see what their JPS bill comes out to. PG&E costs growers here upwards of $10,000 per month for large scale indoor grows!
