Macy there is weed there, not as obvious as jamaica granted, but definitely there.
Now as a non weed smoker, and someone that dose'nt agree with the political changes with regards to cannabis, I would share that positive viewpoint with you, but I don't think many on here might agree that, this is what makes Cuba an attractive alternative to Jamaica.
I agree, the crime rate is low at the moment, because of the political regime in place. When the regime is relaxed enough to allow visitors from the U.S. and capitalism replaces communism, that low crime rate will escalate.
There are beggars there, the staff ask you for things too...so some similarities to JA in that regard.
There is also the language barrier and a lack of places to hang out. An occasional beach shack...mostly you will be in your AI...so not as many opportunities to experience Cuban life or interact with the locals in the same way as jamaica.
The essence and vibe is totally different, so where as I think Cuba is a great place to visit and experience, I can't see it attracting the regular , long term crowd that jamaica and negril has.
