QUESTION: Dear Jamaican Herbalist?
No kidding, I am coming to Jamaica for 10 days. I want to try the ganja. Can you tell me how to build a spliff. Also, can I hook up with some Jamaicans and use this weed in any other way? Is it true that there are the Rasta people use ganja in rituals?

RESPONSE: Dear Bruce,
Thank you for choosing Jamaica for your trip.
About the ganja usage. Ganja is first and foremost illegal in Jamaica. You may see persons smoking it, or hear of it’s many uses BUT it is illegal. If you choose to hang and do something with ganja, officially known as marijuana, you do so on your own and put yourself at risk for being arrested, charged and possibly JAILED right here during your trip.
Where the Rastafarians, called rasta are concerned, a number of them use it for spiritual purposes. You will learn of their gatherings, one main one is the Nyabinghi held in several parts of the country.
These persons are perhaps the best persons to advise you on how to build a spliff, or you may try to start a genuine bond with a mature Rastafarian for him to advise you.
On the other hand it has been proven to have medicinal uses in all parts of its plant beyond just the leaves. These uses are many and can be had across the internet.

I would just share on a few myths often believed about ganja (marijuana), as you are writing from a visitor’s or tourist’s point and may need to know these few points.

MYTHS about GANJA.. things that are not true

1. All Jamaicans deal or smoke ganja
2. Marijuana is totally harmless.. This is not true, so please get valid information before you smoke even a spliff if you plan to. Get for example advise on how to build and smoke, and quantities if you really are going to indulge in this practice
3. Marijuana kills brain cells and lead to memory loss
4. Tourists get the best weed to smoke. This is not true unless you get it from a reliable source, and dare I say someone who ‘checks’ for you as some bad persons often sell crappy weed to persons they do not believe they will see again.
5. Marijuana makes one a wise thinker
6. Anyone can and build a spliff, the bigger the better. GET HELP, if you really should.
