has wine tours, Scotland has single malt whiskies tours, but Jamaica?
It has ganja tours. That's right - according to David McFadden of the
AP's The Big Story, Jamaican "farmers" have added tourism to the pot

skunk. It's special for the ladies," a pot farmer nicknamed "Breezy"
told a reporter as he showed off several varieties on his plot one
recent morning.
