Napa
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
trade:
The tours pass through places like Nine Mile,
the tiny hometown of reggae legend, and famous pot-lover, Bob Marley.
Here, in Jamaica's verdant central mountains, dreadlocked men escort
curious visitors to a farm where deep-green marijuana plants grow out of
the reddish soil. Similar tours are offered just outside the western
resort town of Negril, where a marijuana mystique has drawn weed-smoking
vacationers for decades.
"This one here is the original
sinsemilla, Bob Marley's favorite. And this one here is the chocolate
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.
