FULL STORY: Cannabis has strong ties to Jamaican culture . . . but it’s NOT a legal free-for-all there. And this person found that out the hard way.
A 37-year-old American woman was busted a couple weeks ago after trying to bring about 20 ounces of weed into Jamaica.
And when she was caught, she told the customs officer she wanted to show her Jamaican friends “that there is better weed in the United States.”
The woman was from New York and had a license to have marijuana for medicinal purposes . . . but she did not have permission to have it in Jamaica.
Last week, a court ordered her to pay a fine of $30,000 or do 30 days in jail for importing the drug. It’s unclear which she chose, or if she’s able to appeal.
