ATL_Miami_Cruiser Posted December 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Arrested while on the ship and jailed in Jamaica or arrested while on the island? Edited December 13, 2015 by ATL_Miami_Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texast518 Posted December 13, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Arrested while on the ship and jailed in Jamaica or arrested while on the island? Do not know, the Galveston webcam blog said 2 involved, one in jail, one taken off Magic in cuffs. Not sure if related Edited December 13, 2015 by texast518 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy traveler69 Posted December 13, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2015 they tell you not to even engage in conversation regarding weed!! don't dot it! I don't know if that's the reason, but stereotypically, Jamaica is known for that. don't do it! we saw some people stopped on the gangway by the police and escorted off a few years ago.

happy traveler69 Posted December 13, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2015 just read on another thread that people get arrested when they have outstanding warrants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Cares? Posted December 13, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 13, 2015 just read on another thread that people get arrested when they have outstanding warrants! Usually that is in the US when disembarking from a cruise, not in a foreign country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy traveler69 Posted December 14, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Usually that is in the US when disembarking from a cruise, not in a foreign country. oh, ok... thanks for the clarity. then I'll go back to my original theory....

riffatsea Posted December 14, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 14, 2015 It is perfectly legal to buy marijuana in Jamaica now. They are selling legal edibles along the highways. You cannot bring it back into the USA but I doubt if anyone would be arrested for that while actually in Jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that you will only face a small fine unless you hold a medical card. They are indeed strictly enforcing any attempt to leave the country with any.

riffatsea Posted December 14, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 14, 2015 We had a private tour in Jamaica and the guide told us it was now legal. If that is wrong then I am sorry for that wrong info. I just checked on line and it is true that it is "medical marijuana" that is legal but for the rest it is only a fine to have a small amount. You still wouldn't be thrown in jail for that.

texast518 Posted December 14, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Interesting. I just got off the Magic yesterday and did not know anything about this. We saw the young man come off in handcuffs on webcam even though it was POURING down raining. Plus two ambulances.

cruiseonthebrain Posted December 14, 2015 #16 Share Posted December 14, 2015 We had a person a few cabins down taken off in handcuffs in St. Thomas. Don't know what it was for- but the entire passageway reeked of marijuana before he left and not so much after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems local, county and state will run the names of passengers.....looking for outstanding warrants...Yup, they all get a free excursion....to the county jail in Galveston! and they all get their own "special" bracelets...not the I am on this tour bracelet, but the steel kind.

Quackattackaggie Posted December 17, 2015 #21 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I just thought I should hop on here and say marijuana is not legal to buy in jamaica; it is just decriminalized. I highly highly recommend that you avoid buying controlled substances of any kind in jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
