Never been to Jamaica...but A-Dam is a fun town/fun time for sure if you like to smoke weed non-stop/party all day...

Worth every cent. Somewhat expensive...but hey...for me it was a long-time comin....so i didn't go overboard..but I didn'ty sleep in a dump/dive either. (we rented an apt w/ kitchen and saved $$$ that way)

Oh...and everyone speaks English bro. Lotsa Brits too. As far as "rough"...we had no problem/saw nothing as seedy/scary as in most American cities...etc. and we were out late most nights. It's tourist-geared and that's the revenue source ...and yeah...there could be problems for those who are too fucked up/beligerrent..etc..like anywhere else... but we found that the coffeeshops w/ the weed were quiet and the bars with the european sporting matches/alcohol were the rowdy/places to avoid. Most of the obnoxuious stuff happens..just like in America...when the bars let out...

We have as good as..if not better than..pot here in the US iof you grow yer own. BUT..the selection oif hash was sure a lot of fun...and we tried a lot of bud just the same...just didn't find anyhting all THAT special. In the end..places like Twede Kramer that were hash bars/hash heavy were the places we went the most...

goin back next spring..i hope..we'll see how the $$$ is by then...

fun reading here...but don't believe every word in the reviews. we found all shops to be fairly tolerant/nice places. If it wasn't and you sat down anyway...it's **yer** fault. A lot of folks whine too much and evidently..expect the World to STOP when they walk in an establishment. We were low-key and it was a BLAST.!
