Cannabis access at Montego Bay

Doctor's Cave Beach in Montego Bay, Jamaica

Montego Bay is one of the best cruise ports in the Caribbean for legal cannabis access. Jamaica’s decriminalization and herb house system mean cruise passengers can obtain a medical authorization and purchase cannabis legally during their port day.

How to access

  1. Head to a licensed herb house — Kaya Herb House has locations accessible from the cruise terminal
  2. Get a medical authorization — takes about 10 minutes, costs ~US$10
  3. Purchase your products — flower, edibles, concentrates, topicals available
  4. Consume on the premises or at a private location — not in public

Important reminders

  • You have 6-8 hours. Factor in taxi time and the authorization process.
  • Do NOT bring anything back to the ship. Consume everything on shore.
  • Public smoking is illegal even in Jamaica. Use the herb house lounge or a private setting.
  • The 2oz (56g) possession limit applies, but buy only what you’ll consume on shore.
