More information: I’m currently living on the island, so I think I have good info to offer…especially for you AUCers
I’m originally from California, so when I thought that SXM weed sucked, I thought I was just being an elitist. No…the weed sucks, as confirmed by several people I know. It’s all brown schwag that smells like lawn clippings. it’s harsh and it has seeds. It’s dirt cheap, though- easily enough for several trips, depending on your tolerance, of course.

Are you still living here? I spent yesterday walking around front street, philipsburg hoping to find something but no luck. I have just moved here to look after a villa and would love a smoke in the eenings. Please let me know if you can help or have extra tips! Cheers

Just bought some in St. Maarten about 3 days ago while on a cruise. Easy as pie. walked about 4 streets back from front street, and walked left. Saw an adult store down at the end of the street. Was asked if I needed smoke within 45 seconds. 2 different men. One ripped me off (didn’t care.. too excited to have found something) second was very fair. Felt bad and gave me a fat 3 dollar sack.. about half as big as what I paid 50 for!
Anyway.. Good luck! but I have heard be careful. The police are known to set up stings where they even offer you pot. I was warned by several nice women who I told to keep the change when buying a pipe. Even though it was seedy, it was substantially better than the shwag I used to get as a kid. Nowhere near the beautiful stuff I see at home nowadays though.
