October – Around the Caribbean by Bike, Thumb and Sail

The Scene: Tulum

Crystal clear diving. Dazzling white sand beaches. Tanned and toned travellers from around the world. Hip bar/comidas facing the surf. The perfect first stop on the gringo trail. What took me so long to get here?

Mayan Green – Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

The dope improved markedly across the Yucatan Channel on the beaches of Quintana Roo. Fresh green, sticky buds, very potent. Highly aromatic with a sweet, almost fruity smell. You could squeeze the bud between your fingers and it would stick to your thumb due to the resins in the hairs. Nice.

Seaweed – Key West, Florida

Key West was a doper’s paradise in 1975. Celebrated in song by Jimmy Buffet (load that last ton), pot smoke would waft down Simonton every night and joints would be surreptitiously passed around down by the shrimp dock. Weed was everywhere.
