Where is Cave Hall Pen?

4/20 Ganjabliss Dispensary is on the St. Ann coast between Runaway Bay and Falmouth. The licence is a Herb House one without facilities for consumption, so purchases are take-away only. No website, hours or menu could be verified, which means the profile rests on the regulator's record.

What is the sister store?

A single Instagram account presents both this shop and 4/20 Therapeutic Bliss in Runaway Bay, yet the CLA records them as separate licences at separate addresses. Check the visitor rules in our Jamaica guide.

What does a buyer need to bring?

A doctor's recommendation, a foreign medical card or the Ministry of Health visitor permit, and ID proving 18 or older. The limit is 2 ounces per purchase. Hotels along this coast treat their grounds as public places, so the shop's take-away licence and the hotel's own policy both decide where the purchase can be used.

Cannabis in Discovery Bay: questions

Can I smoke at the Discovery Bay herb house?

No. Its licence is the kind without a consumption area, so you buy and leave, and public smoking draws the J$500 ticket.

Is there a CLA licence for the shop right now?

The CLA list shows an expiry of 18 April 2027. Ask to see the licence at the counter, since the old CLA site has gone offline.
