    About Island Strains

    Herb house on Jimmy Cliff Boulevard (Hip Strip), Montego Bay; its CLA licence date on the last published list (Oct 2024) has passed.

    Island Strains is listed by the Cannabis Licensing Authority as a Retail (Herb House) licensee at the Casa Blanca Hotel on Jimmy Cliff Boulevard, Montego Bay's Hip Strip. The Herb House category is the retail licence that allows a designated on-site consumption area.

    The regulator's former online directory, archived in February 2023, showed the same address and a term to 14 October 2024, and the CLA's published list kept that date through its last archived version in April 2026. No renewal appears in any official record we could access, and the CLA's new store finder does not include it.

    We therefore list Island Strains as unverified. The Hip Strip is one of the busiest tourist areas in Montego Bay, and this is the kind of place where an unlicensed seller could borrow a known name. If you visit, ask to see a current CLA licence and check the licence type on it before buying. Buyers also need a doctor's recommendation, a foreign medical card or the visitor permit, and may take no more than 2 ounces.

    • Licence category: Herb House (consumption area permitted).
    • Last expiry date shown by the CLA: 2024-10-14.
