    My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

    The consumption of cannabis is widespread and seems to carry no stigma in the area of the Kalinago Territory that I visited. All walks of life from old to young, male or female smoked. Of course when you have fertile land instead of money, it makes sense that cannabis would be preferred over alcohol, as it can be planted for free. This man, who was a relative of the lady I stayed with was one of the poorer inhabitants. His shack was almost empty and he seemed to have a problem with his feet but being surrounded by a strong community, and clearly a healthy dose of marijuana, he has maintained a positive demeanour.
