Puff, Puff... Pass.

In my opinion, Jamaican inner cities (aka Ghettos) seem like little worlds all to themselves. The people seem to live by a set of unsaid rules, and a perceived freedom to operate differently from constitutional guidelines.

Rastafarians in these communities take it to the next level, with their philosophical and religious bantering. We sat beneath a 'coolie plum' tree by the side of the dirt road and as they passed the chalice in the circle, I quietly (as I could) shot a few rounds. I didn't want to cause them to break from their religious hard talk. Maybe one day I'll get to sit with the area don... Just maybe.
