What is the appeal of Jamaica for musicians who want to get clean. I What do they do in particular? Drink rum all day and sleep on the beach until the withdrawal symptoms subside?

That, plus the same principle as the rehab place in Ireland that Ron Wood uses, the one that's in the middle of the Irish countryside. Which is that, you put yourself in a remote place where you don't know anyone, and where drugs are relatively hard to get, it just makes it a LOT harder to get into trouble when you are in the middle of nowhere and don't know anyone at all.

Guess so, but I always had the impression that there were lots of drugs in Jamaica. It's not a place I would readily think of to get sober. Now..Mongolia...that would be the answer. Always wanted to go there!

I didn't say anything about bellmen bringing you hefty garbage bags of ganja for under $100!

... I read in Jack Bruce's biography that both he and Mick Taylor went there in 1975 (I believe)...
.... Anyway, apparently plans went awry because Mick's wife met them at the airport with a bag full of drugs. Makes me wonder if she did that on her own accord or Mick secretly asked her to meet him there because he knew he couldn't get sober. How these people cleared Customs is anyone's guess.

Interesting story, can only imagine how it went, probably that Mick and Jack had the best of intentions, but were probably bummed out and feeling the pangs, but ready to do the right thing, but not a happy time.... and then.... voila!! more drugs!! oh well, will get sober later.[/
I only went to Jamaica one time, it was a great trip.
ronnie might not know anyone in the middle of knowhere but everybody knows ronnie and i imagine it's very easy for him to get taken care of ,fame and celebrity can come in handy!Quote

Well, it appears that Rose Taylor spoiled their best intentions, at least according to Jack Bruce. You know if that's true, she may have felt threatened if her husband was trying to get clean. If you're an addict you certainly don't want your mate to get sober. The relationship would most likely fail.

What's the scoop with Rose Taylor. Was she as bad an influence as I have read in various books? They are not still together are they?

According to Tony Sanchez, many people got into heroin after being strung out on coke. Cocaine would make you nervous and jittery, and too high; and heroin would bring you back down..or to "sanity" as he called it. I know MT was into coke big time, so I'm sure he turned to heroin very quickly to calm him down. It was common behavior in his circle of friends and associates. As he said, drugs didn't have the sinister quality as they do nowadays. Well..yeah!

Excuse my ignorance, but Ganja is marijuana right? How do they make it that strong..is it treated with chemicals?
