Numerous factors have led to a shortage of marijuana in Jamaica, including heavy rain during the last hurricane season, which was followed by a drought. The combination of these destroyed marijuana fields. AP reports that tens of thousands of dollars was lost as a result.

One farmer claims he lost $18,000 in the last few months and puts this down to a combination of the weather and a COVID-19-related 6pm curfew, which means farmers couldn't sort their crops at nighttime, something which is key in marijuana cultivation.
Other reasons for a weed shortage on the Caribbean island include more people smoking the drug, probably due to it being authorised for medical use and the decriminalisation of being found with small amounts of the drug in 2015. Apparently farmers have even stopped growing because they're struggling to keep up with legal use demand, according to Paul Burke, CEO of Jamaica’s Ganja Growers and Producers Association, while tourists are reportedly posting on travel websites saying they're struggling to find weed to smoke.

Triston Thompson works for Tacaya, a consulting and brokerage firm for Jamaica's legal cannabis industry and described the shortage as a "cultural embarrassment".
Thompson added: “Last year was the worst year. We’ve never had this amount of loss. It’s something so laughable that cannabis is short in Jamaica.”
The Jamaican government's Cannabis Licensing Authority denies that there's a shortage.

A 4.5 magnitude earthquake on October 14 caused a new river of lava to gush from the volcano.
A Canary Islands Volcanology Institute spokesperson said the latest eruption had caused a "lava tsunami," which they caught on camera on Friday.

The video shows magma - which sits at temperatures around 1075 Celcius - with high viscosity rolling into La Palma, where over 7.36 square kilometers have been submerged by the lava, according to the EU Copernicus Emergency Management Service.
The 4.5 magnitude quake was the strongest to hit the island out of 100 that occurred in 24 hours, according to Reuters.
The eruption began on September 19, and more than 7000 people have had to abandon their homes. There have been no casualties.
There is a concern, however, about the amount of sulfur dioxide emitted from the eruption.
Clouds of toxic smoke - which can cause breathing difficulties - have reached the Caribbean and neighboring European countries.
