Anthony Bailey, the CEO of HERBS has announced that the Board of Jamaican Cannabis Licensing Authority has provided the company a conditional offer for it to become the first legal medical cannabis business in Jamaica. A seed to seed license has been provided to ensure that all their cannabis products contain great quality. The specific license will allow the possibility of monitoring development quality, product design and any compliance issues that they might face when operating. HERBS, Health Education and Research of Botanical Sciences, is close to Orange Hill, a hilly area in Jamaica popular to be one of the best places in the world to grow cannabis. The place is known for farmers in Jamaica for providing tours around this area, as some may call it the 'pothead paradise'.
Licenses for the retail outlets and the opening of the herb houses are expected to be considered in May. If you are wondering what an herb house is, it’s a place where patients will be able to purchase and use their medical cannabis. Various products will be stocked here and people will also use cannabis at these places, so they can also socialize and share their experiences. HERBS are also waiting on other useful licenses to allowing their products to be exported, as well as for researching and development. Medical use of cannabis was only just being legalized, however, if you are still going for recreational use it is still considered illegal. HERBS are waiting to educate everybody about how medical cannabis can benefit you to spread awareness that it may help your problems.
The Jamaica government also has a history of being uncertain on people using cannabis for recreational use, even though the Rastafarian population has always promoted cannabis culture in this way. There are also certain cannabis farmers in Jamaica that grow cannabis plants illegally out of the law and supply tourists who visit their farms looking for the best weed Jamaica can provide. Now over the recent years, there has been many research and studies have proven that cannabis used for medical purposes can help with many medical associated problems or illnesses. In fact, it can also cure cancer and help with pain relief. So, it can help with problems such as Parkinson’s disease and depression. After many years of research being hampered by legislation, it is now taking place at a tremendous rate and it’s only going to increase.
Overall, HERBS have great hope for its legal cannabis operations in Jamaica. The people at the company want to make spread awareness about the benefits of medical cannabis and reduce misconceptions that people normally tend to think.
