Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has announced that his government plans to put legislation in place for the legal production of cannabis for medicinal purposes before the end of the year.
He made the announcement during a press conference on Monday.
“In so far as putting the legislation in place and so forth, I believe before the end of this year we will have the legislation in place and the mechanism for certification and licensing and providing of permits to persons who are interested in legal production of cannabis for medicinal purposes.”
He continued, “The issue of cannabis, the Minister of Finance would have articulated certain policy positions of the government in its efforts to further the country’s ability to be part of this growing industry.”
The prime minister plans to engage stakeholders in discussion as far as cannabis is concerned.
According to him, there is also a national committee to spearhead those efforts.
He said there are several issues that this national committee and the consultation must take into consideration, especially in regards to the transacting with cannabis by-products.
“Because as you know banks are not prepared to engage in this because it is still illegal in many countries around the world,” Skerrit stated. “And so this is something that we have to navigate around and to see whether the banking system can come to an appreciation that the by-products are crucial for health and wellness.”
That’s Bull, just legalize it as Thailand did and regulate like alcohol, they will smoke it. CBD is the only by-product noteworthy since we lack manufacturing capacity for fabric, cloth, rope, etc, and for that you introduce hemp. Otherwise we just sit there like fools 👀 watching citizens go to prison for years on end. Sad.
