Caribbean Nations Discuss Marijuana Legalization at Saint Lucia Conference
According to latina.cu, on March 19, official agencies from countries including Jamaica, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis held a two-day cannabis legalization industry development seminar in Saint Lucia in the Caribbean.
In 2022, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines established the first medical cannabis consumption center in the region - Greenhouse Café, and have since allowed the public to purchase formulations containing cannabis after receiving medical consultation.
In fact, the country requested the Caribbean Community in 2013 to promote discussions on lifting criminal penalties for the therapeutic use of cannabis leaves and to produce it as a flourishing industry that could promote economic prosperity within the alliance.
Grenada plans to establish regulations by 2024 to move forward with the development of the pharmaceutical industry focused on producing cannabis-derived products.
The Caribbean region hopes to diversify its economic base through this project, which aims to produce and sell marijuana products. Each person will be allowed to have only five marijuana plants or 24 grams of marijuana, especially for members of the Rastafarian movement.
