A fair\/er workshop for small medicinal cannabis farmers will be convened here later this week. <\/p>\n
The event is expected to culminate in the formulation of a fair-trade charter or protocol for the medicinal cannabis industry. <\/p>\n
Organizers say the outcome of the workshop is expected to be used in a global context and would be considered a significant development, once achieved. <\/p>\n
The workshop is being organized by Transnational Institute-TNI in collaboration with the Medicinal Cannabis Authority (MCA) and the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Cannabis Revival Committee (CRC). <\/p>\n
It will run from November 8 -11. The TNI is an international research and advocacy institute committed to building a just, democratic and sustainable world. <\/p>\n
TNI has served as a unique nexus between social movements, engaged scholars and policy makers for more than 40 years. Day one of the workshop will bring together a group of more than one hundred traditional cannabis cultivators for exchange and learning. <\/p>\n
The second and third days will bring together policy makers and influencers in a smaller group setting, while the last day will see participants engaged in a field trip to observe what\u2019s happening on the ground in respect of the local medicinal cannabis industry. <\/p>\n
Participants will attend from the CARICOM Ganja Commission, Colombia, Jamaica Cannabis Licensing Authority as well as from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados and Saint Lucia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
