Blaine Dowdle, chief executive 2011 emmy award winners officer of Canada-based MedCannAccess, is urging Jamaica to act quickly and seize the vast economic 2011 emmy award winners opportunity that could come from legalising marijuana and establishing an export market for the product.
According 2011 emmy award winners to Dowdle, his country is looking to engage in the potential CDN$1.2-billion medical marijuana market. However, it is very expensive to grow marijuana in Canada, and hence investors there would be more than willing to import it from Jamaica.
Dowdle, who was in Jamaica to participate in Sunday's Cannabis Stakeholders Forum that was staged at the PCJ Auditorium in St Andrew, said MedCannAccess is a leader in the medical cannabis field, 2011 emmy award winners working to improve access 2011 emmy award winners for patients across Canada.
"I'm here from Canada representing 50,000 sick patients right now who don't have access to safe, reliable, inexpensive medicine. Lots of the people using medical marijuana in Canada are disabled, they are literally sick and don't have a lot of money, and they do need lower-cost cannabis in Canada," he told The Gleaner .
"There is an import provision within our new regulations which we are becoming licensed under. 2011 emmy award winners Hence, we would be able to import marijuana to Canada from any country in the world that has a medical marijuana product that is ready for export. Our regulations are already in effect and we have passed everything except the security check, which we are expecting any day now," Dowdle said.
He said that in Canada, growing marijuana was phenomenally expensive. They have to do it indoors, use lights, nutrients and very expensive ventilation systems he said, describing it as a complicated system.
He added, "Jamaica has probably the best environment in the world. With the help of small farmers you would be able to set up smaller-scale and lower-cost production spaces that would ideally fill a need in the Canadian market."
"I 2011 emmy award winners hear everyone talking about Uruguay bypassing Jamaica and becoming the first Southern Hemisphere country to get into the Canadian medical marijuana market. However, Jamaica still has that opportunity." 2011 emmy award winners
"If the weather is there, the determination is there and the people want it, then it's yours for the taking, as there is a great need in Canada for lower-cost medical marijuana of higher quality," 2011 emmy award winners Dowdle added.
