Barbados’ medicinal cannabis industry will get under way in January.
Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Indar Weir also said that when it gets started it would not be a repeat of the sugar industry. Weir was speaking during a public forum on the medicinal cannabis industry at Queen’s College last night.
