Chairman of the Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA), LeVaughn Flynn, says the Dangerous Drugs (Cannabis Import and Export Licensing) Regulations 2020 is now in the final stages before promulgation.
âIt is now with the Attorney Generalâs Chambers and only awaits, I believe, my signature, then on to Cabinet before it is gazetted. So the export regulations are almost complete,â he said.
Mr. Flynn made the disclosure during the Jamaica National Agency for Accreditation (JANAAC) webinar, âCandid Conversations on Cannabis: Jamaicaâs Place in the Multibillion-Dollar Growth Industryâ, held on Wednesday (June 2).
As the industry awaits promulgation of the regulations, the CLA has put interim measures in place for the importation and exportation of cannabis.
The event is in observance of World Accreditation Day on June 9.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of JANAAC, Sharonmae Shirley told
JIS News that the forum will look at âthe changing face of cannabis in Jamaica and the role of accreditation as a safeguard for consumer health and well-beingâ.
She said that related policies will also be examined by participating panellists, alongside matters of regulation, civil society concerns and recommendations.
She said JANAAC believes that it is important to stage an event looking at accreditation as it relates to the cannabis industry, as it is a multibillion-dollar industry that has taken root in sectors including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and agriculture.
