International reggae star Jesse Royal has joined Jamaican cannabis company JACANA to help drive the brand’s strategic direction.
The appointment comes on the heels of Jesse Royal s new single, ‘Natty Pablo,’ a tribute to Rastafarianism’s endurance. The partnership with JACANA will see him continue his advocacy for ganja liberalisation.
Their first collaboration is JACANA’s new ORIGINAL
line, which officially launched in Jamaica in February.
Launched in 2018, JACANA has pioneered the development of medical grade, organic cannabis products. The ORIGINAL line provides affordable, high quality, clean flower-based products, with prices starting from J$360 per gram.

Derrimon Trading Company Limited says it has entered into an agreement to acquire control of a food distributor and supermarket in New York.
Led by CEO Derrick Cotterell, Derrimon has incorporated a New York subsidiary, Marnock LLC, which will acquire Brooklyn-based of FoodSaver New York Inc., a wholesale food distributor and Good Food For Less, LLC (Good Food NY), a specialty supermarket.
In a release issued on the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) last week, Derrimon indicated that the consideration for these acquisitions would be in the form of both cash and shares with Marnock LLC issuing a 20 per cent minority interest to Oralcrys LLC, an entity beneficially controlled by the former owner-operator of those businesses.
