Advocate for the local cannabis industry, LeVaughn Flynn, is the new Chairman for the Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA).
Minister of State in the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Dr Norman Dunn, who has responsibility for the industry, introduced Flynn during a meeting at the Ministry on Tuesday (February 23).
He said that the new chairman comes to the post with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
“LeVaughn Flynn, I know, is no stranger to a number of persons in the industry. He has written prolifically… on this particular subject matter. That is actually what caught my attention and we need somebody that knows the industry and will drive the industry,” he said.
