Ganja ready for the big times

Going by the announcement by Canada-based Timeless Herbal Care Limited (THC), Jamaica stands to benefit from a US$100-million deal to develop medical marijuana products here for the international market over the next 10 years. We hope to hear a pronouncement on the investment from the local Ganja Producers and Growers Association which has as one of its laudable objectives the defence of the interest of the hundreds of small ganga growers here. Their fear that the small grower could be pushed out when big businesses take over is not entirely unfounded.
