CMC could be the agency which grades the Cannabis, thereby allowing independent Antiguan farmers who chose to excel by offering the high grade product to get paid accordingly. Instead, unlike past development of the farmers, today&#8217;s owners, some of them absentee, have our people on their farms, labourers by the sweat\u00a0 of their brow, planting &#8216;Weed&#8217; for a new Massa.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Health, which has been the big sponsor of &#8216;Medical Cannabis,&#8217; needs to huddle with Social Services and the Ministry of Happiness and resolve this matter of struggling youth yesterday. This is no time to revert to the days when our young men lived on High Street begging for their next crack fix, asking people to kick them and pay them!
