The Antigua and Barbuda Medicinal Cannabis Authority (ABMCA <\/a><\/strong>is proud to announce the graduation of its first cohort of trained cannabis professionals.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Twenty-six (26) participants successfully completed a comprehensive four-week course titled \u201cSetting up Your Cannabis Business\u201d, designed to prepare entrepreneurs for the opportunities and responsibilities of operating within Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s regulated medicinal cannabis sector.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The course, held at the ABMCA <\/a><\/strong>Head Office on Friar\u2019s Hill Road, covered a broad range of topics including regulatory compliance, cultivation methods, pest management, harvesting, business planning, and financial management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sessions were led by local and regional experts two of which were Extension Officer \u2013 Mr. Joel Matthew, and Trinidadian consultant Mr. Nassi Felix. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Each component offered both theoretical instruction and practical insights tailored to the Caribbean context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis program represents a significant step forward in building local capacity and professionalism within the cannabis industry,\u201d said Mr. Regis Burton CEO at ABMCA.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not only equipping individuals with knowledge- we are laying the foundation for a responsible, locally-driven sector that meets both international standards and the needs of our citizens.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With cannabis reform progressing across the Caribbean, this initiative positions Antigua and Barbuda as a leader in responsible regulation and industry development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is expected to become a regular feature of ABMCA\u2019s educational offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The formal graduation ceremony took place on April 17th, during the Medicinal Cannabis Educational Conference held at the John E St. Luce Finance and Conference Center, where participants received their certificates of completion in a public recognition of their achievement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
