Antigua’s newly drafted cannabis law will make lawful the cultivation, harvesting, transportation, and processing of cannabis into medicines, drafters from the ministry of legal affairs have said.
The draft law, in its first part, makes a special provision for cannabis to be lawfully used in religious rituals by the men and women of the Rastafarian faith.
The draft law, in its second part, seeks to ensure that certain standards and safeguards are included in order to enable specially licensed farms to grow plants that may vary in their strength (or presence) of certain substances including THC, the psychotropic substance.
The law also ensures that a tightly regularized system for dispensing the medicines is put in place.
The Cabinet is given ultimate control under the draft law, in order to ensure flexibility in responding to any changes that may have to be made. There are more than 80 pages of Regulations.
The draft law is expected to be presented to Parliament for its second and third readings before the end of the year.

That’s the overture for the weed heads to vote for the CJ
Weed head wow you really need to do some research in this plant …well you name says it all
I have mixed emotions on this issue. I feel that if the government is going to take this approach, then they should just fully legalize it. However, I do believe that weed does major damage to people with long-term use. The brains of long-term weed heads and their behavior is just really weird and dangerous. Hopefully laws are passed to punish those who drive while under the influence of weed.
OK U A FAKE RASTAMAN NO REAL RASTAFARIAN WOULD SAY SUCH DUMB SHIT ON GODS PLANT COME ON MAN DO SOME RESEARCH

If u had sense u réalise but u dunce like them ppl who patch the road. The amount of patch they use in Antigua self they could done well pave one entire road but all u concern about a grass when cavalier still on shelf causing diabetes and liver problems.
The way you write and communicate your ideas indeed makes me worried about the legalization of weed. There are many scientific studies showing long-term marijuana usage destroys the brain and reduces intellectual capacity. Don’t ignore the facts my brother.
Please stop looking for 1 percent and look for the 99%good it does u probably just love to oppose for oppose sake this was a good move by gastonthe best move in his administration……if this product is use in the right way they will have to close majority of medical benefits outlet

Will the new law make provision for harvesting the 4 trees and storing the harvest for rainy days ? Asking for a friend.
I think it’s a good idea …weed is a very good medicine ,it’s how people use it that makes it wrong that’s all but if we use it right we won’t have to use those pills that gives us more side affect than ever… thanks to the world Boss Gaston..big up ya self PM
