The Antigua and Barbuda Medicinal Cannabis Authority (MCA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Regis Burton as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Mr. Burton has been working with MCA for over 15 months and has proven to be a highly qualified and experienced individual within the Medicinal Cannabis industry and is well-suited for this important role.
This position has been vacant since October 2021, and Mr. Burton’s appointment is a significant step towards advancing the responsible management of cannabis in the country.
Mr. Burton has expressed his passion for public health and wellness, and a commitment to the economic empowerment of the locals, as well as the unification of the Caribbean region within the cannabis industry.
He emphasized the importance of systematically addressing the abuse and misuse of cannabis by youths, while harnessing the economic value of responsible cannabis use to improve the life and livelihood of the country.
“As the Chief Executive Officer of Antigua and Barbuda Medicinal Cannabis Authority, my top priorities will be to actively involve and engage local stakeholders in our decision-making processes and urgently implement a youth educational program,” said Mr. Burton.
“Local input and involvement are crucial to ensure that the ownership and benefits of the cannabis industry are shared by our communities, and that we address any concerns or issues effectively. We also need to work together to promote and educate the public on responsible cannabis use by adults, public health and wellness, and the economic empowerment opportunities available.”
Mr. Burton and the MCA team will be launching a local stakeholders conference for Antiguans and Barbudans in May 2023, titled “Waladli Cannabis Summit 2023”.
The public will be invited to register for this inaugural summit at the Office of MCA located on Friars Hill Road in the Jasmine Court Complex, Suite 21 or contact our office at 1 (268) 562 – 9729.
The MCA is confident that Mr. Regis Burton’s leadership will prioritize stakeholder engagement and ensure that their voices are heard.
We encourage all stakeholders to join us at the Waladli Cannabis Summit 2023 to share their perspectives, ideas, and concerns, as we work towards building a responsible and sustainable cannabis industry in Antigua and Barbuda.
With Mr. Regis Burton’s appointment and the upcoming Waladli Cannabis Summit 2023, Antigua and Barbuda Medicinal Cannabis Authority is taking significant steps towards promoting responsible cannabis management, public health, wellness, economic empowerment, and meaningful stakeholder involvement.

Regis did you smoke while attending school? It upsets me that the politicians and their children weren’t so easily exposed to cannabis while growing up but now they’re making it easily available for our youths.
Wake up Antiguan and Barbuda they don’t care about you and your children. If they destroy the brains 🧠 of our youths who will be there to challenge them. They will continue to protect their children and destroy yours so they can keep control within their family lineage.
Why should politicians care about you and your children when you don’t even care about you or your children? People have to want better and be willing to follow through with action instead of just lazily fantasizing about someone giving them their dreams.
Stop depending on people to spoon feed you and wipe your behind with paper. It’s best to take care of yourself.
Congrats brethren. take it to the next level
@tenman…your hypocrisy is not only glaring, your #Reptillian_Nature of the chameleon is very evident.
Please take us back to the discussions around Agriculture and the HEMP INDUSTRY, not but seven or eight years ago. You were vehemently opposed, to not only the advancement of the Agricultural Industry(your reason, lack of water), but when it came to the HEMP INDUSTRY, in particular the LEGALISATION aspect you had no idea, of the #Next_Level which the industry could take the region. Now, because the political party, the ABLP whose shit you’re responsible for cleaning up ABLP shit like MasterCEO of the Night Soil limousine, LLC, you have no problem with what others like myself were proposing, presenting and advocating for your support over a decade ago.
Go ahead, show your MO of personal attracts like a cornered rat or rabid animal. But, I dare you, to call me a liar.
The proofs of your flip_flopping is well documented and archived.
I know many bloggers consider you a bitch, a butch and a POS – Piece Of Shit, but my assessment of you is on a #Next_Level, of phucking with bitches like you.
#DPH.
