Letter of the Day | Jamaica’s cannabis industry needs realism, not hype
THE EDITOR, Madam: Jamaica’s cannabis industry deserves serious discussion, not easy slogans. Too often, we speak as if domestic reform automatically created wide export access. It did not. Jamaica has built a legal framework through the Cannabis Licensing Authority for medical, therapeutic, and scientific purposes. That is an important step. But a local licence is only the first gate. Export depends on something Jamaica cannot control alone: whether the receiving country is prepared to authorise the shipment under its own laws.
