Ganja: Discovering the future

[Sir X]

Despite cannabis being an integral part of the Jamaican identity, just five years ago local laws did not reflect the realities of its use in the country. However, this changed after the decriminalisation of cannabis in 2015 which was initiated by then Member of Parliament Raymond Pryce.

In 2013, Pryce drafted and tabled the motion calling for the decriminalisation of the possession of small quantities of cannabis for personal, religious and recreational use as well as for the purposes of medicinal and academic research. Now, what are Pryce's present thoughts looking back to 2013?

An area where Jamaica should be leading given our long association with ganja...

With cannabis experiencing tremendous growth in overseas markets, the same cannot be said for Jamaica, which is significantly behind market leaders such as Israel, Uruguay, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

Pryce said Jamaica fails in this aspect due to “the absence of the enabling environment for the establishment of a profitable, legitimate cannabis-based industry, as well as the absence of a clear leader at the policy level who will take on the responsibility to detail the pathway and set objectives and measurable targets for the establishment of the enabling environment”.

Kaya Aiming For Seven Stores • TSX Listing For September


Kaya Inc will open a second medical ganja cafe in Falmouth next month, around the same time it expects to become a publicly listed company trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX.

The Jamaican outfit founded by businessman and ganja researcher Balram Vaswani has already taken on a Canadian partner, which has promised backing for the company.

Kaya, which launched its first cafe and dispensary in Ocho Rios in March - becoming the first to market in the process - aims to grow to seven cafes within two years.

The first cafe, plus a ganja farm to supply it, cost $76 million. The second store is a $19 million investment in Falmouth, where the company aims to leverage business from the tourists that pass through the popular cruise port there. That and future dispensaries will also be fed by the St Ann farm.
