Ganja goodies

-

Smoothies, shakes, cookies, cupcakes, gummy bears, oils, lotions, soaps, rum, water, wine, female genital lubricant, fertiliser and many more, as well as all sorts of hemp material, hemp board and hempcrete were readily accessible for viewing and examinatio­n. These were sampled and purchased by local and internatio­nal invitees.

It was a very mature crowd, cannabis edibles were consumed and the event was incident and trouble free. There was a genuine appreciati­on for what Jamaica truly has to offer to the rest of the world, which is a major step in the right direction for Jamaica’s cannabis and hemp industries.

SPEAKER IMPRESSED

The GGPAJ’s guest speaker, world-renowned cannabis investor, Mr Anton Mattadeen,

appeared to be very impressed with the variety, quality, healthines­s, wholesomen­ess and creativity of the products that were present on display.

The Jamaica Stock Exchange is now more enthused and excited about the industry and increasing Jamaica’s share. They were also pleased with what they experience­d first-hand.

“Ganja users are very responsibl­e, calm and peaceful people,” a tourist outlined when being interviewe­d by Scarce Commodity TV.

The overall responses from everyone, including these tourists, the Rastafaria­n community, politician­s, investors, ganja growers and producers, was nothing less than excellent and first class. It was fun as we continue to prepare the solid foundation necessary to compete in a global marketplac­e. The overseas patrons explained the importance of adding structure, shape and form to the industry if Jamaica wants to compete fulsomely in the global marketplac­e.
