As a matter of fact, the winners in the edibles and drink sections were selected based on their ability to display an approach to display in line with internatio­nal standards, as Scarce Commodity strives to put Jamaica at the forefront of the global neutraceut­ic, therapeuti­c, medical, psychologi­cal, psychiatri­c cannabis industries.
