Jamaican Ganja Licensing 2016

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 090

Jamaica's post-2015 cannabis reform licensing framework which allowed cultivation licenses for defined plots, herb houses for retail, and importantly did not limit THC content the way other countries' programs did.

The Jamaican government announced regulations that included cultivator licenses, herb house retail licenses, and research permits. Jamaica would not limit THC content unlike many other jurisdictions. The 2-ounce possession limit was allowed, and traditional Rastafarian use was protected. The Jamaican model was seen as potentially more progressive than North American approaches, though concerns about foreign corporate interests taking over from local ganja farmers were raised.
