Kaya Farms, home to Jamaica's first legal medical cannabis dispensary, will today celebrate its grand opening at Drax Hall, St Ann with an Official ribbon-cutting and concert featuring some of Jamaica's favourite reggae artistes.
“It has been an arduous journey for all involved in making this dream a reality. We cannot forget the Indians who brought the plant, the Rastafarians that fought to advocate it, University of Technology, Government officials on both sides and corporate Jamaica that have all helped to steer this through the political landscape. It is an exciting step for me and the country as we move forward to build an industry which I am sure that we be side by side the Canadians, British and the United States. I'm sure as Jamaican farmers we can compete internationally as ganja becomes a commodity,” said chairman and chief ganja officer, Balram Vaswani.
Kaya said its goal is to make Jamaica the flagship of the global wellness tourism industry and become the new symbol of the island's roots and lifestyle.
