Free National Movement leader Michael Pintard is disappointed that the government has not prioritized regulating the use of medicinal cannabis. The move, he said, would open the door to a new industry in the country.
During a press conference, Mr. Pintard addressed the issue of the government’s delay in bringing cannabis legislation to Parliament.
Mr. Pintard said he was concerned that the government, having taken a position while in opposition on this matter, seemed to be having difficulties going through the pieces of legislation that were already left in place, saying: “We are uncertain when it will come.”
He added that in stating this piece of legislation should be a priority, especially because people who have been convicted of possession of small quantities of cannabis should not continue to have criminal records.
