Barbados holds first International Cannabis Conference

The Barbados Medicinal Cannabis Licensing Authority (BMCLA), the government's regulatory body for the medicinal cannabis industry in Barbados, recently held its first international cannabis conference - a groundbreaking event for the country's nascent regulated cannabis sector.
