The Barbados Medicinal Cannabis Licensing Authority (BMCLA) today signed two memoranda of understanding with two of its strategic partners to solidify collaborative efforts to grow the medicinal cannabis industry.
Officials of the BMCLA signed agreements with the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology (SJPI) and the Barbados Drug Service, which will facilitate training and a collaborative approach to doing business.
Acting Chief Executive Officer of the BMCLA Senator Shanika Roberts-Odle said the MOU with the SJPI will allow for that institution to provide formal training, hopefully starting in September.
The MOU with the Barbados Drug Service spells out the collaborative responsibility between the two entities, including inspections, transport of products, and waste disposal.
The signing took place at the SJPI in Wildey, St Michael. (MM)
