Jamaican / Canadian company has played pivotal role in the process
Jamaica Parliament has just given final approval today to legalize the growing, processing and export of medical marijuana
For Immediate Release:
The Government of Jamaica gave third and final reading to a bill
to legalize both the production of medical marijuana and the personal
consumption of marijuana. Timeless
Herbal Care Ltd., a Jamaican-Canadian company involved in the production and
export of medical marijuana, was instrumental in creating a bill that
establishes a framework for the production, use and export of Jamaican produced
international grade medical marijuana.
Speaking in Toronto, The Hon. Ernie Eves, former Premier of
the Province of Ontario, Canada and chairperson of Timeless Herbal Care Ltd.
said today that, “Jamaica is now uniquely positioned to become the medical
marijuana hub not just for the Caribbean and Canada but, for the world.”
The bill to legalize marijuana could well be the law of the land
in Jamaica within a week. The bill
was introduced to the House of Parliament by Senator Mark Golding, who is also Minister
of Justice in the Lower House, and as such the bill that was voted on already
has Senatorial approval. All that
is required now is Royal Assent from the Island’s Governor General.
According to Courtney Betty, President and CEO of Timeless Herbal
Care Ltd., “Our company is fully prepared to build an international global
brand for Jamaican medical marijuana by combining the best of science and
research with organic Jamaican marijuana of the highest quality almost
immediately. Our partners include the University of the West Indies,
the Charles Town Maroons, The Jamaica Epilepsy Society, the Ganja Growers
Association, BioRegeneration Integrated Medical Centre headed by Dr.
Janice Fisher, Roxy Distributors Ltd. and renowned Jamaica scientist and researcher
Dr. Lawrence Williams.”
Timeless Herbal Care Ltd. has played a leading role in
working with the Jamaican government to bring this
bill to the House. The company is committed to ensuring that Jamaica and
its people get the benefits which will derive from this new
industry.
“Timeless Herbal Care Ltd. is proud to be Jamaican and proud of
the many individuals who have sacrificed to preserve what will become
Jamaica’s most profitable industry,” continued Mr. Betty. “We pay
special recognition to industry, education and law enforcement officials who
were very instrumental in paving the way for Minister of Justice Mark Golding
to deliver this historic legislation.”
Jamaica’s Timeless Herbal Care combines
the best of science and herbs for the health and wellness of all people.
Timeless has created the Green and Gold Triangle with operations in Jamaica,
Israel and North America structured to immediately supply the growing
international demand for medical marijuana products.
