Today’s announcement that the Government of Jamaica has introduced a bill to legalize  both the production of medical marijuana and the personal consumption of marijuana  is being seen as a positive economic and medical move by the Jamaican  government.  Timeless Herbal Care, a Jamaican Canadian company involved in the production and export of medical marijuana, this morning congratulated the Government of Jamaica for creating a framework for international standard medical marijuana trade in Jamaica. 
Speaking in Toronto, 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 for the world.”

Timeless Herbal Care Ltd. has  played a leading role in working with Prime Minister Portia Simpson’s People’s National Party  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 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.”
