For Immediate Release

Toronto, Canada. September 12, 2017 …Timeless Herbal Care (Timeless) a leading Jamaican Nutraceutical /Pharmaceutical company has signed a historical agreement with the Government of Jamaica to grow herbal plants including medical marijuana on previously mined bauxite lands.  The agreement paves the way for Timeless and the Jamaica Bauxite Institute to restore the mined out territory to the benefit of the local community.

The signing late last week in Kingston Jamaica, was hailed by the Minister of Mines, the Honourable Mike Henry, as the fulfillment of his vision to restore the productivity of these lands to the benefit of grassroots communities who now have a chance to control their own destiny. “Timeless Herbal Care has established itself as a company committed to create value added products from Jamaican herbs including our very valuable Jamaican ganja,” said Minister Henry. “Jamaica is positioned to be a leader in medical marijuana and this is a major step in a true public private partnership!”

Minister Henry noted that the farmers will be taught new skills, so that they can produce the plants to internationally accepted standards. The plants to be cultivated are guinea hen weed, moringa, black castor bean, and medical cannabis.

Also speaking the signing ceremony was the Minister of Culture Olivia Babsy Grange who highlighted how Jamaican culture and branding will play a key role in bringing medical marijuana products to  the world. According to Minister Grange “our musical icons such as Bob Marley and Peter Tosh were visionaries of the healing power of the herb and we are committed to make their vision a reality bringing health and wellness to the world.”

Timeless President and CEO Courtney Betty expressed his joy at reaching this significant agreement with the Government of Jamaica.  According to Mr. Betty; “four years ago Timeless began with a dream of establishing a legal and regulatory framework to make Jamaica the medical marijuana hub of the world.  Having already established the only certified facility for growing medical marijuana in the Caribbean we look forward to bringing our years of experience and knowledge to transform local communities.’”

Timeless also unveiled its partnership with Jamaica’s University of Technology.  The university has created a research unit headed by Dr. Lawrence Williams who was recently awarded a United States patent related to medical marijuana. Timeless is committed to developing true medical products with  proven safety and efficacy based on international medical and pharmaceutical standards.
