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.
