Cannabis Concerns ‘Rolled’ Out by Tourism Minister

Several other concerns were also tackled concerning the potential of the green market. Bartlett in his presentation said the Ministry of Investment and Commerce continues to prioritize the development of competitive industries.

He further noted only two import authorizations were granted for marketing purposes.  Watch the report:
