Rastafarians in St. Vincent Launch Cannabis Farms Aimed at Growing Medical Industry

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • On Golba Hill, St. Vincent, Rastafarian farmers, like Bobbis Matthews, are cultivating premium marijuana, symbolizing a significant shift in local agricultural practices.
  • Once facing harsh penalties and eradication efforts from US-backed operations, these farmers now benefit from government support and legal acknowledgement of cannabis.
  • Since 2018, legislation has allowed for the decriminalization of cannabis and the establishment of medical cannabis industries, allowing farmers to gain licenses and substantiate their livelihoods.
  • While a lucrative industry is emerging, challenges remain, including global competition and natural disasters like the 2021 volcanic eruption that devastated local agriculture.
  • Farmers are advised to focus on regional markets before targeting international sales, ensuring local industries can thrive amidst economic obstacles.
