United Cannabis association with CRD was established after the nod by Jamaica’s Cabinet and Parliament of a modification to the Dangerous Drugs Act, offering for the decriminalization of the grow, production, possession and utilization of cannabis for therapeutic, scientific and medical purposes within the nation.
Cannabinoid R&D Company Limited was established by a small group of cannabis advocates in Jamaica, with the cooperation of the firm, who perceived that it was high time for freeing up the weed. Their demands were further supported by the government approving legislation to establish industrial hemp and medical marijuana industries in Jamaica. The unit salutes the farmers and their sacrifices, as they have paid the price of incarceration, harassment and the parting from loved ones. CRD management added that it is the spirit, hope, aspirations and dreams of these people that is found in the dream and reason for CRD today.
