With the Antigua and Barbuda Cannabis Festival just weeks away, the head of the Medicinal Cannabis Authority (MCA) is using the lead-up period to address what he identifies as the industry's most pressing need — public education.
According to Antigua Observer, Regis Burton, Chief Executive Officer of the Medicinal Cannabis Authority of Antigua and Barbuda, outlined the full scope of the authority's work and the medicinal cannabis industry as part of a broader effort to inform the public ahead of the upcoming festival.
Burton's push reflects a recognition that public understanding of the regulated medicinal cannabis sector remains limited, and that greater awareness is essential to the industry's development in Antigua and Barbuda.
The Cannabis Festival is expected to serve as a key platform for that outreach, bringing together stakeholders, industry figures, and members of the public in the lead-up to the event.
