The Medicinal Cannabis Authority (MCA) has issued a public statement to address what it describes as inaccurate commentary circulating in the wake of a recent law enforcement operation targeting unauthorized cannabis cultivation in Pares Village.
The MCA says the statement is intended to clarify its position and to help the public better understand the legal framework governing cannabis use in Antigua and Barbuda, particularly as it relates to Sacramental Cannabis Authorization.
The Authority indicated that the public commentary prompted by the enforcement operation contained misconceptions about what is and is not permitted under current legislation. The MCA has moved to correct the record and outline the proper channels through which individuals and organizations may seek authorization for cannabis-related activities under the law.
Full details of the MCA's clarification, including the specific provisions of the legal framework surrounding Sacramental Cannabis Authorization, were included in the Authority's release.
