National Cannabis Symposium

The Symposium will engage national, regional and international stakeholders to discuss the framework for the establishment of a regulated and sustainable medicinal cannabis industry in Dominica.

Participants will focus on advancing the national dialogue around cannabis policy, economic potential, licensing and regulation, traditional use, sustainable cultivation and international investment. The overarching goal is to transition cannabis from the informal market into a well-regulated, inclusive and economically viable sector that contributes to agricultural diversification and job creation.

The National Cannabis Symposium will feature plenary sessions with regional experts, policymakers and researchers to address key policy, regulatory and economic issues. Among the featured presenters are Dominican-born Dr. Machel Emmanuel, a botanist and leading cannabis researcher at UWI Mona, and Brendon Roberts, author of Cannabis Development.
