Barbados has officially opened its first medicinal cannabis dispensary, marking a significant milestone in the development of the industry.
Island Therapeutics Inc. received the send-off on Friday evening at a ceremony at its Worthing, Christ Church location, attended by a cross-section of society, including government ministers and members of the medical, academic and Rastafarian communities.
Co-owner Kevin Hudson described the occasion as a proud moment for both his team and the country.
“Our cannabis is locally grown and dispensed right here from seed to retail with care and purpose at every stage. We built this space with patients in mind, a space where wellness meets professionalism and where each person who walks through our doors is met with respect, knowledge and compassion.
