Jamaica is planning to open cannabis ‘ATMs’ in its airports – allowing tourists the chance to get hold of weed as soon as they arrive in the country.The country is looking at ways to cash in on the drug after it was decriminalized last February.
The Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA) has now started to look at ways to introduce these dedicated desks where visitors can pick up a license for the ‘good herb’.
It is currently legal to carry up to two ounces of weed in Jamaica, although police do still have the power to issue anyone in possession with a ticket and a J$500 (£2.98) fine.
The CLA’s medical committee chairman Dr Winston De La Haye said: “We’ve had our first meeting, and my thinking is that we’d need a few weeks to turn out an appropriate policy document.”
Speaking at an vent hosted by Jamaican publication Gleamer on Jamaica’s burgeoning ganja industry he said the country needs to move quickly to plug any potential gap in proper regulations for that.
