Dominican, Dr Machel Emanuel, continues to be a significant contributor to the development of the cannabis industry in the region.
The Cannabis Technical Committee in Jamaica, of which Dr Emanuel is the Vice Chair, was adjudged the 2019 Technical Committee of the Year at the recent staging of the Bureau of Standards Jamaica’s Appreciation Ceremony for Technical Committee (TC) members. The Cannabis Technical Committee has completed and submitted draft standards for processing and handling of cannabis for medical, scientific and therapeutic use and for packaging and labelling of consumer resin medical cannabis products. The development of these standards formalizes the production of cannabis for specific uses, and will propel Jamaica onto the world stage with a product that has long been linked to that Caribbean country. These standards are developed to protect public health and safety while maintaining sound scientific best practices during the production, processing and distribution of cannabis and its derivatives. According to Dr Emanuel, the development of standards for cannabis is critical for Jamaica and the Caribbean, “in order to maintain its competitive advantage and reputation for producing a high-quality product that possesses global demand and credibility".
