<p>Under a recent agreement, Maroons in
Accompong have begun cultivation of cannabis for medicinal use.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cultivation of the herb is now underway in the
picturesque St. Elizabeth town. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Being spearheaded under the Alternative
Development Project, the initiative is being implemented as a strategy to
transition traditional cannabis farmers from an illicit framework into the
regulated environment, which is currently the purview of the Cannabis Licensing
Authority (CLA). </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Under the agreement, the Accompong Town Maroons, Timeless Herbal Care, and the CLA are working to ascertain the best practices within the regulated environment for the cultivation and processing of cannabis for medicinal use.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The project aims to promote sustainable
development and poverty eradication, as well as to ensure that the Dangerous
Drugs (Amendment) Act of 2015 is enforced through the protection of the human
rights for all citizens including traditional ganja farmers. </p>
