Rare Jamaican cannabis strains are seeding a medical marijuana takeover in Canada
Toronto-based Jamaican Medical Cannabis Collective has signed contracts to provide Jamaican cannabis to three Canadian LPs and letters of intent to supply seven more

With the support of the Jamaican government and the farmer’s collective they partner with on the island nation, the Jamaican Medical Cannabis Collective (JMCC) has signed contracts to provide Jamaican cannabis to three Canadian LPs and letters of intent to supply seven more. All of these plans are pending Health Canada approval, of course, but there are a lot of people invested in making it happen, and for good reason. Canada's medical marijuana program may suffer supply issues when the recreational system opens up this summer. Legislation that allows importation of cannabis from other countries may end up being crucial to keeping supplies available for Canada’s 269,000-plus medical marijuana users.
