Cannabis, TT’s next cash crop

TT can be great again with our youths studying and working for an honest living instead of working in the South American drug trade. We have covered job creation, agriculture, tourism, research so our exports will boom once again because at US$50 a barrel, black gold is dead. Therefore with the availability of production land, labour, capital and entrepreneurship, we can be exporting cannabis at US$10 a gram, which is what the Rastas call “the healing of the nation.” Oil, sugar, peppers, aluminium production are old. Let us embrace new highs as a mature nation as we return to the soil and not the oil.
