Time for Guyana to say yes to hemp

Dear Editor,

The Global Potential for Industrial Hemp is lucrative and this is the time that President Granger must pay attention and remove the barriers for the establishment of an Industrial Hemp Industry in the country.

The fact that industrial hemp is still illegal in Guyana is just shocking. It’s bizarre. Uses of industrial Hemp are  vast and impressive and unfortunately under recognized in the country.

If Guyana goes with Industrial Hemp, we would be replacing those products with a solution that will solve significant environmental and economic issues that are facing humanity now.

Hemp has been utilized for thousands of years and is now on the comeback trail after prohibition in the USA and other countries and it’s Guyana’s time to become a global leader in the industrial hemp Industry.

Come on President Granger Act Now

Yours faithfully,

Petal Saunders
