The law on cannabis/ marijuana is clearly an issue of deep social significance to Caribbean peoples. The Commission is pleased and indeed honoured that it was able, through the wise decision of the CARICOM Heads of Government in 2014, to be the mechanism through which these important voices were heard, an expression of genuine democracy. It hopes that this Report will be an important developmental tool centred on human rights and democratic ideals consonant with the sustainable development goals (SDGs) that CARICOM has embraced enthusiastically and that it will bring meaningful change to Caribbean peoples.
