00:01Nazma Muller, a long-standing activist for the legalization of marijuana, staged a protest outside the Red House with a
00:08handful of supporters holding the government to our platform promise.
00:12The United National Congress promised the population that they would introduce a medical cannabis industry. They themselves said it would
00:23be worth millions. It is indeed worth millions of dollars, billions in some instances. It is doing very well in
00:33all the countries that legalized or decriminalized marijuana.
00:38During the year passed, Muller and others waited for the promise to materialize. And during that year, the United States
00:46has reclassified cannabis.
00:48It is in the category of Tylenol that has codeine. This is a momentous occasion. The very same country that
00:55introduced prohibition and started the UN Convention against cannabis has admitted that it is not a highly dangerous drug.
01:04It also offers, according to Muller, a chance to reintroduce workers sent on the breadline to the labor market.
01:13So we are waiting on the Prime Minister to deliver on her promise to set up a medical marijuana industry.
01:21The Rastafari have been waiting six years since decriminalization for their sacramental license.
01:26We are calling actually for legalization. The economic status of the country right now, the unemployment rate demands that the
01:35Prime Minister deliver on her promise to low skilled workers, workers who were laid off from CPAP, from URP.
