Bahamas Launches Medicinal Cannabis Program

The Bahamas is set to launch its medicinal cannabis industry before June’s end, with a new licensing system powered by US tech giant Metrc to ensure full supply chain oversight. After a delay caused by BioTrack’s acquisition, officials are now confident with Metrc’s platform, which tracks every plant from farm to sale using barcodes and random testing. A major public education campaign will begin with a press conference to clarify who can participate, where businesses can operate, and how to apply — all aimed at boosting awareness ahead of the rollout. The Ministry of Health, backed by other government agencies and local banks, is leading the effort, while the contract cost and budget details will be announced soon by the Minister of Health. The timing was delayed until after the election to avoid handing a new government an inherited framework — but with no change in administration, the original plan is now moving forward.
