Greenhouse Café made history in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines again by hosting the first-ever 420 Cannabis Fair on April 20 at Coconut Grove.
The Greenhouse Café first made history in St. Vincent on Friday, May 6, 2022, when it opened its doors at Coconut Grove in Ratho Mill as the first cannabis consumption lounge in the Eastern Caribbean.
On April 20, 2022, nearly a year later, Greenhouse Café held a 420 Cannabis Fair to celebrate the month of April which is widely known as the month of National Cannabis Awareness.
The café was able to open its operations after St Vincent and the Grenadines’ Parliament passed the SVG Medicinal Cannabis Industry Act in 2018 allowing for, among other things, the purchase of medicinal cannabis under a number of guidelines and restrictions.
The cafe is open to any member of the public who is a patient for cannabis consumption.
The Greenhouse Café said in a press release that 420 is an international cultural holiday celebrating the consumption and legalization of cannabis.
It said that multiple stakeholders from all the areas of the cannabis industry in St Vincent were present at the historic April 20 Cannabis Fair.
The attendees included “traditional farmers, various cultivation companies, the Medicinal Cannabis Authority, doctors, pharmacists and dispensary owners, fertilizer companies, the local analytical laboratory, artisans, and artists,” the Greenhouse Café stated in the release.
Greenhouse Café said it is very thankful to their patrons and participants for being part of another historic page of the cannabis industry in St Vincent.
St Vincent and the Grenadines passed the SVG Medicinal Cannabis Industry Act in 2018. In order to purchase medicinal cannabis, you must:
– Qualify for at least one of the 20 medical conditions recognized by the Medicinal Cannabis Authority (MCA).
