The Jersey Cannabis Advisory Board has appointed UK barrister, Sarah Clover as its new Chairperson.
The independent organisation brings together businesses and other stakeholders from the regulated cannabis industry to develop the sector and its regulation. The Board has an active lobbying and ambassadorial role to promote authorised cannabis businesses in Jersey and ensure quality and standards.
Jersey aspires to replicate its reputation in the financial sector to be a global leader in the regulated cannabis industry; attracting pharmaceutical and development partners to work alongside the cultivation and production experts already on the island, driving further investment and employment.
Sarah Clover (pictured), a barrister at Kings Chambers who specialises in the regulation of cannabis farming and production, said: “I am delighted to be joining JCAB as Chair at this exciting time for the Jersey cannabis sector. JCAB has already made important contributions to the regulation of medical cannabis in Jersey, and is set to continue to work closely with Government departments to build on that early success.
“JCAB is also very active in promoting Jersey as a world leading centre for the development of the cannabis sector, which will be an excellent and timely boost for the island’s economy. With effective coordination, cannabis businesses and the regulators can work side by side to ensure Jersey’s reputation as a centre of quality and high standards. Jersey has a number of advantages in this sector and the future is looking very bright indeed.”
