The last I came across news on Belize and its cannabis legalization initiatives was in 2021 at the height of the fake pandemic Covid. In February 2021, Breaking News Belize reported that marijuana legalization discussions were heating in the first virtual town hall of the government, with plans to complete regulations in two months. The next I heard was that an amendment had been introduced in the House of Representatives in July 2021 by the Minister of New Growth Industries. The amendment sought to establish regulations for businesses in the cannabis industry. Licensing and registration with oversight from a Commission would allow persons to cultivate, process, distribute and deliver cannabis across the country for adult use.
Belize is a beautiful country, as I have heard, with tourism being one of its major industries. The tropical climate of Belize will surely produce good quality cannabis that as a sustainable renewable crop can spawn multiple sustainable industries through sustainable economics, provide vast benefits in combating climate change and bringing precious revenue to the country which I assume is under threat from global warming and rising sea levels, besides the threat of synthetic drugs and alcohol.
The fake pandemic Covid, created by the industries opposed to cannabis, may have put the pause button on the cannabis legalization initiatives of many nations, and may have taken humanity a few steps backwards in its battle against global warming, specifically with the flooding of the world with synthetic pharmaceutical drugs and non-biodegradable petrochemical based plastics used for packaging synthetic medicines, besides masks, sanitizers, PPE kits, and so on...Nations like Belize, who are directly in the line of impacts of climate change, must push for complete legalization of cannabis as it is one of the last hopes to save humanity from human induced climate catastrophe, especially the most vulnerable nations and peoples of the world, besides the millions of other life forms that suffer for the folly of the few.
