Buy ganja Suva

Published daily by the Lowy Institute. The tourists are gone, and Covid has crippled the economy. A well-regulated marijuana industry might not be a bad idea. Admittedly there were a few baked hippies, but the cooking was good. Fiji has taken an almighty hit. Foreign tourists have vanished, all non-essential businesses have been forced to close, and the much mooted Pacific travel bubble is likely to be off the cards for the immediate future. With national debt levels soaring , a nasty storm is brewing. Fiji needs to diversify its economy away from a reliance on tourism. Many people complained that calls to the food-ration hotline went unanswered, or the deliveries never arrived, while the need for Fijians to provide tax details in order to claim the relief payments meant those in the informal sector were all but left behind. A cannabis industry in Fiji would not be limited to growing the crop. A whole value-add supply chain could be created. But of course the leaf is grown. One of my favourite news pieces from was about villagers shooting down police drones with spear guns to hide their marijuana plantations on Kadavu, an island south of Suva. Rebooting the agricultural sector is an area the Fijian government has identified as one which could be strengthened. Fiji has a solid history of agricultural exports. More recently, yaqona kava has been targeted as a growth opportunity in the sector, due to its widespread use in the region for relaxation and stress relief. Unfortunately, yaqona takes several years before it can be harvested. Like other agricultural products, it is also exposed to heightened risks of environmental damage, for example cyclones. As the name suggests, cannabis is a resilient crop and capable of harvesting after three months. Just look at Fiji Water. The idea of a marijuana industry in Fiji is not new. The idea was debated most recently in March at a Nadi Chamber of Commerce roundtable. The government was adamant in response it has no plans to legalise marijuana. Fiji could do what other countries have done, legalising marijuana for medicinal and hemp fibre production, while banning recreational use. Such a move would follow similar regulation in countries including Malawi , Lesotho and Uganda , as well as Thailand in Southeast Asia, among others. A permit system could be created for growing marijuana on designated islands in Fiji. This could all be carried out in Fiji and create jobs for Fijians. There will be concern about any partial legalisation leading to greater recreational use of cannabis among the local population. Those partial to the saba are still likely to partake, whether it is legal or not. These are the types of risks the government should be able to manage with responsible regulation and enforcement. Research and a feasibility study should be first undertaken to determine the viability and opportunity that a cannabis industry could present. From there, a better judgement can be made about what would be required to regulate it. And just maybe the volatility of the pandemic could be the catalyst for Fiji to innovatively diversify the economy and generate a new export market to its advantage. Samantha Cook.
