The Barbados Medicinal Cannabis Licensing Authority (BMCLA) has distanced itself from a private entity’s plan to hire a non-national as a master grower because it has been unable to find anyone here to do the job.The BMCLA has made it clear it had nothing to do with a notice published in the newspaper by the Business and Employment Centre located at Kensington Court, Fontabelle, St Michael.The notice did not identify the entity that the job placement and business support services centre placed the ad for, but claimed no suitable applicants could be found in Barbados to take up the position. “Having received no suitable application in reply to our advertisement for a Master Grower – cannabis, it is our intention to apply for a work permit for a non-national to fill the position,” the notice stated, adding that anyone who wanted to challenge that application should do so in writing to the Chief Immigration Officer.
