WhereDaily News: Time for the Medicine: Micronesia Launching Medical Marijuana Program to Help Economy and Tourism
AGANA, GUAM--(Marketwired - July 17, 2015) - "Going Green" no longer applies to the implementation of environmentally-conscious construction efforts exclusively. Across the US, medical marijuana laws have made cannabis available for the treatment of an assortment of health conditions. Several states, Washington and Colorado, and Alaska have legalized the recreational use of cannabis. Across the Pacific, US territories in Micronesia are beginning to take similar steps in consideration of marijuana legalization; Federated States of Micronesia will be the first to pursue this economic game changer.
In 2013, Cary Peterson, a Senate lobbyist and recently appointed Chairman of the Eurasia-America Development Program (EADP), began working in diplomacy for Albania (nicknamed Europe's cannabis capitol) about the implementation of medical marijuana-freedoms in US territories and Cuba. Last year, while speaking to delegates of the United Nations, Peterson made an intervention statement about the difficulties of creating new development for education, agriculture, and tourism in small island nations as Micronesia.
