Jamaican officials have announced a major leadership realignment at the country’s Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA), pledging that the shake up, along with the forthcoming release of long-promised export regulations, are the final steps ahead of its pivot into global cannabis exports.
On Tuesday, Audley Shaw, the Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, announced that LeVaughn Flynn would be appointed as Chair of the Cannabis Licensing Authority’s Board of Directors. The Board manages the CLA, which oversees all industry regulation, from the establishment of policies and procedures to the issuance of licenses.

After successfully finishing internship at the Department for Transport (DfT), I knew I wanted to work within the Civil Service. I made it my quest to work there and be one of the 16% of autistic people in full-time employment. After the internship I returned to Sixth Form, where it did not go unnoticed how much I had grown in confidence and determination.
The following year I was invited back to the programme to give a speech to the 2019 interns, at the opening ceremony of the internship. It was great to be back and I got lots of positive feedback from the Autism Exchange, people at the Civil Service and the interns. That gave me so much ambition, confidence and determination to make sure that I found a role for myself within the Civil Service.
