SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico \u2013 Alki David, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Swissx plans to start farming on 1000 acres in Puerto Rico, secured transactions to plant an entirety of 3,600 acres with a possible yield of $3.8 billion annually, after multiple meetings with local farmers and businesspersons.\n
Swissx has been invited by many new entities in the Caribbean to discuss partnerships. In San Juan, with an Antiguan company, David signed Swissx's first deal. Afterwards, the Swissx team surveyed farmland throughout Utuado by helicopter.\n id=\"mNCC\" language=\"javascript\">medianet_width='468';medianet_height= '60';medianet_crid='637422217'; id=\"mNSC\" src=\"http:\/\/contextual.media.net\/nmedianet.js?cid=8CUVV6306\" language=\"javascript\"> \n\n
\u201cWe came with a potential solution for an industry wiped out by hurricanes and betrayed by the US government." He added, "We left with more than double the amount of land to plant and powerful new friends. We have proof that our plan can flourish and help hard-hit farmers do more than get on their feet. They will get rich,\u201d David said.\n
The company\u2019s cooperative cultivation plans are fashioned after methods that have been working in Switzerland for hundreds of years. Partners receive free training, seed and supplies, share in the ownership of the plants and remain independent. The premier CBD manufacturer gave assurances that it will purchase all crops at open market value. Swissx has a worldwide distribution network in place and provides the highest quality CBD goods available, in flower and oil form.\n
Medical grade cannabis is Swissx's flagship product with low THC and high CBD so that anyone can savour the legal, therapeutic benefits anytime and everywhere (percentages vary but in the US Swissx CBD products test at less than 0.03 percent THC). It is Swiss craftsmanship for your soul. The CBD products are also available to experience at the Swissx Cannabis Club in Hollywood, CA.\n
The first CBD business to distribute on the grounds at Coachella (via drone) was Swissx. It is loved and used by Cheech and Chong\u2019s Tommy Chong, Chief Keef, Dave Navarro, Snoop Dogg and Keeping up With the Kardashians\u2019 Scott Disick. CBD oil has been shown to ease pain and anxiety connected with numerous ailments including MS, PTSD, cancer treatment side effects and more.\n
One of the farmers at the meetings at the Vanderbilt Hotel in San Juan was Victor Gonzalez of Lares. He left with the first bag of seeds on the island. According to Gonzalez, \u201cPeople have grown cannabis in the region for many years.\u201d Gonzalez added, \u201cBut now with Swissx behind us, we can maximize the potential of our land and hard work. And we can do it safely and securely.\u201d\n
Puerto Rico native, Pedro Irizarry is a Licensed master grower and SVP of Swissx Production. He stated the volcanic soil ideal for producing the highest quality, CBD-oriented hemp that the company developed originally in Gstaad, Switzerland at its headquarters.\n
High Times publisher and chief executive officer (CEO), Adam Levin accompanied the team on the company's jet. "Alki is a visionary and through his co-op model is illustrating how capitalism and cannabis can come together to benefit communities," Levin said.\n
David is scheduled to return to St Kitts and Nevis, September 23 for a court appearance on charges of possession of controlled drugs, importation of a controlled drug into the federation and possession with an intent to supply.\n
According the David, the massive haul of hemp seeds and cloned plants that were confiscated as evidence by the St Kitts and Nevis authorities, they will now have to take care of the plants until the court date, by which time, its likely cannabis will be legal.\n
\u201cPeople ask about the situation in St Kitts and Nevis, you know, my night as a jailbird.\u201d He added, \u201cHere\u2019s what I learned: Let politics take a back seat. The way forward is not through politics. It is through building businesses that can raise up whole economies. Build the business and the politics will fall into place. It has to,\u201d David said.
