Why We Exist

Built with communities,
not around them

As Dominica moves toward a regulated cannabis framework, local communities, traditional growers, entrepreneurs, and future operators need a collective voice and a structured path to participation.

We exist to make sure the emerging industry is shaped not only by capital, but by culture, community, and local ownership.

"Dominica's cannabis industry should be built with local people, not around them."
— WCA Core Belief
01

Association Before Commerce

Civil society representation establishes legitimacy before commercial structures are built.

02

Cooperative as Next Step

A future member-owned economic vehicle for production, services, and market access.

03

Data as Negotiating Power

We map members, land, skills, and needs. Structure creates leverage.

04

Culture Must Be Protected

Rastafari traditions, natural healers, and cultivators must be recognized in any regulatory framework.

Our Role

Six pillars of responsible sector-building

01 / Representation

Voice of the Sector

We represent local stakeholders before government, the Cannabis Authority, investors, regional agencies, and international partners.

02 / Education

Knowledge & Readiness

Training on licensing, compliance, responsible cultivation, transformation standards, and business preparation.

03 / Advocacy

Policy that Protects

Recommendations to protect small producers, Rastafari, natural healers, women, youth, and Dominican ownership.

04 / Mapping

Sector Intelligence

A structured database of members, land, skills, needs, and priorities. Without data, there is no negotiating power.

05 / Standards

Code of Conduct

Voluntary standards covering responsible cultivation, environmental protection, transparency, and collaboration.

06 / Cooperative

Foundation for Growth

Identifying members ready to participate and defining the economic model for the future cooperative.
