Tolexander: Possible, because the land supports the cultivation than other zones.

ujchief: Lol @folks trying so hard to see the silver lining in this dark cloud; this report came from the boss of NDLEA, not from the minister of Agriculture

geeez:
You're right

The SW has the largest expanse of arable land and farms after the middle belt

So if only 5% of the SW farms are used to cultivate the contraband, it would still be higher than many other zones where 10-15% of farms are used

Tolexander: who are you refering to?
Come out straight!

ujchief:

I'm referring to the boss of NDLEA and not the minister of Agriculture

Btw, I'm straight! As straight as a happy dckkk (seun, 2012)

nnenna.1:



Seun said that

Tolexander: seun said that?

ujchief:



Yes he did! Although he replaced the 'dckk' word with 'joystick'.

Btw, why are you guys surprised he said that? He's just as human as you and I; not a stereo-typed computer geek with zero social life.

Now, back to the cannabis; we need to rename the weed from 'igbo' to 'yoruba', what do you think??

Tolexander: not surprised cos he said so but only suprised how he always censor the word.
!

Tolexander:
Na yoruba dey cultivate am, na igbo dey take am, hence the name!

Jakumo: If marijuana cultivation is simply legalized in Nigeria, as has been done in many states in the USA, enormous revenue will accrue to government coffers, if the harvest is taxed just as is being done in California, Oregon and Wahington states right now.

Former American President Bill Clinton, and current President Barak Obama, both smoked marijuana COPIOUSLY in their youth, before rising to the pinnacle of political power as two of America's greatest leaders.

Obviously there has been a lot of mis-information about weed, but the fact remains that there has never been ONE single human death that has been attributed to marijuana overdose, throughout recorded history. The same cannot be said for alcohol, which annaully kills THOUSANDS of drinkers worldwide from liver cirrosis, overdose toxicity and a host of other medcial consequences incurred by excessive consumption of alcohol.

Legalize it, yeah, and tax it.

zameen:
What of its effect on the brain, the psychotic illnesses result from the use of Marijuana?

Jakumo:

It is true studies do prove that marijuana OR ALCOHOL useage could have negative consequences for individuals already prone to mental illness, Zameen, but for every unstable person who was pushed over the edge from smoking weed, there are just thousands of alcohol addicts who succumbed to liver cirrosis or alcohol poisoning, innocent family members killed as collateral damage in car wrecks caused by drunk drivers, and numerous victims of violent acts carried out by drunk people.

The negative medical consequences that exist for users of marijuana pale in comparison to the MASS DEATH caused YEARLY by alcoholics drinking themselves to death slowly or quickly, while also killing others through felony aggression or traffic accidents, while drunk. Conversely in North America and Europe today, medical patients suffering from myriad ailments ranging from cancer and diabetes to arthritis owe their very lives to the LEGALLY prescribed marijuana that they consume to alleviate otherwise overpowering symptoms of their conditions.

Show me one person on planet Earth who can produce a medical doctor's prescription card for whisky, wine or gin, and I will show you a liar, or at best a forger with a sense of humor. On the other side of the coin, medically prescribed marijuana today keeps alive tens of thousands of Americans, such that industrialized cultivation of the crop now generates multi-million dollar fortunes from which state governments reap huge tax dividends.

If there is a need to ban another widely used poison, as the price of legalizing marijuana, then let CIGARETTES and ALL nicotine-containing substances be outlawed, with TEN YEARS HARD LABOR for any person found smoking a cigarette in public. Yes sir. Ban the sale, possession and growing of tobbacco, and the world will be a FAR healthier place than it is now. Unike alcohol that can have token health benefits in MODERATE does, the medical or medicinal benefits of cigarettes are absolutely ZERO, and any society that declares tobacco use ILLEGAL would save billions of dollars in health-care costs, by eliminating that major killer of cigarette addicts worldwide.

Legalize it Johnny B. Goode, and let dem taaaax it
Legalize it, Yeaaah, we know Johnny-mon like it.

Legalize it Johniee, so Patience she don't need to hide it.
Legalize it Yeaaah, and ban that Babylon nicotine.

Jakumo: When the cultivation of medicinal marijuana is legalized in Nigeria, a good many of the finger-pointers today heaping scorn on South West Nigeria will join the stampede of emergency farmers seeking arable land in Yoruba land, in the hopes of exploting the lucrative market in Ekiti Golden Bud, Ondo Haze, Abeokuta Train-Wreck, Lagos Lobotomy, Shomolu Super Skunk, Ajegunle Amnesia, and other soon-to-be legendary brand names of connoisseur-grade marijuana.

In the meantime, watch out for the folks who are most vocal in their condemnation of marijuana as a medicinal or recreational drug, for a good many of them do secretly fire up that wild-wood-weed the minute the coast is clear, even as they chastise other users in public discussions. Y'all ain't foolin' nobody ha ha ha.

Okoro2015: This fairly explains the large presence of ganja motivated professors from that side.
