Marijuana Should Be Legal - Seun Kuti by nochildsplay(m): 10:23pm On Sep 01, 2015 |
[b] Afro beat musician, Seun Kuti in a recent interview with The Nation said said that the Nigerian government was ill advised to ban the use of marijuana, believing that the decision is a carryover of colonial law. Seun who is also Afrobeat founder Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s son said: “There are doctors and scientists who believe that marijuana should be legalised. There are also lawyers, judges, and politicians who believe that the war on drugs is a false war. That is actually a war on the poor people all over the world, because poor people and rich people use drugs to be sane. But you will find that here, people are in jail more for drug use.” Seun Kuti in a recent interview with The Nation said said that the Nigerian government was ill advised to ban the use of marijuana, believing that the decision is a carryover of colonial law. Seun who is also Afrobeat founder Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s son said: “There are doctors and scientists who believe that marijuana should be legalised.

That is actually a war on the poor people all over the world, because poor people and rich people use drugs to be sane. But you will find that here, people are in jail more for drug use.” Going further, he explained: “We as Africans had no reason to ban marijuana. It was done out of the U.S. lobby, forcing our governments to ban the drug. I don’t think that the Nigerian government has ever carried out any independent research on marijuana. One of the biggest markets in the world for marijuana in the world is Israel (which is a more religious country than Nigeria). But they understand the benefits… especially the economic benefits. So much wealth can be generated from it, but that is another issue entirely.” Seun, a father of one, also said that he does not believe in marriage for the simple reason that it is a power game. “It is a thing of ego, of domination and submission. I think humanity is gradually moving away from it from the number of marriages that don’t even work. In the ones that work, someone has to submit, someone has to give up who they are for the other person for it to work; especially the women, if no one agrees to do that, the marriage won’t work. Women are more independent.” [/b] 1 Share
