my man I wish this could be a movement, criminalisation of marijuana itself is a crime against humanity. we are in desperate times in Nigeria we need to start thinking out of the box, am tired of hearing boys been chased by NDLEA and having to go bail them with huge amounts. there should be a proper reorientation of the public about marijuana use

This Op na confirmed weeder grin grin grin or maybe na just copy and paste


But in reality , we do not even know the actual number of people living in each state as such controlling the USE would be virtually impossible

USA is not Nigeria , Most normal things in other parts of the world ,except Nigeria

Would you advocate for right to arms in Nigeria ? as in legalizing guns ?

I understand your fear, but this is an emerging concept in Nigeria, you might feel USA is not Nigeria,are you saying we can't get things right in this country? regulation is key as they regulate the use of normal drug product like paracetamol or aspirin. channel your doubt on the economic effect and you would see the potentials

I want it legalized

for it to be legalised you need to start speaking louder and probably a civil movement, lots of youth have been incarcerated due to the use of marijuana.

I think if the government is been serious about removing harmful drugs on the street they should begin with cigarette, cancer of the lungs patients have increased tremendously in Nigeria, we should learn from Uruguay that legalised marijuana to help stop the cigarette health hazard

I think you are mistaken, you need to understand the impact of the use of marijuana and not dwelling on the substance abuse. you are quick to point out abusers when there are millions of more users who don't abuse it.

my man its more about regulation and the government gaining revenue from it away from the norm of criminalising pot users that cost the government and still ends in futility, because study has shown that in Nigeria pot smokers have increased by 30percent in the past two years

It took 150 years of govt funding and research on cigarette alone before the govt understood the implications of cigarette smoking and another 10 years to understand the effects of secondary cigarette smoking.
It took an accidental discovery on the implications of cocaine and heroin addiction.
It took an american athlete accidental death before the west took steroids as a crime.
In Nigeria cocaine deaths go unreported how much more marijuana.
We see everyday the associated addiction as a result of marijuana.
If you want REAL LIVE ACCOUNTS
just visit NDLEA office or if the health workers at yaba psychiatry will allow the monumental "secret cases" surrounding marijuana.

This is curled from the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DRUG ABUSE






"How does marijuana affect the brain?

Marijuana has both short- and long-term effects on the brain.

THC acts on numerous areas (in yellow) in the brain.
Short-term effects

When a person smokes marijuana, THC quickly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream. The blood carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body. The body absorbs THC more slowly when the person eats or drinks it. In that case, the user generally feels the effects after 30 minutes to 1 hour.

THC acts on specific brain cell receptors that ordinarily react to natural THC-like chemicals in the brain. These natural chemicals play a role in normal brain development and function.

Marijuana overactivates parts of the brain that contain the highest number of these receptors. This causes the "high" that users feel. Other effects include:

altered senses (for example, seeing brighter colors)
altered sense of time
changes in mood
impaired body movement
difficulty with thinking and problem-solving
impaired memory

Long-term effects

Marijuana also affects brain development. When marijuana users begin using as teenagers, the drug may reduce thinking, memory, and learning functions and affect how the brain builds connections between the areas necessary for these functions.

Marijuana’s effects on these abilities may last a long time or even be permanent.

For example, a study showed that people who started smoking marijuana heavily in their teens and had an ongoing cannabis use disorder lost an average of eight IQ points between ages 13 and 38. The lost mental abilities did not fully return in those who quit marijuana as adults. Those who started smoking marijuana as adults did not show notable IQ declines (Meier, 2012).

A Rise in Marijuana’s THC Levels

The amount of THC in marijuana has been increasing steadily over the past few decades (Mehmedic, 2010). For a new user, this may mean exposure to higher THC levels with a greater chance of a harmful reaction. Higher THC levels may explain the rise in emergency room visits involving marijuana use.

The popularity of edibles also increases the chance of users having harmful reactions. Edibles take longer to digest and produce a high. Therefore, people may consume more to feel the effects faster, leading to dangerous results.

Dabbing is yet another growing trend. More people are using marijuana extracts that provide stronger doses, and therefore stronger effects, of THC (see "Marijuana Extracts"wink.

Higher THC levels may mean a greater risk for addiction if users are regularly exposing themselves to high doses.
What are the other health effects of marijuana?

Marijuana use may have a wide range of effects, both physical and mental.

Physical effects

Breathing problems. Marijuana smoke irritates the lungs, and frequent marijuana smokers can have the same breathing problems that tobacco smokers have. These problems include daily cough and phlegm, more frequent lung illness, and a higher risk of lung infections. Researchers still do not know whether marijuana smokers have a higher risk for lung cancer.
Increased heart rate. Marijuana raises heart rate for up to 3 hours after smoking. This effect may increase the chance of heart attack. Older people and those with heart problems may be at higher risk
Problems with child development during and after pregnancy. Marijuana use during pregnancy is linked to increased risk of both brain and behavioral problems in babies. If a pregnant woman uses marijuana, the drug may affect certain developing parts of the fetus’s brain. Resulting challenges for the child may include problems with attention, memory, and problem-solving. Additionally, some research suggests that moderate amounts of THC are excreted into the breast milk of nursing mothers. The effects on a baby’s developing brain are still unknown.
Mental effects

Long-term marijuana use has been linked to mental illness in some users, such as:

temporary hallucinations—sensations and images that seem real though they are not
temporary paranoia—extreme and unreasonable distrust of others
