So Canada forgot their generation might later fall victim?? Who dey give kids phones these days??

professore:
Those behind legalising cannabis for selfish interest forgot that their generation might later fall victim of cannabis smokers. Let's have posterity in mind even if we think we are untouchable. That is why I love white men, they have the lives that will exist after them in mind that is why they try their best to leave good legacies behind. Even the policy of cut a tree and plant 2 trees is to ensure better life for the upcoming ones. But blacks are always thinking of "myself" and "today".

That drug boss na still drug dey worry am

Shat ap there mumu. This administration and cannabis which is more harmful to Nigerians?
Dullards always looking at things from the negative side of it. Come on! Bring it on. Legalize weed today!

It means they have been taking before that is why they are not useful in the house

Same sex and Cannabis are not the same thing.
All you have done is to throw sand in everyone's eyes. Stay on the issue. Don't muddy the water with same sex marriage.

My reference to California is the fact that cannabis is legalized and there is no record of increased negative effect on the residents of California.
This is where Marwa misses the assignment.

There is a growing move to revisit mass incarcerated Americans from cannabis use, possession to be pardoned and freed, and already inmates are being freed. Even laws are in parliaments to achieve this on a large scale.

If I should borrow your logic, so because California and so many countries are going green, we should not do the same? Let us continue using fossil fuel.
Or we should leave 5G and stay with CDMA?
Or we should not adjust our curriculum and keep teaching kids there are only 9 planets?

Your argument is based on the fact that because California legalized weed then Nigeria should. That is not a good argument.

California legalized shoplifting should Nigeria also legalize shoplifting?

Have you ever considered the fact that the law in California legalising marijuana use is very strict on the production, transportation, buying and using of marijuana for recreational purposes something that can not be apply in a country like ours where people are lawless.

Let's look at the present consumption of marijuana in our society, most people use it to get high, use it to boast their confidence to rob, murder and rape. How about psychosis gotten from marijuana, the depression, the anxiety,panic attacks, the unwillingness to participate in society.

also i have never seen anybody that wants to be an active part of society smoking weed.

Nigeria doesn't even have a system to control and manage it

No point was made, you are typing like a weed head.

The fact that they can not control the illegal use or enforce the law against smoking marijuana, what then make you think that decriminalization of marijuana will suddenly solve all the problems concerning the use of the drug.

People have been illegally using marijuana for smoking and getting high, why then they didn't think about the medicinal aspect of it.

I have never seen any marijuana user in Nigeria trying to use marijuana for medicine, rather to get high and rob people of their belongings.

And lastly, the bible said herbs and not weed and what are herbs used for? medicinal purpose, flavoring and garnishing food not smoking to get high.

Your problem is an inherited brain disease .
Who tell you say Nigerians no dey smoke am for medical reasons abi you don dey follow all Igbo smokers dey waka to know their reasons of smoking it .
People even leave Nigeria to go and be smoking it in other to better their health why doesn't the government make it legal for the sake of those who need it for medical purposes.
If you say they should not legalize it move to the north and stay so that you don't worry people who embrace mordern idea .
Your last statement calling marijuana weed shows how senseless and misinformed you are.If you don't know what to say then shut up before you start saying the Bible mentioned herbs not weed .
Weed is a nickname.
Modified
The countries that legalized it for recreational use are wise enough to know its benefits (it can be used to stop alcohol addiction etc ) .
If they legalize marijuana doesn't make it compulsory for everyone to use the God given herb.get sense.
Modified again
Smoking is a mordernised way of taking marijuana . you don't expect people to still use fowl feathers to write etc .
The early man once ate some today's cooked food raw .get sense things must mordernise .

You are the druggie. You really don't know what you are typing.

The center for disease control and prevention is the national public health agency in the United states and whatecer research they do is of high quality.

From the post the posted, The CDC specifically wrote that there ìs limited evidence that marijuana is used to treat chronic pain. That shows that marijuana does not cure pain

Your village pipo na dem scatter your brain not cannabis .
Be confusing yourself .
I posted the CDC report on the benefits of cannabis and you foolishly or cleverly ignored that .
The below picture is from the CDC website on the benefits of cannabis

Case studies is the backbone of any new thing.
The negative effects listed above is a very small percentage of those that currently smoke weed in Nigeria. I want us to see beyond the perception that once you smoke weed, then you act out these things.
The illegal tag around it drives it underground where production can't be standardized or processed. Hence the contaminants or inability to remove certain substances that exercebate these negative effects Nigeria keeps highlighting.
If we legalize it, production and distribution comes out of the shadows, and quality improves. Nobody or brand will want a bad product attached to their image, which will lead to users going to the next supplier.
This alone will greatly reduce the current number of spiked or contaminated weed being consumed.
Out of every 100 people that smoke weed. Are we saying 80 - 90 go out to rob, rape or become recalcitrant? Its probably 5 or 10.
Why are the other 80 people not affected? In an unregulated country like Nigeria.
This is where I draw inference to California who has brought it to the open, and not because we should just copy them.
Before they did that, they had studies and research conducted that eventually passed through their parliament and courts before being signed into law. That is a rigorous process.
A lot of people that are part of Nigerian society smoke in hiding. Because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.
The psychosis and addiction and all other negative effects currently exists, let's deal with them within a framework that will handle them better or provide health response to them.

My reference to California is the fact that cannabis is legalized and there is no record of increased negative effect on the residents of California.
This is where Marwa misses the assignment

So if its legalized under strict production, distribution and use, it will resolve many issues and perception.

and their justice system is not strong enougg to deter you from committing crime? Or catch up with you if you do without being bribed by powerful personalities? Elderly man.

Take your negative thoughts to sleep .
It worked elsewhere it wouldn't work here.
Just hear yourself .

it's either you are an illitrate or comparative analysis illiterate. See, the fact that something work somewhere does not mean it will ever work at another place.

New York legalized marijuana in 2021.

Arrest summons from marijuana DECLINED from 3000 plus to 8 (EIGHT) under 60 days after legalization.

We need to revisit marijuana myths, truths, health POV and the public policy around it, borrowing a leaf from Gov. Akeredolu and not Buba Marwa.
