I support Seun Kuti on this. Cigarette has killed millions and causes cancer. Marijuana is medicinal, it cures. Marijuana is believed to be spiritual among Africans. It is called EWE OLA ( Herb of wealth) in Yoruba land.
+ for Marijuana!

drpanaba:


After commending his brother Femi Kuti’s exciting performance alongside him on Stage at the concluded 2012 Felabration concert at the Afrika Shrine, Seun Kuti broached an argument supporting smoking marijuana against smoking cigarettes. Seun is son of foremost afro-beat rhythm crooner, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, acclaimed possessor of death in his pouch who died 15 years ago following his debilitation to AIDS.

In his home sitting on a cluttered, narrow street of Lagos in Ikeja, which recently was transformed into a museum and popularly called Afrika Shrine, family annually put up a week of concerts to celebrate the legacy of the afro-beat maestro otherwise dubbed Abami Eda.

Seun Kuti usurped the avenue after his stage performance reliving his father’s style at the 2012 edition of the Felabration concert in Afrika Shrine to speak on his support for weed smoking. Marijuana undoubtedly is his choice against cigarette, taken after his father’s choice of purposeful adoption of anything African against whatever appears to be of African colonization by the west.

He condemned the non-legalizing of Marijuana like cigarette, suggesting that the position of the law on the two products was illogical.

In his submission, the favored cigarette has lethal consequences, while the legally opposed marijuana was medicinal and good for human consumption. But, Seun said, the killing cigarette was favored because it was to the white man’s profit, stressing that marijuana would make black countries richer than the white if legalized. His argument is an absolute face off with cigarette consumption while beckoning marijuana to the spotlight.

Proclaiming this position through lyrics of songs, the young Fela marionette damned black politicians for taking the white’s advice against its own natural produce of ‘weed’, which he said was good after all, and accepting the white’s product which truncates lives.

“This song is about the good leaf; ewe rere. Me I nor dey say make Government legalize Igbo o. If Government like, them legalize am. If Government like, them nor legalize am. I’m smoking it mehn!” Seun introduced.



Continued Seun, “Our politicians nor get sense. Because the white man talk say Igbo nor good, them follow dem talk say Igbho nor good. But now, in the United States of America, dem dey smoke Igbho legally”.

Seun suggested that the west advised the black politicians against legalizing marijuana because they knew it would make the black countries rich.

“Igbo doesn’t kill, but cigarette dey kill. Because cigar na white man’s business, as far as you write ‘Smokers are liable to die young’, it becomes legal.


“Why not also put Igbo in a box and write Igbo smokers are liable to go crazy young?”, he quipped.

Seun encouraged further in songs; “plant am make e grow… e good, e good, e goodu well well… plant am make e grow”.



After his groovy performance on the stage, Seun an interview with citizen journalist Segun O’Law, reiterated this position stating the benefits of smoking marijuana to include ‘medicinal’. Although Seun warned that over sniffing of weed could intoxicate or drive a subject crazy, he stood in his submission that modest weed smoking was better than cigarette bearing the latter's deadly outcome.

“Marijuana is medical, and I feel Cigarette is selling legally because it is white man’s business. It is killing millions of people everyday.. Igbo is not killing anybody.

“Marijuana is not only for smoking. It’s used for a lot of things; you can make clothes, you can drink tea, it is good, it is medicinal, it helps your appetite, they give it to cancer patients.. a lot of benefits”, he explained.



Many celebrities in the Nigerian and foreign entertainment industries performed at the concluded 2012 edition of Felabration.

The atmosphere at Afrika Shrine, Felabration concert 2012 was beyond expectation, shrouded in thick fumes of discharges from countless wraps ‘igbo’.

Dude reason this one out ok, I know it will be difficult, but try.
There was never anything wrong with ur culture black man.
there were certain practices like the ones u mentioned that would
have been done without, and the amenible ones kept, not entirely
rejecting our ancesteral ways and adopting another persons.

all succesfull countries are the ones that have maintained thier culture.
china, india, japan, meditarranean to name a few.
They also wear clothes and use cell phones , but they have largely
refused the whitemans religion, language and culture that is the secret
of thier success. i hope you have learned something black man.

Homo habilis should we also reject democracy and embrace tyranny? Yes because your proposition, it suggests we should. You say we are ok to accept the technology but retain our ideologies no matter how stupid they are right?

I don't suggest throwing our tradition away and neither have I? I'm still very much in tune with my tradition (i.e the sensible and logical ones) and I have discarded the ones that requires sacrificing a virgin.

Lord Babs: sharaap there! Prior to the popularisation of weed, was there no madness and violence? And inspite of its prohibition, was there no madness and violence? So why not just legalise the stuff and enact laws to check its abuse? Illiteracy in action!

First it's either you do smoke marijuana yourself hence your defence or you are (well let me not call you names, I don't smoke)

I have a few questions for you

1 - do you know what a catalyst means?

2 - do you know what happens when petrol is poured in a fire?

3 - do you know the effects of marijuana on the human brain, lungs and psychology?

4 - that smoke that is produces, are you aware of the kind of gas it is?

[b]Mr 50Callibre..

You sound like a child.. Your arguements are juvenile at best. I mean, you associated traditional African Religion with killing and primitive lifestyle of walking naked, living in mud houses and huts. Then we fast forward to the issue of Marijuana. And I read through your posts which reeks for sheer ignorance. What do you know about Cannabis Sativa?! How did it come about being banned?! Did you know that at one point, the United States were the largest importers of Canabis Sativa?!

I will be more than glad to take you on.. However, I would suggest you go and read up on the history of Canabis Sativa, How it became a banned substance, How despite Alcohol and Tobacco killing more people every year than car accidents, industrial accidents and even plane crashes they are yet to be banned, How Alcohol which was banned almost at the same time as Canabis is today legal in almost all the countries of the world and yet Canabis isnt..


Education is power son.. Grab yourself a book, its obvious you have no clue on this subject and that of African religion as well.
