Obasanjo Advocates For Marijuana Decriminalization: What Does It Mean? by Blue3k(m): 12:43am On Jan 29, 2018 |
Speaking with BBC NewsDay, the former military ruler said, ““It is essentially a call for what we call decriminalization. If a young man tries to experiment with a wrap of marijuana for instance & because of that we put him in jail” , he said.

The author explanation of decriminalization was confusing. He mixed in legalisation without clearly stating it n different paragraph. Government won't hand out licences for a something they deem illegal. He also spent too much time on recreational benefits to the exclusion of medical. He could of mentioned pain relief, stress relief and seizure relief (Charlotte's Web strain) in passing. Other than that it's an ok piece. Nigeria could save it's stress of booking and processing pot heads. I would just say legalize it and get tax revenue. The states that don't like it can ban it like they do with alcohol. The health effects are less than alcohol and codeine. Adults know effects and can decide for themselves. Ps: Ghana thinking about widescale drug decriminalization based on experiences in Portugal and other nations it's worked in. 45 Likes 3 Shares

“It is essentially a call for what we call decriminalization. If a young man tries to experiment with a wrap of marijuana for instance & because of that we put him in jail” , he said. If I understand him well, he is saying that possessing marijuana shouldn't be treated as a criminal offense and that people found with the substance shouldn't be locked up with persons who commit more severe offenses and that cultivation and use should be allowed in certain cases/places. There is some sense there but there are also potential negative implications. We have a lot of crazy people already...the decriminalisation will increase that number since many people will use it and damn the punishments since such punishments will not be as severe as before. But wait o, despite the illegality, 14% (about 25million) Nigerians still found a way to smoke it? Na wa for naija o. Well...I have a feeling that it will eventually be decriminalised but not anytime soon. 4 Likes |

OBJ.... You're highly respected over here. Decriminalization of Marijuana and its derivatives would open better economic prospect for our System, and as well aid medical research. People should not join this discussion blindly, in criticism of marijuana. Read and learn more. Then come back to the thread let's discuss. 10 Likes |

This makes a lot of sense and I agree with baba iyabo, Marijuana has lost its place in the category of strong drugs and no one should suffer or go to jail, because a blunt was found in your possession, recent royalties and highnesses have taken over, Marijuana is outdated, awon omo science ti take over. 6 Likes 1 Share
