There is NO marijuana that causes madness. NONE. It is a total myth. In fact the Nigerian weed is VERY MILD, compared to what you'll find in other countries. We have this idea that Nigerian weed is really strong. It is actually the opposite. If you want strong weed, go to Holland, or Jamaica, or the USA/UK. Or Morocco. What we have in Nigeria is VERY MILD compared to their stuff, believe it or not. Over there, you need to blend your cannabis with tobacco in order to reduce its potency, unlike Nigeria where you smoke it straight.

The real dangers are alchohol and cigarettes, and yet, mumu Nigerians embrace those while frowning on marijuana, simply because the colonial rulers made the latter illegal. Now that the colonialists are gone, Nigerians still won't use their brains to research the issue and revise the laws accordingly.

The BENEFITS of cannabis are countless. Medicinally, it is a Godsend for numerous ailments. In fact it was because of the free-growing nature of the plant that the USA and its allies banned its use a century ago, so that they could profit from the sale of other artificial stimulants like alchohol, cocaine, heroin etc.

They then created the myth that cannabis is bad, makes you 'mad' etc etc. Today, research has shown they were LYING. And those western countries are now relaxing/removing the anti-cannabis laws, while anti-research, anti-knowledge NIGERIA still retains its mumu-ship.

Mumu people.


""There is NO marijuana that causes madness.""

Stop dancing naked in Ogbete Market. Weed causes madness and it is an event that is well documented in nigeria because it happens as often as everyday. I have a relative that ran mad the very first day he smoked weed and he was rushed to Federal neuro psychiatric hospital in New haven Enugu state. I know everything about his case till the very end, The doctors said he will make almost a full recovery but will never be 100% normal (which is exactly how it happened). The doctor also said that he is lucky that it happened on his first day, If it happened after he has abused weed for 10 years or more, HE would have an irreversible brain damage and remain demented for Life.

Oga do u have friends that are practicing as medical doctors as ur relatives who do same? please tell them to educate u on this matter, It is not a rare occurrence. If u still insist, They will take u to see the victims in the hospital n clear ur doubts.

I have friends who came back from America and refused to smoke weed after perceiving the odour of nigerian weed, They insisted that this is no weed, That it is too strong to be weed. Americanweed is very very very light, That i am 1000% sure.

The guy is right though I see where you are coming from. Marijuana does not cause madness, it just doesn't. The problem is that a lot of the marijuana sold in Nigeria are adulterated. The dealers mix them with a lot of very harmful chemicals--like saponins--to make them "stronger" and give you a better a high. Those chemicals are what can actually make someone insane as they are very harmful. Do you know the main reason it is happening? Ironically, it is simply because marijuana is illegal so it is left in hands of very nefarious people who will do anything for more profit. If it were legal, you would see pharmaceutical companies selling marijuana in it's purest form which won't cause any harm and you would see government agencies warning people against buying marijuana from the black market. Making it legal totally eliminates the black market and totally eliminates the chances of what happened to your relative happening to anyone. Marijuana is prescribed by doctors around the world for ailments like cancer, Tourette's, and therapy-resistent glaucoma. They would not be prescribing it if there was a chance it would make their patients lose their sanity

I don't smoke, but I have not come across it in the Bible where God proscribed it. Rather God said;

Genesis 1:29-30
Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so.

Why do we condemn cannabis?

The above is one of the reason why I keep saying God never instructed anyone to write about him because no one has seen God or heard from him. Same way how text books where written by writers was how bible was written to suite the practice of some tribes who have engaged themselves in that way of life.

Pork meat was among the forbidden meat in the Bible because their tribes forbids it just like as some parts forbids eating lizard there are people who eat it.

The illegality of marijuana is an insult to God's own creation.

It is something that grows naturally on our planet. Making marijuana illegal is unnatural!
Marijuana is made on earth, God made it for a reason so we can take it, feel good and take the pain away.

Alcohol, tobacco. They kill faster than a bullet but they are legal. Valium, prozac all that stuff are all legal. Go to a doctor, get it and overdose on it.

So why my beautiful maryjane? Why did they choose to pick on mj.

I also reject your LIE about your ''American based friends'' who ''REFUSED'' to smoke Nigerian weed because it was supposedly ''too strong''. You people think you are talking to fools here who don't know anything, or haven't been around. GET THIS, LIAR. There is NO GREAT DIFFERENCE between Nigerian cannabis and US cannabis, or any other cannabis. I lived in the western world for DECADES, and know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. In fact Nigerian weed is relatively WEAK compared to many other varieties. Do not come here with any lies, because I will expose you.

In Holland, where cannabis use is legalised, they have what they call 'Coffee Shops', which are bars where ganga is sold, along with drinks, coffee etc.. Each coffee shop sells up to twenty different varieties of cannabis from all over the world. Each variety is placed in a large glass jar. You simply enter and choose your favoured one. Nobody is running around mad on the streets of Holland despite all this. The people are among the most accommodating and prosperous people on the face of the earth. So it is in Nigeria where your weak ass weed will be driving people mad on the streets? Just GTFOH.
