Ondo has the most potent cannabis, says drugs officer The Ondo State commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Walter Nicholas has attributed the high rate of cultivation of Indian hemp in the state to the high demand for cannabis planted in the state. Mr Nicholas, who spoke with NEXT in Akure at the weekend, said the potency of the cannabis being planted in Ondo State is attracting buyers from the 36 states of the federation and this in turn has made its cultivation lucrative. Ondo State has some of the largest cannabis plantations in the country and drugs officials had warned this might affect food production in the state. But Mr Nicholas said investigation carried out by his agency showed vividly that cannabis planted in Ondo state is perceived to be of higher quality compared to others planted in other states. He equally attributed the fertility of the land as another major reason for the large number of cannabis plantations in Ondo State. "The soil here in Ondo State is very rich for Indian hemp cultivation, the Indian hemp that is grown in Ondo State is the most potent all over Nigeria, therefore it is very costly," he said. "Due to this, many youths have ventured into the plantation of Indian hemp at the expense of other food and cash crops". The NDLEA boss also accused some land owners of releasing their land to aid cultivation of cannabis, a development which he said has further boosted the illicit trade in the state. "The accessibility to the land is not helping the fight against the high rate of cultivation of Indian hemp. The owners of this land are conniving with these planters by releasing their land to these people," he said. He however, noted that the agency has continued to raid the farms with the aim to ensure that the illicit act is reduced to the barest minimum. He, however said most of the roads leading to the farms are not accessible, saying this has made it difficult for his officers to carry out their operations. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5693077-146/story.csp [img]http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/dt.common.streams.StreamServer.cls?CONTENTTYPE=image/jpeg&STREAMOID=a4OoHBUnngI2hsbp73t2Iy6SYeqqxXXqBcOgKOfTXxRe87EaUnpgByXq4eM1Y_mnnW_PgxgftuECOcfJwS6Jtlp$r8Fy$6AAZ9zyPuHJ25T7a9GKDSxsGxtpmxP0VAUyHL6IDcZHtmM2t7xO$FHdJG95dFi6y2Uma3vSsvPpVyo-[/img] Up in flames: a cannabis farm is burnt by NDLEA operatives; The Ondo State commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) attributed the high rate of cultivation of Indian hemp in the state to the high demand for cannabis planted in the state.

Nah I cannot afford to smoke. Makes you dumb. Not a good idea to do it while in school, puts you at a disadvantage. |

EzeUche__: Body chemistry works differently for different people. For some people, it makes them dumb. Others, it has no effect. Plus if you have a job that subjects you to random drug tests, I think it takes many months to come out of your system. So not a good idea if you'll enter the job market. . . most of these companies do drug tests |
| Re: Ondo Has The Most Potent Cannabis, Says Drugs Officer by Nobody: 3:43am On Apr 25, 2011 |
ekt_bear: Oh thatz why [b]they [/b]love to burn the weed. Best job ever! |

Anyway, what do these NDLEA agents expect? You expect a poor man to be growing rice when there is a far more lucrative crop he can plant on his land?  Free them jor |

There would be peace in this world if people followed this path. |

It is potent yet the best way the NDLEA decides to dispose of it is to lite the Igbo up so everyone in the community can get a free round on 'em? ROFLMAO!!! |
| Re: Ondo Has The Most Potent Cannabis, Says Drugs Officer by Nobody: 3:49am On Apr 25, 2011 |

Naija is probably a good place to become a marijuana farmer though. Not too many police around, lots of rural places you can do what you want w/o being bothered. Probably the penalty for being caught isn't too high? Maybe a fine? Probably no jail time. |

ekt_bear: Do you want our nation to be like Colombia? Who will be the next Pablo Escobar? |
| Re: Ondo Has The Most Potent Cannabis, Says Drugs Officer by ektbear: 4:00am On Apr 25, 2011 |
Cocaine is different, that is a hard drug. The penalties for cocaine are going to be much harsher than that for marijuana. Marijuana isn't really dangerous. Illegal, but not dangerous. Cocaine is both illegal and very dangerous. |
| Re: Ondo Has The Most Potent Cannabis, Says Drugs Officer by koruji(m): 4:01am On Apr 25, 2011 |
EzeUche__: Now you have to learn to sign. Are you talking about smoking Igbo (as in re-mi) or Igbo (mi-do). Just kidding around *Ileke-IdI: That is one serious case of procrastination. |

New studies suggest Marijuana might be a cause of schizophrenia in adult life, when young kids smoke http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/teens-who-smoke-pot-at-risk-for-later-schizophrenia-psychosis-201103071676 Nothing conclusive at this point, but makes some sense that anything that puts the brain out its normal state is likely to have some residual effect. ekt_bear: |
