That way if they commit crime they will all say it is under the influence of cannabis abi? Some people are thinking upside down. Oops I forgot, we are talking about wee wee. 1 Like |

Although there's correlation between cannabis and crime, but it does not mean being under the influence of cannabis "itself" can make you commit crime. Engaging in criminal activities is a chain product of events leading to a decision to venture in life of crime. Its not even about arguing for cannabis, but presenting a proper and honest analysis of what really cause crime amongst our youths. People get high on so many other things aside cannabis. Even, over the counter drugs when abused can cause the desired effect of "highness". One thing NDLEA should rather address, us substance abuse not the substance use. These are two different things. Sensitization of the public will work, as against prohibition of the product. Even if the latter seems to work, it will be only for the time being, because people will still find a way to source for these substance. You don't need to strain your eyes, and hears to know the multibillion dollar money business in the crack world. You don't need to stress yourself for the statistics, that presented nigeria as the third highest cannabis user in the world, and add to it a booming market worth millions of dollars. Now let's go back to the first paragraph. You see, the government is trying to mop up its past failure just to save face. Social economic factors that are lacking, like proper jobs, skills acquisitions that are economically viable, should be the main focal point of this war against drug abuse. people who are gainfully engaged will no time to think about engaging in criminal related activities, and, if they don't have the time for this, the idea to abuse any substance to get high to make them carry out their evil activities wouldn't cross their mind. That is the correlation between the two. This is because, of economic idleness, people resort in nefarious activities that makes them useful elsewhere. Substance abuse is just a chain, you can keep breaking it, but it will always find means to rebuild it self in auto. Of course, economic activities is not the only "cause" here, we have children from broken homes too, who are left alone in this wild world, coupled with the burden of having to fend for themselves, they took the alternate route. If you ask me what NDLEA, should be. I will tell you categorically that it should be scrapped, but replaced with an outfit more effective, that includes social welfare program for youths, jobs and skills acquisition that are economically viable in todays world standard. Not the presenting of clippers and okadas for youth. It won't work, we need a sound system to thoroughly mop up drug abuse. We also need counselling program included, that will orientate we youths. To be honest, many of us are finding this stafe of life so stressful, its just that some have engaged in the other types of life "just to cope". We need an outfit, included that will cater for the psychological well being of the youth. We are the engune of any society. If we are left to our devices , we will grow up to old men and women who are have been battered by life, with dementia, broken memories, regrets, so many health issues, that may cause ripple effect in the future, examples are found in the kids we are going to raise. The kind of drug fuelled lifestyle. Imagine living in a generation, where larger percentage of the old populations are domiciled in the care home, it will put a strain on resources, and personnel's. We need to be thorough and not shallow in our approach, especially, if it comes to dealing with substance abuse. 1 Like |

einsteine: Fat Bubba Marwa is indeed an avowed buffoon and a greedy treasury looter who magically found the money to establish an airline that quickly collapsed, right after a stint as an arbitrarily imposed military ruler over Lagos State. It is fascinating to see a kleptomaniac treasury looter hypothesizing about an imaginary linkage between marijuana use and crime. That fat toad only grabbed the highly lucrative post as drug law enforcer because of his tribe, and now, as the gathering momentum of cannabis legalization threatens to render Buba Marwa irrelevant, he desperately concocts one tall tale after another to justify his unwinnable war against medical marijuana, a crop that is worth billions of dollars in state and federal government revenue. Phuck you Bubba Marwa. Instead of parroting those idiotic falsehoods about cannabis, I suggest you enrol in a gym to try and shed that 300 pounds of disgusting smelly lard that you accumulated by gluttony after emptying the coffers of Lagos State. |

okoroemeka: The only beneficiaries of Nigeria's antiquated anti-cannabis laws are the criminal gangs that sell the product at exorbitant prices after adding various deadly poisons to the otherwise harmless harvest, and of course, greedy fat phucks like Bubba Marwa who leads the drug agency that arrests users of cannabis so as to steal their property under the guise of law enforcement. 1 Like |

Tranquill:You obviously don't know that Ogogoro "local gin" was once outlawed in Nigeria for fear of abuse and all the useless reasons he cited. How many do take it today, even though it is safer than those reformed gin with sugar, colourant, etc. Try to always reason beyond what government, her agencies and politicians say. First, know that they don't care about Nigerians, all that matter is their interest. Ask yourself how it's easily gotten by smokers even at any location despite the kangaroo ban? The same agencies, government, politicians are the one making money from it as the major marchants. How can the same persons legalise it and go out of business. Note that I have never smoked. It's just a matter of rational thinking. Medically Cannabis is medicinal and Well safer than cigarette when taken un-smoked. God isn't devilish to make it available naturally. The pros at weigh the cons. It could generate employment when farmed in large scale and shipped out in exchange for dollars. Answer his question below? illicit: 2 Likes |

If Nigeria's NDLEA anti-drug agency is so desperate for revenue, let them ban cigarettes, and then proceeded to extort cigarette smokers. There is actually a very sound basis for banning cigarettes. Tobacco and nicotine have ZERO medical use, and nicotine is one of the most insidious poisons ever to be consumed by human beings in the name of "enjoyment". Cigarette smoke is cursed with an absolutely horrible and nauseating stench while tobacco addiction causes millions of premature deaths per year worldwide due to the numerous cancers and terminal respiratory afflictions caused by tobacco smoking or chewing. Ban cigarettes to generate revenue for Fat Bubba Marwa and his gang of NDLEA extortionists, while simultaneously legalizing marijuana, which has numerous medical applications. |

SonGG: THC, the active ingredient of cannabis, is fat-soluble and so gets stored in the fatty tissues of the body, whereby a simple urine test can detect traces for up to a month after the most recent ingestion, vaping, or smoking of weed. For good measure and peace of mind, you could stop using cannabis a full two months prior to the time of any anticipated urine or blood test. That said, samples of human hair can retain evidence of drug use for years, but the good news is that the diagnostic equipment capable of analyzing the drug content of human hair, is enormously expensive to acquire and maintain. Most employers and government agencies worldwide thus rely on cheaper and simpler urine or blood analysis methodology. |

The potential tax revenue accruable to all strata of state and federal government from a legalized and state-regulated medical cannabis industry in Nigeria is orders of magnitude greater than whatever proceeds of extortion are being collected by Fat Bubba's NDLEA and bent police officers in the current dispensation where cannabis remains illegal to grow, sell or consume. Legalize medical marijuana and let all segments of Nigerian society experience the economic boom that will surely follow as a blessing to the nation. |
