Before the coming of the white man, cannabis was legal. The same white man that criminalised cannabis has legalised it in their own country, but our people are the ones now carrying the cannabis ban on their heads. God, please give us sense in this country.

In Netherlands you refer to, the people are not thinking of how to eat at least one meal a day.

In Nigeria , the guy that has smoked cannabis on empty stomach will more likely commit crime to feed to at least have a day's meal.

CSTRR:

There is billions of dollars to be made.
Economic diversification, jobs, and foreign revenue.

Djibouti and Uganda are currently making millions from it, exporting to Europe.

Nigerian govt does not love their citizens more than the Europeans love their own citizens.
Can we maintain the standard of those countries you mentioned

Buba Marwa should not head the NDLEA. There's better qualified personel

The agency, most importantly, needs someone who can think outside the box

BluntTheApostle:


We can avail ourselves of the economic and medical gains of cannabis, but we must never let it be uncontrolled.

Cannibis, in the wrong hand, is a disaster. And because the country is so corrupt, and due to this corruption, it would be impossible to control cannabis use.

So, Marwa is right to have reservations about the legalization of cannabis.

Aboguede:
I agree with NDLEA on this. By the way we are talking about the abuses of cannabis especially in a low developing economy plus high percentage of ignorant miseducated population

aribisala0:
It is uncontrolled and uncontrollable in Nigeria. Deal with reality not fantasy

Athemisia:


Lemme educate you a little....
In the United States only 18 states legalize it for recreational use while 36 for medical use.

And sorry, it can't replace oil because it can't even generate half the price of oil a day.

Just look at your stats, they're are valued to have $60billion per annum. While oil revenue is at 12.23million per day. Please do the maths.

Sacchi1162:
Agreed... The problem is not even legalization of these drugs but the fact that people will abuse them and that's the fear.

crossbreedwears:
And who is the better qualified person sir?

emilfischer:


Legalising weed will not solve Nigeria's problem. Instead, it will make it worse as more people will get addicted.

Besides, if we are considering the income the government can generate from it, they are much better and safer ways to go about. We don't have to destroy our society more than it currently is to achieve this.
