Reasons Why Nigerian Government Should Legalise Weed/marijuana by JackBizzle: 4:45pm On Nov 22, 2021
This argument is for regulated marijuana trade. Marijuana farms and shops must registered and licensed with the federal government. Weed should be smoked (or consumed) in the shops alone

1. It will stimulate the economy. It is a way of creating money through exports. Weed can be seen as an agricultural export. The government can raise money through taxes on the product. The government can also raise money through arrests, fines and seizures of those who would inevitable run afoul of the license.

2. It will create jobs. Developed countries always create jobs for its citizens through creative products and services. We can now have weed farmers, weed scientists/growers, weed shop attendants, weed cake bakers etc.

3. It will reduce street thugs/agberos There are many miscreants on the streets of Nigeria due to unemployment. Legalising weed can be a source of employment and also an anti-depressant to those who are angry on the streets.

4. It will increase tourism There are many foreigners who travel for drug tourism. Tourists travel to Holland just because of its weed laws.

5. Naira Marley will win a government position He will be inspired by the drug and sing many songs. This will make him twice the superstar and he will become a man of the people. When he is in government, he will give us freedom in Nigeria. THIS IS A JOKE, THE OTHER POINTS ARE SERIOUS, THOUGH!

Not necessarily. There would be greater investment in weed and one would be able to buy the grade of weed he or she can afford.

Alcohol is legal. There are expensive Alcohol drinks and there are cheap ones. Therefore, there will be cheap weed and expensive weed

Nigerians should not be hung up on religious sentiments about weed.

Marijuana businesses in USA do not make loss.

Don't worry about others. Haters will hate.

In the USA, there were many groups of people that were against the legalisation of marijuana. But now, that it legalised in many states, they are all quiet. People are making millions from the business.

Wrong. If they legalize weed, more people will go into the business. The competition will drive farmers to improve quality and stoners would not need to smoke Arizona or any of those rubbish.
