This isn't even a review!
All you did was to state their specs.
But even at that there's no way that Infinix is better than a Redmi Note9s

Fear Igbo traders o.

I didn't know Igbo people owned almost all these shops. Wow!

The plazas in the picture are at Watt Market and Etim Edim and are always full and packed with people. Even on Sundays you'll see people at Etim Edim.

But now look how empty the place is. Just because Igbo people went on lockdown.

Igbo kwenu!

Nah, relax, I am very well aware of the medicinal benefits, You are advicing people to take weed from your words and you aren't aware of their health status, that's the problem I have with you. You keep inviting them to your diary. If you say am ignorant, then no problem. But please stop prescribing drugs to people without being aware of their inner strength to manage the drug. Everyone is not like you, I need no crown, just don't want my bro/sis to go through my pain. We cool bro, no war.

That is another place you are wrong.
Check all the people I mentioned you'll see that they're mostly already people that use weed.
I have not invited anybody to smoke weed, neither have my words implied so. I'm not looking for "new members".
I am an advocate for cannabis, it doesn't mean I want everybody to join me. Do what rocks your boat.
The only people I explicitly told to use weed are the two people struggling with cigarette and alcohol addiction.
I am against addiction in all its forms and I have told even people addicted to marijuana to quit smoking it.
My goal is to educate people, tell them the truth about marijuana and not to look for people who will join me in smoking.

When ever I smoke weed I smoke more cigarettes,
I can't smoke weed without having cigarettes on my side, cigarettes first... before food. I don't drink much.
Maybe that's my own system.
About your signature... OK

Okay. But that's why I said you have to be intentional about using weed to replace cigarettes.
You can buy weed instead of cigarettes. But don't even smoke the weed. Try to abstain from smoking as a whole. But whenever the urge to smoke is strong, smoke the available weed instead of buying cigarettes.
You have to realise that it's a gradual process. Your first step is to cut cigarettes out of your life.
Well, you know yourself and works for you. I'm just giving my suggestion.
Good luck, anyway.

So you really wanna depend on a plant all your life right? You are limiting your potential Man. You can perform far more without the plant. But you won't agree. The plant will only limit you within the cloud you create for yourself above your head.

The general misconception is that it's the weed smokers that are always stupid, stubborn and never listen. But from your comment I can see that you're trying to take that crown by all means. Congrats.
I'm sure I didn't even imply that I use Marijuana too much neither did I say that I depend on marijuana.
I am very intentional about my use of marijuana and I have NEVER used it just because I want to get high. I only use it occasionally to relieve stress.
But I don't know what you read that prompted you to spill all the rubbish you just say.
It's very obvious that you are a really ignorant person. You don't know anything solid about marijuana - just what you've heard from others.

There is nothing like weed addiction, it's not even possible, the nerve ends that weed attaches to cant create the kind of dependance that cocaine and co can create


The only argument against weed is that it's a gateway drug to other drugs, that one is true but very rare but if you ignore that arguement there is nothing you can say against weed, let's not even begin, cause me I know my onions

All these illiterates talking nonsense here

I don't think there is any evidence to prove that marijuana is s gateway drug. Cigarettes are the real culprits here

Are u of the opinion that

Weed has no bad effects on the system
or
Weed has some bad effects but its trivial
or
Weed indeed has significant negative effects but the benefits gotten from the use outweighs the risk

Which is ur stance ?

The truth is that weed has some negative effects just like most other substances but the benefits greatly outweigh the risks.

Hey on the flip side. What do you think of people who smoke shisha or hookah as its commonly known? You think there’s any health condition from smoking shisha?



I don't know much about shisha but I know it's still tobacco you're smoking. And so it comes with the same risks from smoking other tobacco products.
Marijuana is literally the safest thing you can smoke.

If I hear, in the realm of addictions, weed is a boy where sugar is

Every small thing una go give weed bad name, almost all the most innovative ideas for the past 20 years were inspired by weed, we have grown more over the last 20 years than ever before, so spare me that gist


Weed has no side effects, I dare you to point one, op is using cigarettes faults to paint weed, how can you be addicted to weed, for America to make it legal you should know that its harmless

Weed is the only recreational drug legal in America, think about that, a legal recreational drug, if weed wasn't good thing they will allow that


Leave weed alone, I feel for all the dumb ones that will believe you and never experience true vision

I don't think weed is 100% harmless tho.
But the truth is that the 'side effects' are very negligible when you put them side by side with all the good things weed give you.
People just give weed a bad name because the truth has been hidden from them for so long.

I'm a smoker, a chain smoker, I smoke too much cigarettes,
I want to switch from cigarettes to weed since weed is better than cigarettes.

The worst is weed will make you smoke more cigarettes than normal.

No, sir!
Weed won't worsen your cigarette smoking habits. As a matter of facts, it will help you stop smoking cigarettes if you're intentional about breaking the habit of smoking cigarettes.
I've read several stories and research about people that used marijuana to stop smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol.

the only thing that they write smokers are liable to die young is cigarettes, I have seen many old men smoke and they are still alive and healthy till date.
the best smoke is weed and you have to smoke responsibly just like drinking alcohol responsibly...
one or two wrap a day or probably a week is okay.
eating marijuana or smoking has good health benefit, the only thing worrisome is that youth of today just smoke to prove they are strong in the street or social media especially those small boy yahoo....
don't smoke to prove your stupidity...
don't smoke to prove yourself to your friends
if you feel your body reacts somehow after smoking or when smoking, stop the smoking habit it's not for you.
there is nothing like smoking addiction you are just been stupid smoking thinking smoking gives you joy sad I have the experience just like alcohol, it doesn't worth it. just listen to music and be high

Gosh! I love your spirit!
I really really agree with all you've just said.
The weed culture in Nigeria is ugly.
Everybody just smokes weed as if they're trying to show how tough/cool they are. It's as if they smoke to show that they've reached a higher level of being "street".
And it's just so irresponsible and immoral. Just smoking as much weed as possible just for the fun of it without realising that weed is great for other purposes too.
Personally, I smoke weed only with my friends.
My philosophy is that we should smoke weed like we drink wine - once a while (in moderation) at the end of the week or so just to feel good and relieve the stress of all the hardworking we've been doing.

Thank you ArisingStorm: for this topic, I'm currently battling this issue. if you check some of my previous threads
I started very early, the first year in school, it's b been 8 years now I managed to get a career in IT , and I'm currently chasing bigger opportunities, and have vowed to stop if I get it.
But damn the pull is too strong!
My whole creative and thought process is interwoven into it.
I sleep better when I smoke,
I read better when I'm high,
All my interviews, I attended high.
I even code better when I'm high.
Music is not the same without weed,
Worst is food, I can't eat without smoking first .
Psychologically the food won't be sweet.

No I am not quitting because I think It is bad for my health, I need to know how some life feels again.
This whole hazy shit ain't it !

Yes, I have enjoyed the herb, But now It's time to quit
I have realized, I can't stop it on my own and have totally submitted to the higher power, I keep praying everyday, knowing this will be a thing of the past AMen

I feel you, bro.
And I understand you. Addiction is a very terrible thing... No matter what it is you're addicted to.
Weed is a nice thing but you're right - you have to break that addiction.
Breaking an addiction is like fighting a war. But I want you to never feel alone in your fight. Feel free to pour your heart here whenever things start to overwhelm you - it will help you a lot. It doesn't help to carry so much burden alone.
You can always message me here whenever you want to talk about your struggles.
I sincerely hope you beat this. Take care.

Very intriguing and educative story.

I'm also battling alcohol and tobacco addiction presently.

I smoke 3packets of benson switch everyday. That's #1200 being burnt to ashes daily.

And when I get drunk, I start singing out loud and disturbing everyone in the beer parlor. I think I'm having fun at that point in time, but afterwards- I become as depressed as ever, when I realise how stupid I've been...

I'm very sorry about your problem, sir.
Cigarette smoke causes about 3 million deaths every year and alcohol consumption causes more than double that amount of deaths every year.
You have to stop drinking and smoking cigarettes.
One very effective way of breaking an addiction is by replacing the substance you abuse with something safer while also bearing in mind the fact that you're trying to avoid any form of addiction.
You may not believe it, sir, but Marijuana is a healthy alternative to cigarettes and alcohol. There are several peer-reviewed research that prove this. Just google about marijuana for stopping alcohol addiction. I will try to find a helpful link for you.
You might want to argue that smoking marijuana is no better than smoking cigarettes or drinking but the real truth is that smoking marijuana is the lesser of two evils. Waaaaaay way lesser! There is not even a single recorded case of marijuana related death. Research proces it.
Just give it a thought.

What about Edibles

Edible are a much safer way of consuming marijuana.
But you have to be careful about it - while edibles take longer to get you feeling high, the high you get from it is way stronger and lasts a longer time even if you ate just a small piece of the edible. So never eat too much of edibles - just s tiny bit at a time.

Weed wey i wan start learn how to take, na im another person wan leave... shocked



Hahaha.
Baba, enjoy your life the way that is right for you o. But be knowledgeable about weed sha.
An advice that never fails when it comes to weed is "use it in moderation".
I love but set some rules and standards for myself. Two of them are: never smoke weed to escape from my problems. The second one is to always smoke it with my friends.
The reasons for this is to avoid dependency on weed (you do NOT want to get ADDICTED) and to always enjoy that good feeling of highness with the people I care about - my friends.
Good luck on your journey, bro.

Maybe marijuana is not for you, some people also get addicted to food ,does that mean food is bad.

Weed smoking causes lungs roasting or what do you call it, yet no case, not even 1 of people suffering from lungs cause of weed.
I'm sorry if you were affected by weed, but it's not the weed it's YOU.
You should check the effects of Maggi...

You are very correct!
As I read the OP's story I kept telling myself "this is the story of someone who has a problem with addiction and not weed itself". Even ancient wisdom has it that moderation is key to happiness. Too much of everything is bad. Some people know this, others do not.
