This man has a point .
which point? Why not regulate usage instead? Out of Tobacco and cannabis, which kills faster? Cannabis has several medicinal values than Tobacco. Now that it's yet to be regulated, almost all the Nigerian police force, army, ministers, senators and millions in the society take cannabis...marwa could be taking it in his closet too, who knows? They are all advocates of do as I say, but not do as I do policies.

2 years ago, my cousin had the opportunity of accompanying his boss to teslim balogun stadium where his boss met with his protégé. He quickly wore his kits and joined the likes of former governor fashola on the pitch to play football. After they were done, he told me he saw fashola smoking igbo( cannabis) . As soon as he was done, he dashed into his vehicle and left.

Even if it were sentiments, shouldn't caution be taken ? Nigeria is dealing drug abuse cases and you need to see the number of people visiting us in the psychiatric ward regarding mental issues due to excessive drug abuse and narcotics

Bring a research paper which proves marijuana causes mental illness.

The man has no point.
Cannibis is used as medication in many places.
And when it is legalised it can be monitored and developed

Shebi as it is not legalised Nigerians are still using it even more than those that have legalised it?
Cocaine is also used as a medication but why hasn't it been legalized? Sometimes just don't support evil just because everyone is supporting it

Medical marijuana uses the marijuana plant or chemicals in it to treat diseases or conditions. It's basically the same product as recreational marijuana, but it's taken for medical purposes.The marijuana plant contains more than 100 different chemicals called cannabinoids. Each one has a different effect on the body. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the main chemicals used in medicine. THC also produces the "high" people feel when they smoke marijuana or eat .

cannabinoids might:

Reduce anxiety

Reduce inflammation and relieve pain

Control nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy

Kill cancer cells and slow tumor growth

Relax tight muscles in people with MS

Stimulate appetite and improve weight gain in people with cancer and AIDS

Boko Haram members also drink water. We should ban water to stop terrorism!

The worst example ever.

Water is a necessity, weed is not. Water does change your sense of reasoning after drinking it

All terrorists smoke weed before going out to fight.

I think we need to be careful to make a distinction between drug abuse and safe healthcare use. Literally any medicine can be abused. But for very sick people, those same hard drugs can allow them to recover and live normal lives.

Also, some people abuse drugs because they're not getting medical care they need. Something as safe and inexpensive as mar-juana could give a lot more people access to affordable medicine.

So this is your reason why they should legalise it

Weed causes mental issues. THC in weed is the cause of mental illness

So you are telling me that when you smoke weed, you don't hallucinate, you don't feel super, you don't feel like your body is out of this world.

if weed is decriminalized, then smugglers will legally poison you, add whatever they want to make it more addictive.

Beer also makes people drunk and sometimes hallucinate when taken in overdose....but beer has never made anyone go mad. The number cause of metal illness today in nigeria amongst our youth isn't weed but codeine and tramadol which are legally sold to youths without prescription. You really need to at least read on topics before giving hot takes.

You're quick to highlight the benefits . Why not highlight the negative effects and see if they outweigh the positives impacts cannabis will have on the Nigerian society

Yes, if legalised in Nigeria. It can be applied in many ways, not only by smoking it. Cannabis is good in the treatment of eczema. Most of the hair creams contain it. Check all the hair cream used in barbing salon, look inside and you'd see some dark particle inside. It's cannabis. It kills dandruff more than anything.

This is actually the reason for the removal of ban. Drug war in Nigeria is mostly on weed. Nigeria is not a huge market for the consumption of meth, heroin, and other hard drug. Na person wey never get money chop belleful go see money buy expensive hard drugs.

Then he should be very afraid then if his whole job depends on this stuff being illegal. Why even keep the agency then.

Because you personally are a terrorist health expert? grin

Just go 2 days without water and tell me if you reason the same.

Using the excuse of "bad people use this" is the silliest reason to ban something.

You can use the reasoning to ban video cameras, motorcycles, Toyota hilux and slippers because terrorists use them.

Actually show the harm of the item and the benefits of the ban or stop talking out of your rear end.

Those that take codeine and tramadol also take weed, lot of people have gone mad because of it.

Most users of marijuana suffers from depression and anxiety.

Also there is a relationship between Schizophrenia and marijuana use.

It's not only by smoking it that makes it applicable in human lives. It's useful in so many amazing ways, medically. All the hair creams barbers use contain cannabis. Look at the dark particles inside...it's cannabis. It teats eczema like magic. If legalised and regulated, I'm in support. Whether it's even legalised or not, it doesn't stop people from abusing it, the number of consumers would only be reduced if regulated by NAFDAC and other relevant agencies

Thc has side effects experienced by some people but hasn't been proven to be pose a health risk like legal cigarettes do..... I've been smoking weed for 5 years, am not an area boy, I work in finance and am doing fairly well as a person. You guys need to change your mindset.

Why do marijuana smokers always tell us the positive side but not the negative side of smoking weed.

Funny thing is, most folks that commit crimes actually drink alot of hard liquor. People see Marijuana and picture touts in Nigeria. Plus, the Nafdac boss should check well, the number of abused dangerous drugs compared to Marijuana is alarming. Codeine, refnol, tramadol, Colorado, cocaine, etc.

The first paragraph is simply an assumption that shows your lack of logical reasoning.

Second paragraph same as first.

Third is an assumption backedup by the opinion of some guy.
