There is no third eye, its a delusion and garbage for the gullible. Marijuana makes you unproductive and satisfied with a life of being numb and underachievement. Marijuana smokers, deliberately or stupidly, love living in denial and deceiving everyone and themselves that weed is totally harmless and it's the best thing since sliced bread. They even say it's not addictive. grin

I KEEP SAYING IT AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN:

HARD DRUGS AND DRUG ABUSE WILL DESTROY YOU, PLEASE QUIT.

THEN BUHARI SHOULD HAND OVER TO ATIKU, THAT'S THE PEOPLE'S MANDATE.

ALTHOUGH NIGERIA IS NOT RIPE FOR DEMOCRACY.

IF ONLY WE COULD FIND ONE PATRIOTIC NATIONALIST WHO IS NEITHER ETHNIC NOR RELIGIOUS CENTRIC AND SINCERELY LOVE NIGERIA TO LEAD US, THAT WILL BE BETTER.

SOMEBODY LIKE GHADAFFI OF LYBIA.

IF I MAY ASK, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME CHINA HELD A GENERAL ELECTION? YOU SEE, CHINA HAS HER OWN VERSION OF DEMOCRACY. NOT THIS OUR COPY COPY DEMOCRACY FROM AMERICA.

IMAGINE N250+ BILLION FOR AN ELECTION AND IT WAS ALL A WASTE.

THINK HOW MANY HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, ROADS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURES THAT AMOUNT COULD BUILD BUT MAHMOOD YAKUBU & CO WASTED IT.

NIGERIA WAKE UP, TIME IS AGAINST US.

Just a concerned Nigerian.

how is Atiku relevant to the topic, some of you guys problem is misplaced priority. one would have thought you will make a meaningful contribution on the topic beyond the lame opening " HARD DRUGS AND DRUG ABUSE WILL DESTROY YOU, PLEASE QUIT

Do your research before you open your mouth and let trash spew out next time.

Marijuana has killed zero and I mean zero persons in history, research it!

Now what are your requirements to consider a drug 'hard'?

While alcohol and cigarette kill millions yearly.

Marijuana was legal for most of history before the early 1900s, when It was made illegal to target minority Populations in the US

Now the same countries are correcting their errors and now suddenly Nigerians know better

Alcohol, cigarette and even coffee are more like hard drugs than marijuana!

..it musn't kill before is a hard drug... Go board a plane to the US and let them see concealed marijuana with you...

The biggest issue in Nigeria today is the outcome of the elections.
I respected your kind by relating to the topic but then, I heard to say my mind.

If not pleased you can approach the 3rd mainland bridge, it's free .
NB: Atiku is our president, he won the election.

it's not addictive because you can quit anytime with little or no withdrawal effects (depends on how often one has been taking it) I can go a full month without needing that stuff, but people abuse it, now talk about the horrible withdrawal effects of cigarettes (nicotine withdrawals) and alcohol (muscle spasm) plus health effects this two things have, it's only legal because the government levy heavy taxes on them, Marijuana grows naturally so no way to tax it than make it illegal

Top 10 Drugs and Substances Abused By Nigerians

Drug abuse, is a patterned use of a drug in which the user consumes the substance in amounts or with methods which are harmful to themselves or others. It is also the inappropriate use of substances including alcohol, prescription medication, illegal drugs for purposes such as pleasure, to feel or perform better in certain situations, or to change one’s perception of reality. It is estimated that the average annual retail cost of psychotropic substances in Nigeria is more than USD $15,000, while alcoholic beverages, aside from spirit, generate more than USD $30,000 from sales to a consumer population of about 30 to 35 million people.

There is practically no major city in Nigeria that does not have hide outs or joints or clubs or ram-shackles where young Nigerians gather to buy or use drugs of different descriptions to feel good. However, Northern Nigeria appear to be the worst hit as young people especially girls and young women have latched unto illicit substances in the quest for cloud nine .

A survey conducted by Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the Center for Research and Information on Substance Abuse with technical support from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and funding from the European Union reported that the highest levels of drug use was recorded among young Nigerians between the ages of 25 to 39, with cannabis being the most widely used drug.

Health Complications

Drug and alcohol use impacts nearly every part of your body from your heart to your bowels. Substance abuse can lead to abnormal heart rates and heart attacks, and injecting drugs can result in collapsed veins and infections in your heart valves. Some drugs can also stop your bones from growing properly, while others result in severe muscle cramping and general weakness. Using drugs over a long period of time will also eventually damage your kidneys and your liver.

Infections

When you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you may forget to engage in safe sex practices. Having unprotected sex increases your chances of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. Sharing the needles used to inject certain drugs can give you diseases like hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and HIV. You can also spread common colds, the flu, and mono from sharing pipes and bongs.

Legal Consequences

Drug and alcohol abuse not only has negative effects on your health but can also have legal consequences that you’ll have to deal with for the rest of your life. Many employers require that you take a drug test before offering you a job—many of them even conduct random drug tests even after you become an employee. Refusing to give up drugs could end up making you unemployed, which comes with even more issues.

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol can lead to a suspended driver’s license, usually for 6 months to 2 years. You’ll also need to pay heavy fines and may even spend some time in jail.

Financial Problems

Drugs and alcohol are expensive, especially when you’re using a lot and constantly. Substance abuse also impacts your productivity and success at work and in school. The time spent searching for, using and recuperating from drugs can be better spent learning new skills to advance your career.

The legal issues tied to drug use will increase your bills as well. Your car and health insurance rates may increase and you will have to find a way to pay for arrest warrants, DUIs, and legal counsel.

Injuries and Death

If you use drugs and alcohol, you’re more likely to experience physical injury or be involved in car accidents. Even worse, you also have an increased risk of death through both suicide and homicide.

These drug-related deaths are on the rise, doubling since the early 1980s. Alcohol specifically results in 5.2 million accidental injuries and 1.8 million deaths each year. It’s estimated that 1 out of every 4 deaths is caused by drugs and alcohol, according to the World Health Organization.
