Majority of them are hallucinogenic drugs, while cigarettes are not. Someone seeing or hearing things may be a danger to others 2 Likes 1 Share |

emddi:When you're in need of money and as broke as hell, will you still hug your enemies and smile? When you lose your phone and go to MTN office to retrieve your line but can't because you need to go to court and swear an affidavit, will you still hug your enemies and smile? Let's not even go there, they're many things that can frustrate you in this country. 1 Like |

/ Weed will be legal soon. Oyibo have started legalizing it. So Nigeria will follow soon. Oyibo banned smoking cigarette in public area and thereafter, Nigeria banned smoking in public area. As soon as oyibo people are able to ban cigarette, Nigeria will ban cigarette. Have you seen the trend? We don't lead. We follow. Why is cigarette legal? It is the power of money channeled to politicians through lobbying which is euphemism for bribery. / 3 Likes |

Do not smoke weed but make it in tea form, then, the active part is activated through milk,butter or olive oil. Functions are too much to mention. But in summary, it is absolutely good. Only the backward climes demonize it. 2 Likes |

My cousin who's a SARS operative told me if your dpo hates u and wants ur quick death he will put you with the squad bursting weed smoking joints, that was how he had his leg shot way back 2011. The govt hates what empowers the masses, cigarettes kill the population and makes them weak and easy to govern while weed does the opposite. 1 Like |

josielewa: Men! I can never forget the day I did more than myself and ate weed instead of smoking it. I started remembering scenes from one old soap opera called Mirror in the Sun. In fact, I became one of the characters in the soap opera. The girl I was with wanted to start crying as it seemed I had ran mad...in fact, let's just say I was mad for a few hours. She would ask me a question, and I would respond after like 30 seconds. I looked in the mirror and I scared myself to death...in my mind, I wasn't smiling, but my reflection in the mirror showed I was smiling. I didn't want to fall asleep that night because I thought if I slept in that state I would remain mad forever. My spirit/soul started astral traveling into different galaxes. Damn! It's hard to explain. I would never near weed ever again. And I understand why it still remains illegal. 2 Likes |

xynerise: It will be extremely unwise to make cigarettes illegal. Once done, Al Capone will.rise from the dead. By making it legal, the product can be monitored easily and even taxed. Since few criminals are involved in the cigarette trade- those smuggling it to avoid sin taxes, little is spent chasing criminals. Legalisation has been touted for other dangerous controlled substances such as cannabis and cocaine. If made legal and heavily taxed but sold at a price point able to drive criminals out of business, it will yield lots of cash for governments, free up police manhours and resources used in chasing criminals. The benefits are huge. Already many US states are legalizing consumption of cannabis and in countries like Uruguay and the Netherlands, it is legal. Money raised from taxing it can be used for treating addicts. In countries like Portugal and Switzerland, there is some quasi legitimacy given to drug users carrying little amounts. This has made it possible for these governments to easily manage drug addiction in the country. I am not an addict. Most governments that desire legalization do so out of pragmatism: to reduce crime and manage the drug trade and drug users. |

Cigar and weed are the same . People should stop fooling theirselves saying weed is better because its natural, Beside weed ought to be banned. i dont know why its still legalized,although i believe its somehow medicinal, but it still needs to be banned. |

Read up on politics of tobacco and marijuana. It stems from the futile search of gold by europeans. the adventurers came back with nothing to show from the new world except hemp. They found out that hemp grows in every climate and the people are enjoying the herb consequently the demand for tobacco plummeted as the local people began to plant the herb in their backyard. Tobacco is not ubiquitous to every climate therefore it is more profitable to farmers who are mostly big cooperations. They used their influence to stifle hemp and make it illegal. |
