Cannabis/weed Should Be Legalized Says Koffi Anan Former UN Sec Gen by diasporaman(m): 7:01am On Feb 26, 2016 |
Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan is pushing for the legalization of cannabis and other personal drugs. However, he said regulations must be put in place by governments to curtail abuse. “And therefore, the fourth and final step is to recognize that drugs must be regulated precisely because they are risky. It is time to acknowledge that drugs are infinitely more dangerous if they are left solely in the hands of criminals who have no concerns about health and safety. “Legal regulation protects health. Consumers need to be aware of what they are taking and have clear information on health risks and how to minimize them. Governments need to be able to regulate vendors and outlets according to how much harm a drug can cause. The most risky drugs should never be available “over the counter” but only via medical prescription for people registered as dependent users, as is already happening in Switzerland,” the illustrious son of Ghana said in an article. http://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Legalise-cannabis-Kofi-Annan-418025?channel=A1

When it comes to weed consumption Nigerians are still learning when compared to Ghanaians. No wonder they say bob Marley's wife is from there. |
