An Open Letter to NDLEA Chairman Retired Major General Marwa First of all sir, I join others who wish Nigeria well, in congratulating your organization for its spectacular performance in identifying, intercepting, and prosecuting the sellers and traffickers of deadly drugs like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, Tramadol, Rohypnol, Codeine syrup, and other insidious chemicals that destroy lives worldwide. The massive multi-billion dollar cocaine bust in Lagos is still fresh in the collective memory. Secondly, sir, it is enormously encouraging to hear for the first time that you are indeed well-informed about the documented therapeutic benefits of medical marijuana, and are equally aware that nearby African countries are now discarding those archaic colonial-era prohibition laws that have been used to demonize cannabis worldwide for generations thus far while depriving good people of their freedom. It is worthy of note that the addition of deadly mind-altering chemicals like PCP, synthetic THC, and methamphetamine to organic cannabis is the REAL reason that news headlines report instances of young Nigerians running mad after smoking marijuana. Furthermore, it is well known that the primary reason why such deadly additives find their way into cannabis is largely due to the illegality of cannabis which by default allows criminal gangs to control cannabis production, and to poison its harvest in a bid to boost potency using nasty chemicals as additives. In conclusion sir, your leadership role is now more vital than ever before, in facilitating a legislative re-think about the overdue obligation to legalize medical or recreational cannabis growing, sale, and consumption for ADULTS ONLY above the age of 25 years old. A regime of fully regulated and taxed LEGAL cannabis production in Nigeria will generate BILLIONS of dollars for the nation's coffers while removing forever the criminal element from the production cycle of that multi-faceted medical plant called cannabis. The winds of change are blowing in Africa, and Major General Buba Marwa is a man uniquely positioned to lend his weight to the removal of criminal penalties for the cultivation, consumption, sale, and export of medical marijuana in Nigeria. It is high time that Nigeria joins ranks with other enlightened African nations currently reaping billions of investor dollars by legalizing the industrialized production of medical cannabis. South Africa, Malawi, Uganda, Lesotho, Zambia, and Ghana are a few of the other African nations that are now exploring the billion-dollar revenue stream that is assured once cannabis production is fully legalized. Respectfully sir A concerned citizen 3 Likes

Skyview01:The only colonization in Nigeria now is Nnamdi Kanu and Samuel Ekpa subjecting south east and treating them like slaves, Lagos is the most free state and city in Nigeria, that's why all igbos who like a good life run to hide in Lagos from Ipob and ESN enslavement. Nowhere in the world is a people forced to stay indoors and they willing oblige, except south east, this is beyond colonization, it's enslavement. |

tunjijones: laws are not made for the benefit of the masses, they're made to benefit institutions such as the government and corporations. it's a rigged game. but to be fair, the whole "God made marijuana, so it's safe to use" narrative is overplayed. God also made opium too and everyone knows how destructive it can be when misused. |
Re: Marwa: Possession Of Cannabis Is A Crime, But We Do Not Criminalise Ordinary Use by Jakumo(m): 8:12am On Oct 08, 2022 |
Vilgax: This is a very balanced view that you have offered. I love organically grown weed and the smell alone makes me salivate like a rabid dog, BUT I realize that other naturally occurring substances like opium are DEADLY to the human mind and body, despite also being "created by God". Anyone trafficking in cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, PCP, Tramadol, and codeine syrup deserves to be arrested for endangering society thereby qualifying themselves to become guests of the jail system after a fair trial. It is VITAL, however, that a clear line of distinction MUST be drawn between these listed deadly poisons on one hand, in contrast to perfectly safe organically grown medical marijuana that is NOT tainted with chemical additives, on the other hand. With that critical distinction drawn, cannabis in its pure form with no additives can then be recognized for its multiple medical benefits, as a prelude to its complete legalization in Nigeria's very near future. |

yad2eidi: Drink too much of that whisky you love so much, and you will wind up as a medical specimen for anatomy students who will poke at your decayed, alcohol-ravaged liver. Your legally available alcohol is by far the deadliest drug in existence, which is directly responsible for thousands of overdose and car crash fatalities worldwide per year In stark contrast, anyone who smokes too much organically grown cannabis containing NO additives, may laugh a little too freely, eat a little too much, then perhaps sleep a couple of hours longer than usual before waking up feeling rested and refreshed. Not one single marijuana overdose death has ever been recorded worldwide since medical records have been kept. |

CSTRR: It could turn out to be a mistake to presume that Retired Major General Marwa is never going to change his opposition to cannabis. His recent acknowledgment that his agency generally avoids jailing cannabis users is in and of itself a significant indicator that there MIGHT be a change of heart about Nigeria's cannabis prohibition laws right at the very pinnacle of federal legislative power. Ever the tactician, Marwa would be wary of making public statements suggestive of a softening stand on the cannabis legalization question, UNLESS the subject has ALREADY been discussed at length behind closed doors by the presidency. One can only hope that the result of such discussions will be that Nigeria joins the growing list of African nations now reaping multi-million dollar annual tax and export revenue from newly legalized cannabis industries. What is good enough for South Africa, Lesotho, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Uganda, and Ghana, where cannabis is now legalized and taxed, must certainly also be good for Nigeria, whose leadership may well be much closer to repealing cannabis prohibition than anyone could possibly imagine. |

Vilgax: Gbam ! You be correct man. The only cannabis that you can be SURE is NOT spiked with deadly chemicals, is the one you grow with your own hands on your own land, using NO fertilizers, insecticides, or other chemicals before or after harvest.

Jakumo:Marijuana is a mind altering and narcotic substance. It deserves any criminalisation it gets. Any mind altering drug that has the capacity of causing hypnosis has to be strictly prohibited. Those who soften their stance is as a result of topnotch health care system and high literacy level. And Nigeria or any third country is highly illequipped and unprepared to emulate such deliterious changes. |
