Which one is ordinary use again

How can I use it, if I don't own it?

True! Guys used it for intimidation

IamSainted:

Marijuana is a mind-altering and narcotic substance.
It deserves any criminalization 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 top-notch health care systems and high literacy levels.
And Nigeria or any third country is highly ill-equipped and unprepared to emulate such deleterious changes.

I certainly agree that cannabis is NOT for everyone, and is best never touched by people having previous histories of mental instability, lest they be triggered into psychosis. Furthermore, some of the current ultra-potent 30% THC strains of weed that have been bred for psychoactive intensity could put the fear of God into the hearts of seasoned smokers previously accustomed to milder and tamer varieties. The existence of such user-specific caveats does not however rise to the level of constituting a legal basis for retaining Nigeria's colonial-era cannabis prohibition laws, particularly in light of the numerous documented medical and economic benefits derivable from this multifaceted plant called marijuana.

Alcohol is directly responsible every single year for thousands of avoidable deaths due to simple overdose, car crashes, violence, and liver cirrhosis, among other painful ways to go. Despite these grim statistics, alcohol is 100% legal in all non-Islamic countries on this planet. The few purported medical benefits of moderate alcohol indulgence pale in comparison to the astronomical and devastating toll on humanity wrought by the RECKLESS consumption of alcohol that is legally purchased over the counter worldwide.

Though also 100% legal to purchase worldwide, cigarettes are extremely poisonous to the human body and have ZERO medical benefits whatsoever to cite. The enormous death toll from cigarette smoking is well known. Lung cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, mouth cancer, and myriad other avoidable but deadly ailments, all loom large in the dwindling lives of cigarette and tobacco smokers, who eventually die gasping for air.

In some parts of Nigeria where the useful function of vultures is not appreciated, a single cigarette soaked in water overnight is poured on dead animals for the vultures to eat. The birds die the same day after ingesting even the tiniest trace amount of NICOTINE, one of the deadliest poisons known to man, which also happens to be the prodigiously addictive component of cigarette tobacco that ensnares smokers till death do they part, with that lighter.

On the other side of the coin lies the historically vilified plant called cannabis, over which many thousands of productively employed citizens lost their freedom in jail, yet which has now been discovered to contain a pharmacological cornucopia of unique compounds proven to be consistently efficacious in addressing a wide spectrum of human ailments without perceivable side-effects. For the record, medical archives have yet to identify one SINGLE overdose death from cannabis ingestion since the advent of record keeping decades ago.

Much to the contrary, millions of gravely ill patients have found relief, healing, and even longevity itself, thanks to the judicious ingestion of medical cannabis derivatives. For years Israel has led lead the developed world in the field of medical marijuana research, and it is there that cannabis extracts have been found to mitigate the symptoms of numerous cancers while reinvigorating the degraded appetite of chemotherapy patients, among other notable therapeutic applications of medical marijuana that are being refined and optimized in that nation.

Like Nigeria's Presidency, the NDLEA Chairman Major General Buba Marwa has long been aware of the need to reform Nigeria's drug laws so as to decriminalize unadulterated organically grown cannabis, thereby freeing up precious resources for the ramped-up interdiction of heroin, Tramadol, cocaine, PCP, methamphetamine, and Rohypnol, all of which can all prove lethal after one SINGLE ingestion.

If any dangerous drugs are to be made illegal, a good start would be to ban cigarettes, tobacco, and alcohol, while legalizing medical marijuana. Frankly, the world would be a much safer and healthier planet if those twin poisons of tobacco and alcohol were to be outlawed forever and removed from the legal market as a mandatory public health initiative.

As if the theses law enforcement agencies aren't the one actually abusing these drugs

Exactly.....Openly.

Don't you hear English, it means smokers and dealers are treated differently by NDLEA. The decriminalization process of ordinary users starts from here, which is good for our criminal justice system. Police need to go after crime and the bad guys, not waste time chasing smokers, smokers need rehabilitation not prosecution.

Sazzy07:

They don't want you to use it, but they won't waste time and resources chasing smokers. They don't want you to smoke it, they don't want it available, so they go after dealers, which make sense.

tunwumi:
Legalizing marijuana in Nigeria will be policy summersault. If we have people who can not reason easily but will think a con video with a label is truth and they have be living in " they said" for decades, marijuana will just be the nail on their coffin.

Infact with the ban, I think marijuana is what those people use as a flavour in their food which made their thinking shallow. With full release then, it can become water sterilizer for many.

Yeah..
Marijuana is the cause of every problem in this shithole..

Put your lighters in the sky
Tell the government legalize marijuana

I was being rhetoric. I stay close to these slums. My oga, if they catch you smoking just one wrap, get ready to bail yourself with at least 70k. It happened even just this week Monday

Maybe cos the area is a black spot... otherwise that's too much.

It's not. I've seen worst places. But the mega dealers always have information, and will disappear during raids. Though they get arrested once a while

Nothing connected with cannabis should be a crime if alcohol’s perfectly-legal (which it should be). It’s time this nonsensical war against drugs (and cannabis is a plant more than anything-else) came to an end. They do more harm than the substances themselves.

How

Is this Marwa the former governor of Lagos state?

FalseProphet1:
Anytime I see this man, I immediately remember the good old days in lagos. The days of operation sweep, those days when you can walk on the streets of lagos by 2am without any fear of being mobbed by urchins. Nigeria will be great again.

This I have seen.

Be like you done pass 40 years oh

That's true, it doesn't make sense that cannabis is illegal, while alcohol isn't, but it causes way more health issues than cannabis. People need to relax somehow, and I think marijuana is not the worst option in that case. After reading this page, I learned that there are various strain, and some of them don't even cause psychoactive effect, so I think something like that should be legal.
