In the recent times, there have been calls from different quarters on the need to legalize the use of Marijuana in Nigeria. This legal opinion considers the mischief behind the laws proscribing the production, possession, sale and use of Marijuana and thereafter considers the benefits of legalizing Marijuana in Nigeria.Classified as an illicit drug in many countries, marijuana is outlawed by many governments.
Under the NDLEA Act, which came about by the promulgation of Decree Number 48 of 1989, the possession or smoking of cannabis, or even allowing one’s premises to be used for dealing in cannabis, can result in a prison sentence from 15 years to life. Its precursor, the Indian Hemp Act, was even harsher, carrying a maximum sentence of death.Statistics show that cultivation to transportation and to sales, the marijuana industry connects different cities throughout Nigeria.
Uruguay made history by becoming the first country to legalise cultivation, trade and usage of marijuana in December 2013. In countries as varied as the Netherlands, Germany, Mexico, Peru, and Canada, the emphasis has shifted towards the decriminalization of marijuana. Jamaica, a country where marijuana smoking has long been popular, is set to decriminalize it too.
knowingly possesses or uses the drugs popularly known as cocaine, LSD, heroine or any other similar drugs by smoking, inhaling or injecting the said drugs shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not less than fifteen years but not exceeding 25 years.Similarly, section 7 of the Indian Hemp Act prohibits the use of Indian hemp.From the above provisions, the law proscribes the illegal cultivation, use, sell and possession of Narcotics.
That's one thing with this country. They ban local refineries in the name of illegality. Yet the whole country can't produce a litter. Please why not gather those illegal refiners and equip them properly. Let's start from there. After all Mike Tyson was a street fighter until...
Hackers were ones considered notorious. Big companies later started hiring them to protect and test their networks. So notorius marijuana states can become global leaders is Indian hemp processing. Pls no smoking.
