The man gets 18 months in jail for smoking weed or wee as we may call it in Ghana.
Ghana's justice system is not a justice system in my opinion. Someone smokes weed and does not cause any harm to anybody whatsoever, yet he gets 18months in prison.
As someone said above, you have drunk drivers killing people all over the country and they are walking around free. There are so called doctors performing illegal abortions (and i dont think there is a legal abortion, cause they are all causing deaths to precious lives), walking freely and people admire these doctors, because they have some title.
That is his life. If the man decides to smoke wee and dont harm anyone what is the crime he's committing and to whom is he committing this crime ?
Have we sat down and done a good research on the benefits of the herb we call wee? or we just follow what some body in their country have said, regarding the herb.
This is insane. Release the man from prison now.

As a mental health practitioner, my heart bleeds when i read reports like these. The man needs help and support through psychoeducation groups or1:1 not jail. Where are our policy and law makers in Ghana? Sending him to jail will not change his behaviour for the better!! We must educate people and find out why people smoke weed in order to help them.

"the accused had developed the habit of smoking the banned substance despite the several efforts by the family to stop him". Oh it's all about illiteracy.

These are some of the articles that really irritates some of us, hennep / harsh falls under soft drugs for medical use. Addiction means finding a solution for him instead dumping of him in cell amidst criminals. 18 months does just not correspond with his smoking habbits.And yes what does this got to do with familly members. These familly members should have helped him instead of pushing that far into the cell.
Do some of the judges and state know what is included in paracetamol, sedatives and drips?
GHANA some of us should wake up ......

Get rid of these stupid sentences. Why should we feed somebody for 18 months in our prisons for smoking wee. Can anyone see any sense in the sentencing.
