226g of ganja never hurt anyone. whats the point of jailing this young man for 10 years? haba. Common sense tells us his life will be wasted because of this harmless act. meanwhile the real thugs and thieves run loose .

Of all the millions of plants on earth, why this one alone. Who has the power to stop someone from using any plant on earth. Marijuana can prevent over 12 cancers. The medical mafia knows this. All we do is to stupidly obey the white man. Please watch "WEED" on you tube. It is about a 12 year old who was cured with this amazing plant. Criminalizing a plant??? Mankind must get serious!

10 American state recently legelise marijuana for recreation use and all 50 us states approve the staff as a medical treatment for so many illness
so why is it that so many folks in Ghana still anti marijuana and why is our govt so ignorant, what will it take for the justice system and the small brain judges to understand that marijuana is a health plant given to us by the almighty god himself

Check the Health benefit of marijuana on Google and YouTube and you will know why the big Pharmaceutical Companies are influencing developing our governments not to legalised because it will bring their businesses down.

The Creator created all things in his wisdom and it was good. but if one of the plants he created is found in someone's possession, you lock the person up for 10 years? because the white man tells us so. but for stealing or assaulting another person it is fewer years? the devil wins, sense is nonsense!

You stupid judge send this poor farmer to jail for 10 yrs. Where in the law do we have that? No doubt the Homeland has no credibility anywhere than the Homeland itself. SHAME,SHAME,SHAME.

I do not approve marijuana smoking in any form;whether conventional or recreational.But to Sentence someone to Serve 10 yrs in Jail,for posession of a little stuff(226 g)is too harsh and un-called for;especially if it's the culprit's first brush with the Law. A 2 months Community Service would have been appropriate.Ghanaian Judges should learn to give a 2nd Chance to minor offences.Again, as part of orientation of Judges,a mandatory tour to about 5 different Prisons in the Country should be the requisite final qualifications to Sit in the Courtroom and also to acquaint themselves with general Conditions in Ghana Prisons to help them make informed decisions. How can a Judge jailed someone 10 yrs for 226 g of marijuana; who will care for the wife and Children,if any,in a Country without a single Social -Welfare Benefit to say the least. Legal Aid-Ghana should appeal the Sentence And if he was not represented in Court, it means the culprit did not have a Fair Trial. Please help this poor man.
