Smoking weed calms you down, cures some many diseases like malaria, relief pains, feverishness and makes you responsible therefore I dnt see anything wrong with smoking weed. We shd be allowed to even smoke it but not in public just like tobacco. I see nothing wrong with it.

Re: What you need to know about Ghana's legalisati Wee smokers were happy. This is Cannabis Sativa species, generally called hemp. You can smoke it all you like, you will never get high. The Cannabis for wee is Cannabis Indica or Indian Hemp, which is still illegal.

Excuses excuses excuses! This will make policing the use of the illegal version very complicated. So say you get arrested by the police for possession. They'll have to go through rigorous testing to determine the percentage of THC before prosecution.

@ Peter: THE HARD TRUTH! Jute is the fiber that is used to produce the sacks, but the reality is that jute is derived from the plant called sisal hemp. Though I’m not sure if sisal hemp is a form of marijuana, or Indian hemp.

Re: What you need to know about Ghana's legalisati I think we had a jute factory in Kumasi some years back where cocoa sacks were made,, the raw materials were even grown by some outgrower farmers. Can't we re-visit this once vibrant industry once again?

Ghanians don't think for themselves This plant can help so many people in pain but ghanaians are closed minded and listen to the old Europeans. If Ghana was educated on the health benefits and profits things might change. I've seen police and soldiers In Ghana
