President of Ratasfari Council Gh, Mr. Ahumah Occansey, also known as Daddy Bosco, has noted that Ghana should start considering growing marijuana in commercial quantities to export to countries that have created market it.

He said most European countries including Canada and United States, that have legalized the use of marijuana need it large quantities for medicinal, industrial and recreational use. Ghana can take advantage of these available markets to grow and export marijuana, “Jamaica has been able to navigate the international legal regimes and is able to ship tonnes of cannabis oil to Canada” he revealed.

He suggested that the Ghana Exports Promotion Council (GEPC) should lead the course by advocating and look at ways Ghana can also start growing marijuana in commercial quantities for the purposes of export.

He said it is important that the Director-General of the Ghana Standards Authroity, Prof. Alexander Dodoo and former head of the Narcotics Control Board [NACOB] Nana Akrasi Sappong, continue pushing for the legalization of marijuana use in the country as they have been doing for years.
