FG Should Legalize Cannabis Farming For Interested Nigerians – Don Jazzy

Posted by: Folamidavid in Celebrity News Oct 5, 2019

Popular producer, Don Jazzy has begged the Federal Government to legalise Cannabis farming in Nigeria.

He jumped on his Twitter page recently to make this plea. He wrote that it will be wise for the government to make the business environment conducive for whoever is interested in going into cannabis farming.

His words, “Regulatory bodies can be established at the federal or state level to give licenses and rules to interested weed cultivators who should be made to adhere to enacted guidelines. #VoiceOfTheDon”

He also revealed his surprise at the redundancy and vagueness of the existing drug and narcotics acts in Nigeria.

He continued, “The Dangerous Drugs Act of 1935, the Indian Hemp Act of 1966 and the NDLEA & NAFDAC Act amended in 2004 are very vague and need to be reviewed by the National Assembly. #VoiceOfTheDon”

Do you agree with him?
