NAIJA GANJA supports the adoption of a legally controlled market for marijuana, where consumers can buy marijuana for personal use from a safe legal source. This policy, is generally known as legalization.
NAIJA GANJA supports the removal of all penalties for the private possession of marijuana by adults, including cultivation for personal use, and casual nonprofit transfers of small amounts. This policy, known as decriminalization, removes the consumer -- the marijuana smoker -- from the criminal justice system.
in Nigeria the marijuana prohibition results in the arrest of hundreds of users per year -- far more than the total number of arrests for all violent crimes combined, including fraud, murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault.
decriminalizing marijuana in Nigeria will help in dissociating the use of cannabis from violent and criminal involvements as it is painted by the Nigerian law.
