Advocates Urge Legalization Of Marijuana In Ghana To Boost Economy— Rasterfarians To Government

Mankessim Baifikrom, Ghana – A passionate plea has been issued by advocates for the legalization of marijuana in Ghana, with a central regional president of the “Resterfarian” group Jah Eddy Bongo calling on the government and security forces to cease arrests and searches of individuals traveling with the substance, then asked government to abolished the law that criminals Marijuana .

The group argues that they are not enemies of the Ghanaian economy and that legalizing marijuana could significantly contribute to economic growth and job creation.

During a “World International Weed or Majuana Day” celebration in the Mankessim–baifikrom Mfantsman municipality, the regional president Jah Ady Bongo, in an interview with Douglas Oyiboh Amponsah, addressed the pressing concerns faced by those who use or cultivate marijuana.

“We are not enemies to the Ghanaian economy,” the president stated, emphasizing that “every economy to grow up ‘weed’ take part.”

The advocates are appealing directly to the government, specifically mentioning H.E. John Dramani Mahama, to consider legalizing marijuana.

They believe that this move would not only boost the economy but also provide employment opportunities for the youth through farming, especially if the necessary incentives are provided.

A significant point of contention highlighted by the Resterfarians is the constant harassment they allegedly face from the police while traveling.

“The most painful and stressful or difficult things happened to Rasters when their traveling to some places police harassment and is to high whenever they saw them,” Mr Eddy bongo the president lamented.

They are urging for greater “space and freedom of expression” and are calling on the government to release individuals currently in police custody for marijuana-related offenses.

The group’s message is clear: they seek a shift in policy that recognizes the economic potential of marijuana and alleviates the current pressures faced by its proponents.

The organizer of the Rasterfarian group of Central region.

In a heartfelt and urgent appeal, Mr. Jah Emma, the organizer for the central regional Rasterfarian group, has directed a powerful message to the “getho boys,” urging them to protect their reputation and well-being by steering clear of dangerous substances.

The group is particularly concerned about the practice of adding harmful adulterants to marijuana, which they believe can lead to severe mental distress and destructive behavior.

Mr. Emma and his fellow Resterfarians are also calling on parents to re-evaluate their perceptions of marijuana.

They contend that the notion that marijuana inherently leads to madness is a misconception.

Drawing upon their spiritual beliefs, they assert that “God didn’t create anything to destroy people’s lives,” referencing the sentiment found in Matthew 7:9.

Instead, they implore parents to guide their children away from the consumption of truly detrimental substances such as tramadol, cocaine (referred to as “red 🔴 Cocaine”), and D10, which they identify as the primary culprits urge behind severe psychological and physical harm.

Furthermore, the Resterfarian group is actively lobbying the government for the legalization of marijuana.

Their argument is rooted in the belief that marijuana, when used responsibly, can serve as a catalyst for increased productivity and hard work.

They point to other countries where, they claim, marijuana is utilized to foster national growth and development.

Their message is clear: instead of succumbing to the myth of marijuana-induced madness, individuals should be encouraged to embrace a healthier path, guided by accurate information and a focus on avoiding genuinely destructive intakes.

This initiative seeks to foster a more informed and responsible approach to substance use within the community.

Some Individuals and groups in Mankessim Baifikrom are appealing to the government and law enforcement to stop harassment, particularly during travel.

They are also advocating for the legalization and support of cultivation to boost the economy and create jobs for young people.

A key part of this plea includes seeking legal reforms to protect Rastafarians from what they describe as ongoing harassment and arbitrary arrests related to their beliefs and there should be a freedom of it and release colleagues in police custody just because of Marijuana or “Weed”
