A Kenyan has petitioned the Senate in push for marijuana, popularly known as bhang, to be legalised in the country.
Gwada Ogot, from Siaya County, argues in part that the plant - scientifically known as Cannabis Sativa – has multiple documented benefits.
He says the medicinal and industrial uses of the plant, upon its legalisation, will be of ‘great social and economic gains’.
Section 3 (2) (a) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Control Act lists cannabis as a banned substance.
The law states that possession or personal use of the drug is criminal.
And Ogot wants marijuana expunged from the list and a new law legislated to establish a regulatory body to govern its use.
The petitioner further recommends that all the people serving jail sentences either for possession, cultivation, transportation, sale or use of the plant be granted amnesty.
In supporting his proposals, Ogot argues that as at December last year, several US states and at least 25 countries had decriminalised the use of cannabis.
He further points out that: “The crime and controversy around marijuana emanate from its prohibition and not from the plant itself, its uses or users,”
A compound in marijuana known as cannabidiol (CBD) has been found by scientists as fit for treatment of schizophrenia.

I don’t smoke weed so I neither support nor oppose
Hii Ouru anapitisha one time
ooh! yes ooh! yes… @admin @Deorro please pin this thread as i came back with my encyclopedia of proves,quotes,tests,examines and whatnot to support this motion
Bwana asfiwe. Bwana asfiwe tena. Weed should be legal. When we were at our lowest my colleagues used weed to enable them keep going while I almost dropped out of college and depression threats were real. So there should be that inclusivity, sio health issues to. Hallelujah?
Siku hizi almost everyone in Nairobi smokes weed
Hii petition hata kwa bangi haiwes pitishwa
For medical purposes… yeah, why not? With drugs like morphine… cannabidiol is right in there. But just smoking bhang… not a chance. Haitapita anyways. Kenya is run by Bible thumpers.
I don’t trust bhang smokers. There’s a time in colle I was NFS’ing with my buddy and his bro almost knocks down the door coming in, shouting mad and foaming at the mouth… something about food. Then yells at me: “Nyinyi ndio munanimalizia food kwa hii hao!” The bitch didn’t even know me. Unstable mofos.
OTOH, TBT?
Ikiwa legal…the underworld italoose sana
Who told you? I smoke weed once in while and follow the decriminalization debate around the world. It becomes like any other commodity on sale. Innovation, R&D etc.
