11 years is too harsh Mr Judge. Please use your head in passing judgement cos this lady has kids. A shorter sentence of 2 years would have been better in my books. Most times, these drinks are patronized by police officers as well so the law should also find a way of dealing with the consumers

This woman is trying to make a living and support her family. Ghana must do away Marijuana laws. Nobody should serve time for carrying or distributing Mary Jane.

Oh why Ghana judges, eleven years for that offence is just too harsh for a mother of nine. Is the state going to be responsible for her children while she is behind bars for eleven years? Think again Mr. Judge.

How can someone generalize and call Ghanaian judges stupid when that person cannot even spell stupid correctly? Must we always insult to make our voices heard? I do not agree with the 11years though because I think it's too harsh but that doesn't mean I should insult the judge. For all you know he could be older than I am.

11 years for cannabis is too harsh. 1 year of community service is a good punishment for such an office. This judge needs his head examined

11 YEARS FOR SELLING AKPETSHIE LACED WITH WEE.THIS IS MADNESS.No wonder our prisons are spilling over with convicts committing petty crimes.Will the judge sentence a public servant who has stolen state money to 11 years?It is always the small 'fishes' who are always at the receiving end.The woman should appeal against her sentence.

What is wrong with this man of a judge, by sentencing this poor lady to such sentence. Does he actually know the meaning of forgiveness,worshipping our creator, after all, here was made by God for man. Evil judge does he think by behaving in such manner the Chief Justice will elevate him to the Supreme Court? This is evil personified. Wicked soul. You shall surely burn in he'll.
