Yes,but you must 'talk some' with Common Sense. First,it's not the Truth
that even 1percent of Ghanaians Smokes wee/marijuana.(2).This report does not show statistics of Wee related mental or psychiatric illness.
Therefore, it is wrong or could be dangerous to your health to conclude based on this false and Bogus report that marijuana is safe.Know that,it's not for nothing, is banned.Again,some addicts want wee decriminalised that is why they quote the INSANE figure of 61 percent consumers. Use your Common Sense,pls;that means, out of every 10 person in your household including toddlers, kids,youth, and the elders, 6 of them Smoke wee.Or out of every 100 persons of all ages you know in the Community, 60 of them Smoke marijuana. Tell me ; is that possible! Therefore, one can conclude the agenda of those fools who wrote that report.Anyway.

So wher is the Netherlands in the list of marijuana smokers. I'm wondering because the drug is consumed very heavily in that country, to the extent tah one can freely and openly buy them, more so in the so-called 'Coffe-Shops'

The stuff is fully legal in the Netherlands, and I know some people who tour that country purposely for joints so I'm wondering why that country was not even mentioned.

Short: that Reporty is heavily flawed and not reliable.

Depends on how you use it. But it is fair to say that it can be addictive so moderation is key.Whatever the Almighty created can be used by with wisdom.

I would not minced words. Since when was Ghana 1st globally by wee smoking. I dispute that Bogus so called United Nations Report. Ghana was Ranked the 1st and now the 3rd, because No one in authority in the Country would Challenge the Bogus Report. Where in this World do people, including School Children(adolescent) Smoked marijuana more than some of the advanced Countries and the Caribbean Islands. Is just like every Sickness originates from Africa.B'cos the African Scientist(PhD,MSc)would not disagree with the Bogus Report
or come out to inform his own people/ govt, and the World, how the unsuspecting African got infested by the Virus manufactured in advanced foreing nations,if any,and later the powers that be,turned round to Lie to some Stupid African govt(ministry of health through WHO) that there's a looming Flu and therefore the people should get immunized free of charge against the Flu,in disguise to Run Clinical Test on the antidote manufactured by selected Pharmaceautical Company to Test medications on the African to combat the Virus.That was how Tuberculosis(TB), Syphilis, Polio, AIDS, etc, and recently Ebola came about and medications tested. Unfortunately or fortunately, the world has now developed everywhere. Therefore, the African people got the trick with the Ebola!.I have held the idea of a Scientific, Pharmaceutical or Medical Conspiracy within me long time ago,in my personal opinion. Wake Up! educated African,to confirm or refute ill brandings.Anyway.

cannabis has now been
shown to have significant therapeutic value for
a wide range of medical conditions, including
cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis,
epilepsy, glaucoma, lung disease, anxiety,
muscle spasms, hepatitis C, inflammatory
bowel disease, and arthritis pain.
New research has also revealed the mechanism
for these wide-ranging effects. It seems the
active pharmacological components of the
plant mimic chemicals produced naturally by
the body called endocannabinoids. These
chemicals are responsible for keeping critical
biological functions in balance, including sleep,
appetite, the immune system, and pain. When
stress throws those functions off, the
endocannabinoids move in to restore balance .
