Raila Odinga Junior is not the first to call for the legalization of bhang after National Super Alliance (NASA) Strategist David Ndii revealed he smoked the substance a lot at a young age saying It has proven therapeutic value and should be made available for general use.
“Why is marijuana illegal? Consumption of marijuana is a victimless crime. It has proven therapeutic value, while tobacco is a proven carcinogen that harms both the smoker and third parties through second hand smoke, yet cigarette smoking is legal but marijuana is criminalized? Is it perhaps because, as I opined in the Twitter debate, tobacco is a big global capitalist enterprise, but everyone can roll their own joint?” Ndii Said.
The renowned economist says cigarettes are more harmful but governments have legalized them because of the big companies running them.
