The return of Marijuana – The Sun Nigeria – Medical Marijuana Program Connection

In 1979, I read a novel published by the famous British Novelist – Frederick Forsyth “The Devil’s Alternative” and I quote “Whichever option I choose, men are going to die, this is The Devil’s Alternative “. That was the appalling choice facing The President of USA and other Leaders of the world. It was like a “catch 22” phrase. Where the choice confronting the United States President, was either using a nuclear power to eliminate a megalomaniac Russian Leader or or allowing a section of Europe held under chemical threat to be wiped out.

I was in a similar dilemma metaphorically speaking, two weeks ago, when a student confided in me, that his naughty friends had voluntarily returned to smoking marijuana, after “mkpuru mmiri (methamphetamine), devastated, wasted and killed most of them.

I was both dumbfounded and stunned. I asked rhetorically, do you want me to clap, and commend your friends’ wisdom, of choosing the lesser evil. I told him I suspected he was in the same boat with his so called friends. He denied vehemently. That since mkpuru mmiri dealt with them “gbaas gboos”(whatever that means), that they have all learnt their lessons. That they decided to stick with the lesser evil – marijuana. Imagine the effrontery and buffoonery.

I asked him, whether he knew what marijuana does to the brain and psych. He did not know. Then I told him, on a second thought I decided to revisit marijuana today.
