Now, in a lenghty thread on Twitter, the Mavin records boss writes passionately telling the FG about the health and immense economic benefits that could be dereived if Cannabis is legalised.

See his tweets below:

Isn't it laughable that health-edangering cigarettes are still legal in the same country where Cannabis is illegal? When exactly are we going to join the booming global cannabis industry and trade? #VoiceOfTheDon pic.twitter.com/ckLEtHpV5A

Should we now let that stop us from seeing other benefits of this plant? One of the most important cannabinoids found in Cannabis is Cannabidiol, which can be supplied as CBD oil. #VoiceOfTheDon pic.twitter.com/vcjyHxkXmB

This isn't to say that THC doesn't also have its positive effects which includes increased appetite, pain relief, sleeping aid e.t.c but abuse of it causes memory loss, coordination problems and it can also induce schizophrenia. #VoiceOfTheDon pic.twitter.com/FURm1fqrj2

The best extraction method is done by adding CO2 liquid to d plant and allowing d constituents to separate under d right temperature and pressure. The successful separation of THC from Cannabis has allowed for medical use of marijuana in many countries overseas. #VoiceOfTheDon

It won't only help the economic development of the country, it will also create jobs for many Nigerian youths adding to 64,389 jobs the Cannabis industry created in 2018 as reported by Leafly and Whitney Economics. #VoiceOfTheDon pic.twitter.com/hIQnBDW65b

In Nigeria, we spend 100s of bns annually on imported tobacco products and that can be very injurious to our economy in the long term. #VoiceOfTheDon

How can we achieve this legally? I might not be a student of law but I can at least give my opinion here. I think there are so many conflicting laws on Cannabis legislation. #VoiceOfTheDon

Maybe Drugs and Cannabis can be moved to the concurrent list in the constitution, so that state houses of assembly can legislate on them just like in the United states. #VoiceOfTheDon pic.twitter.com/XZl64sNgj2

With the global cannabis industry projection of about $200 bn earnings by 2030, it would be advisable for Nigeria to make hay while the Sun shines. #VoiceOfTheDon pic.twitter.com/tyf8udQBBn
