 The passage of the Marijuana Bill allowing licenses for cannabis cultivation is a significant development that reflects a shift in attitudes towards the regulation of marijuana. While this decision may have its advantages, it is equally crucial to acknowledge the importance of implementing stringent safeguards to prevent the misuse and abuse of cannabis. By incorporating these safeguards into the amended bill, policymakers are demonstrating a responsible approach towards the legalization of marijuana. These safeguards could include measures such as age restrictions, quality control standards, licensing requirements, and regulations on sales and distribution. Striking a balance between facilitating the legal cultivation and use of cannabis while simultaneously addressing public health and safety concerns is of utmost importance. The inclusion of stringent safeguards serves as a proactive step towards mitigating potential risks associated with the uncontrolled consumption of marijuana.

    See, these past 24hours have been very revealing with regards to our music industry here in Ghana. Ghana for years have been taken advantage of mainly because of our default hospitality; it’s allowed for us to be taken for granted. It’s not just our music. It’s a generational problem.
