Marijuana thrives very well in all parts of the country and so people engage in the cultivation a lot and that is why we have more of it on the market.” Maame Serwah noted.
“When you compare it to cocaine, you will realise that cocaine is not that much on the market because it requires a lot of money to bring cocaine into the country.”

Marijuana has been banned and cannot be legalised and so we are appealing to the general public to devote information to us on who and where the drugs are being cultivated for the security operatives to deal with them.“If the production or cultivation is not done, people will not get it to consume and so we are looking for those cultivating, the barons, to arrest and so we are appealing to the public to assist us in this agenda.” She addressed.
