Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a Ghanaian politician and member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), said that Indian Hemp may soon be legalized in the country.
In a recent tweet he published on his verified social media account on the well-known social media site, Twitter, he dropped this hint.
The post that he made reads;
“Soon, parliament permitting, a whole new economy will emerge in Ghana from Indian hemp which now has a HIGH demand for medicinal, cosmetic and industrial uses. Eg. Guyanese govt dedicating tens of thousands of hectares to the business. We can’t lose out!”
Some reactions the post got are;
@alluggi – Wonder who/which firms will be granted licenses in Ghana to farm/produce for medicinial purposes .. We patiently wait !!!
@mariagorettiane – Glad the country is waking up to the realities and the evidence . We have spoken saaa , advocated saaa but the holier than thous in Ghana keep telling us cannabis is evil blabla , I’m happy Ghana is waking up now . Cannabis has a lot of therapeutic benefits , let’s tap into it
@der_ricko – Am currently developing a product which includes the herb as a grandmother used to grind the seed to treat some things but just can’t market it because of the prohibition. God given 🌱
