Musa Says He Expected Pushback on Marijuana Bill


Jul 7, 2021
Kareem Musa
Following its presentation in the House of Representatives last week Friday, the conversation on the legalisation of marijuana as an economic opportunity has been getting pushback from various sectors, including the churches. Today, the media caught up with Minister of New Growth Industries Kareem Musa, who introduced the bill in the House. He says that the reaction was expected, but he believes the benefits of allowing cultivation, production and sale of ganja outweighs the cons.
 
Kareem Musa, Minister of New Growth Industries
“I totally respect the view of the churches. I am certainly not surprised by the position that they have taken and have been vocal about, in particular Pastor Wade; it is no secret how he feels about it. But at the same time, I come from a generation that can see the advantage of the economic upturn from something like this. Like I keep saying, we already have legislation in place since 2017 that made ten grams legal for you to have in your possession. But what that actually created was an entire irresponsible scenario whereby we don’t know where exactly you are to get this from – you can’t grow it and you certainly can’t buy it – and so it is just taking advantage of that. And I don’t really it as a religious issue.”
