What a waste and of useful herb?? Uganda police do u sometimes think about the good of marijuana or u just act fwaaa?? Seriously how could you put all this into waste and u even brag about it??,’ Dave commented.

Police may need some appropriate guidance: stop doing things blindly .You are destroying an essential drug diabetes,cancer,hypertension ,menstrual complications among others.Do some research.Hope u aware some have acquired licence to grow it and the price it earns by international pharmaceuticals is “Gold”, John commented.

But marijuana is allowed in Uganda. The president gave a go ahead to Israelites to grow it that medicine then why arrest ugandans and leave foreigners,’ Lukwago commented.

In my small head I think these just need advise from the government… maybe you buy them out and take over the farm but not arresting them yet some people are legally allowed to do it…Imagine a teacher who lost his job 5 months ago and he’s now been arrested for just,’ Emmanuel commented.
