His remarks were within reaction to the burning of a 40-acre Indian hemp plantation within the Volta Region after agents of the Narcotics Control Payment working with other security firms arrested some four people for cultivating cannabis plus subsequently destroyed the plantation. “How does a nation that needs revenue to send condition operatives to destroy 40-acres of an Indian hemp planting? Do we really know the industrial value of medicinal hemp derivatives? We have time to argue e-levy whilst criminalizing a money cow crop? ” Doctor Asiedu wondered.

After that we found the Cryptolepis alkaloids and their possible we blew it. Today the world is benefiting from the particular extracts and derivatives associated with Cannabis sativa and we are usually busy burning the really stuff. As the son of the plant pathologist and a qualified medicinal chemist, this can make me very upset. We can’t help but inquire, are we dumb or even cursed or both? ” He added.
