Abstract
The continued criminalization and punitive approaches to cannabis use in Nigeria and elsewhere have not yielded positive expected outcomes. Many countries are now adopting new measures to cannabis control policies that are evidence-based, cost effective prevention, treatment and or interventions in favor of punitive approaches. There is large volume of scientific research supporting the need for decriminalization of cannabis use and put in place laws that prevent harsh criminal penalties for possession of small amount or use. In addition, government should review policies to support research and development of pharmaceutical cannabinoids and promoting research on the medical use of these compounds for the common good of humanity.
