The Chief Executive Officer of Hempire Agric Ghana Ltd, HAG, Nana Kwaku Agyemang has told this portal that, a supposed initial investigation attributing the cause of recent accidents on the busy Accra-Cape Coast roads in Ghana to drivers taking substances including toffees made from Indian hemp, is “stupid”.
The obviously livid Nana Agyemang pointed out to mylybnews.com that, “a few days ago a Fireman said initial investigations revealed that some commercial drivers were using cannabis as an enhancement drug to keep them awake for longer periods whilst driving and this was the reason for so many accidents on our roads. Quite frankly I ignored such a stupid report and got on with my life”
He added that, “Today I’ve read this story where prescribed cannabis was given to a man who was suffering from a hyperactivity disorder since he was five years old leading to the Doctors Prescription of cannabis”.
Nana Kwaku Agyemang who is also the President of None Governmental Organization, Hempire Association of Ghana, stressed that, “its worth noting that the cannabis will cool this man down leveling off his hyperactivity leaving him calm and melancholy and not to enhance his ability to stay awake and be active”.
“I really find it obnoxious when these ignorant people talk about something they don’t know”, He lamented.
According to Nana Kwaku Agyemang, “cannabis can never be classified as an enhancement drug because it does exactly the opposite”
“So our idiots should focus more on the locally produced alcohol that is being sold at our bus stations which the drivers purchase as the cause for their inability to drive carefully on the road avoiding accidents” He fumed.
“#ganjafarmer”, he added.
It would be recalled that the Winneba Municipal Fire Commander, Kwesi Huges, who spoke to the media regarding the potential cause of the accidents on that stretch of the road said, “Drivers of these sprinter buses take substances which is an abuse”
Mr. Huges added that, “So their blood is hot. They take in wee toffees; the police can go underground and do investigation to check”
