@Mrskirmishes asked:

Are we producing medicinal/industrial ganja at the moment in Ghana?

@EveliaMamaga said in jest:

Cos I'm a ganja planter. Call me the ganja farmer

@niiwadey said:

Boss, there is nothing exciting about this considering how we all know how corruption is going to mess this up. You don’t start a fire you can’t quench

@NoamesiVon stated:

There should be a designated entity to buy this ganja from it farmers, by so doing there will be very little need to sell it to individuals who may use it for their own agenda or tend to abuse them. We need to create a clear-cut channel or a value chain for such.

@BhimModric pleaded:

Please do employ me to partake in your farming business please @johndumelo
