Ogah Osuagbo I<\/strong><\/p>\n

NENE
\nOGAH Osuagbo I, Chief of Great Ametafor in the Shai Osudoku Traditional Area in
\nAccra, has appealed to the government to establish an Indian Hemp Industrial
\nPlant for them as part of the One-District One-Factory (1D1F) policy.<\/p>\n

According
\nto the chief, who is in charge of external relations, diplomacy and development
\nfor the Osudoku Traditional Area, the land of the area is fertile for the
\ncultivation of Indian hemp known in local parlance as Wee, for which reason he
\nwants a factory to be established there for the processing of the hemp to ease
\npoverty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI
\nwant to seek permission from you to use this platform to provoke a thought; a
\nthought which many Ghanaian knew is the obvious way to go but for fear of name-calling
\nand populist backlash, they are unwilling to speak to it openly,\u201d the chief
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod
\nin his omnipotent wisdom upon creating all things found that they were good\u2026and
\ndeclared that we use the properties of flora as food and medicine. Scientific research
\nalso alludes to many benefits that could be derived from harnessing and
\nultilising plants for food and industrial use,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlants
\nlike Ghana hemp (Marijuana) also have very high medicinal or industrial uses,\u201d
\nhe stated.<\/p>\n

Nene
\nOsuagbo I made these remarks during the matriculation ceremony of Dr. Nyakotey
\nCollege of Holistic Medicine in Tema last Friday. <\/p>\n

\u201cGhana
\nHemp farmers are agri-business men and women who are into job creation and
\npoverty reduction. They are not \u2018ganjar\u2019 smokers. Tobacco farmers are not
\ncigarette smokers. Licensed importers and manufacturers of guns are not armed
\nrobbers, etc.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe
\nprotocol which resulted in the successful establishment of the Atomic Energy
\nPlant and the school of Nuclear Allied Sciences of the College of Basic and
\nApplied Science of the University of Ghana at Kwabenya are sufficient pointers
\nto the fact that we can comfortably accommodate a Ghana Hemp Industrial Plant
\nand a School of Hemp and Allied Integrative Medical Studies which I know the benefits
\nfar outweigh the temporary associated health hazards,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He
\nwas of the view that persons suspected to be smoking Indian hemp do so not
\nbecause of the hazards but they wanted to derive health benefits such as energy
\nbooster, stimulants, concentration, mental alertness, among others. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf
\nwe harness these essential indicators of the plants and put them out there as
\nmedicines and regulate their intake or application, we can then reap the
\nbenefits according to God\u2019s plan,\u201d he indicated. <\/p>\n
