I write to express my disgust at those who are peddling the concept of medicinal cannabis industry in Fiji.
This will be a dangerous precedent established in Fiji. Generations to come will deeply regret this decision.
At the outset, it is being promoted as a very private affair to meet the world demand for medicinal cannabis.
This is a sheer load of rubbish to hoodwink the gullible people of Fiji. Once the genie is out of the can no one will be able to control it.
The youth will be decimated and hit rock bottom as the addiction spreads. Even the farmers who will work the farm will be heavily affected by the fumes given out by the plants.
Parents, teachers and religious organisations must unite to oppose this most dangerous industry.
No sweet talk should sway you.
The future of your children is at stake and you cannot gamble with that.
The landowners will demand their fair share from the industry.
Will Government be able to stop that? No, it certainly cannot! Cannabis will become a social termite and eat the society from within.
It will be too late to moan and groan then.
Act now!
It is my fervent hope that good sense will prevail and we as a country will not embark on this dangerous journey.
