He said the nation cannot afford to mortgage the lives of the citizens for financial gains by legalizing cannabis.
Marwa, made the observation in response to earlier calls by Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu for the legalization of cultivation of Cannabis Sativa in the country.
While addressing journalists in Abuja, the nation’s capital ahead of the 2021 World Drug Day, Marwa said it is not acceptable to NDLEA and that the agency will continue to burn down marijuana farms and prosecute whoever is caught doing the business.
He, therefore, said such calls by the Ondo State Governor and some legislators must be resisted at all cost.
The NDLEA Chairman also reiterated his suggestion to have politicians subjected to drug testing before they are allowed to contest for elective positions.
