Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi has called for deep reflection on the development of policies aimed at regulating the legalization of cannabis, since the rest of the world is already adopting strategies to deal with it as a legal plant.
According to Nyusi, who was speaking, on Monday, at the opening of the 3rd High Level Meeting of the Eastern and Southern Africa Commission on Drugs (ESACD), a two-day event taking place in Maputo, “more than cooperation between countries, we need deep studies on how to legalize this plant.”
However, the President warned that the trafficking and illegal consumption of drugs encourages terrorism, taking into account the extreme violence carried out by islamist terrorists in some parts of the northern province of Cabo Delgado.
“Preventing and combating drugs requires coordination between the authorities responsible for enforcing the law on drugs and society. Therefore, the presence of many countries is not just to exchange experiences, but to find mechanisms on how to communicate and work together to this end”, he said.
