Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Whatever his intentions, Wajackoyah's populist message regarding the legalisation of marijuana should be taken seriously as it opens the door to a more sensible public discussion of the country's largely borrowed policy on drugs, which to date has been dominated by Bible-and-Quran-thumping religious types.
43% : Previous efforts to have the discussion around marijuana legalisation have gotten little traction.
41% : He has promised to make Kenya one of the richest countries in the world by exporting hyena testicles, snake venom and copious amounts of "ganja" (marijuana).
37% : It is worth remembering that the ban on marijuana and other psychotropic drugs did not originate on the continent.
36% : Already some in the political firmament are taking note of the support he is attracting and talking about decriminalising marijuana as a potent political issue.
35% : This is despite the fact that crops like marijuana had been widely farmed and smoked on the continent before the disaster of colonisation.
