Wacha tuambiane ukweli leo, weed will never be legalized in Kenya.
We're more closer to legalizing prostitution than weed.
Just look at the rate people are nominated as a result of sexual favours!๐ #LegalizeIt pic.twitter.com/qeyPCVMDn7— ping pong official ๐ฐ๐ช (@pauliddiali) August 2, 2019

Eradication of poverty and diseases is our main agenda as a country, farming weed for export, local consumption and health matters will significantly reduce the two monsters. Yes we can. @Railajunior @BabuOwino1 @citizentvkenya @ntvkenya #LegalizeIt pic.twitter.com/MWt4BWP268

#LegalizeIt not just cancer, marijuana has been tested and proven for it's efficacy in treating depression.

Legalizing weed will make it more available to underage kids and hence breed more problems in the society than we can handle. Wacha ibaki kuwa illegal. You can always have it in silence man.

Cigarettes is one of the risk factors that causes cancer yet it's smoked here like our life depends on it, weed is illegal yet it cures cancers, its time we face these facts head on and #LegalizeIt

Did the doctors treating Laboso, K. Okoth, B. Collymore, J. Kanini, or Nderitu Gachagua among others recommend marijuana to them? Stop the hysteria. Let the medics & researchers debate it. Medical legalization by number of tweets a hashtag gets doesn't solve anything. #LegalizeIt

Jamaica is a very peaceful nation with a stable economy, rare corruption cases and very free from cancer. They have the best music artists and their youths will never torment the streets with riots. Mzee Kenyatta was a Rasta.@MikeSonko #LegalizeIt pic.twitter.com/ZZBOeAeGWC

Herb can boost Kenya's agricultural sector if legalized and planted in plenty for export #LegalizeIt

Those rooting for #LegalizeIt are some of the drug lords in Kenya and they just want what they do in secret to be recognized as a business venture so that they can be free to open up shops. Its always about the money. No one cares. Sonko
