Samoa's PM, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi has said no to medical marijuana for his country
“There is no reason for us to do such a senseless thing,” Tuilaepa told local broadcaster TV1.
He said marijuana was legalised in Saipan for medical purposes and the place of cultivation of the crop could only be accessed by Police of that country.
In Samoa, hardly a week goes by without a marijuana-related matter going before the court.
Possession of near completed joint have been known to land the possessor with a two-week jail sentence.
Decades of jailing smokers and growers have failed to stop use of marijuana.
