This is not the right time for Malaysia to allow open use of ganja as it is prone to abuses, especially among youngsters, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar says today. He said police would not support such an idea because users were taking ganja as the first step before switching to more dangerous drugs. "In our view, this is not the right time to be liberal about taking ganja because we know there are many youngsters who are abusing it. "They use it to migrate to other stronger drugs. At the same time, I believe this is also against many religions, not just Islam," Khalid told reporters after a function in Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur, today. "We don't support this. The police stance on this matter is clear, in fact, we are also against possession and use of ganja." However, he said, if there was evidence that ganja contained medical benefit, it should be taken under the supervision of a medical officer. "If indeed it is for medicinal purposes, it should be regulated. Not to be used indiscriminately and approval needs to come on the advice of a medical officer. "Morphine is also being used as medicine, but with strict control. If it is true ganja also has such quality, then it must be done properly." – February 24, 2016. MORE TO COME ]]>
