Bees and cannabis? There’s more to the story. 🐝🌿

Research from Cornell and other scientists has found that flowering industrial h**p can provide an important late-season source of pollen for bees — at a time when other floral resources are becoming scarce.

One study recorded 16 bee species visiting h**p, while another found 23 bee genera using flowering h**p for pollen.

It doesn’t produce nectar, but its abundant pollen could make h**p a valuable part of landscapes supporting pollinators.

Cannabis has a surprisingly important relationship with the natural world. 🌱🐝

Botswana 🇧🇼 is expanding its economy beyond diamonds by promoting the cultivation of medical cannabis and industrial h**p.

President Duma Boko has made the sector a key part of the country's economic strategy.

Successful trials by the National Agricultural Research and Development Institute (NARDI) have shown the crops can support a climate-resilient industry.

With regulations now in place, Botswana is preparing for commercial production, manufacturing, and exports.

The initiative is expected to create jobs, attract investment, strengthen agriculture, and give local businesses new opportunities in emerging markets.

It’s all by design but all their lies, deceit and war against this beneficial plant and the citizens over the years didn’t work well enough. The genie is out of the bottle and there is no turning back.

Only thing left to do is to take (not ask) our rights back and keep educating the population about this wonderful plant that can do so much for us all.

The Windhoek High Court on Thursday declined to decide whether the criminalisation of cannabis is unconstitutional.

The court said the matter is still being reviewed by government and Parliament.

Judge Claudia Claasen ruled that it would be premature for the court to intervene while government ministries are working on possible reforms to the country's drug laws.

The case was brought by Brian Jaftha, President of the G***a Users of Namibia and the Rastafari United Front, and Borro Ndungula, Secretary General of the G***a Users of Namibia.

The two argued that adults should be allowed to use cannabis and that the laws banning it violate constitutional rights. They said they use cannabis for recreational, medicinal, spiritual and religious purposes.

They also argued that the ban on cannabis cannot be justified and infringes rights such as equality, freedom of religion and cultural expression.

However, the government opposed the application.

The Ministry of Health said cannabis is classified as a controlled substance because of concerns about its harmful effects. Officials told the court that government policy is aimed at protecting the public from harm associated with drug abuse.

The court heard that cannabis can currently be used for medical and scientific purposes only under strict controls and with the necessary authorisation.

The government also informed the court that several reviews and reforms are already underway. The Law Reform and Development Commission is reviewing laws relating to cannabis.

Judge Claasen found that the issues raised involve public health, law enforcement and social-policy matters that are currently under consideration by government.

The judge said decisions on whether cannabis should be decriminalised, legalised or remain prohibited are primarily matters for the executive and legislative branches of government.

Another missed opportunity! We could be manufacturing affordable, prefabricated, carbon-negative housing from locally produced raw materials, but unfortunately Namibia is running on Colonization V2.0 and the shadow government of ruling elites that was established and continues to be maintained by imperialists who are eating their bellies fat from the mineral resource they continue to greedily extracting from Africa don't want Namibians to be independent, healthy or happy. They need us to be afraid, ignorant and miserable so we can continue cleaning their yards, washing their cars, raising their children and operating their businesses until they have developed a substitute for the working class. And those elected to lead us and look out for our best interests? SPOILER ALERT: They don't give a 💩 about us! They deny us our medicine and build themselves luxury hospital VIP wards with our tax money while they send their police into our homes to come violate our constitutional rights. They continue to imprison Namibian despite knowing that cannabis is a medicine. They will rather let you drink alcohol and smoke ci******es that kill Namibians on a daily basis. Human rights in Namibia is a joke! WAKE UP! Your minds are still colonized!
