Marijuana was tamed illegal in US federal law. But, Joe Biden, the US president, on October 6, pardoned all federal offenders convicted of “simple possession” of marijuana.
He had said:
“As President, I will decriminalize cannabis use and automatically expunge prior convictions.”
The launch coincided with Miami Carnival all-day celebration.
The launch comes as Nigeria debates the notion of legalising cannabis for business and medicine.
