Nairobi County leads in the country’s consumption of psychoactive drug cannabis, ‘weed’ or bhang, according to a National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) report.
According to the findings of the NACADA survey, ‘bhang’ ranked fourth among the most abused drugs in the country, trailing only alcohol, tobacco, and khat.
According to the report, Nairobi has the highest rate of use at 6.3 percent, followed by Nyanza at 2.4 percent and Coast and Eastern at 1.9 and 1.5 percent, respectively.
According to the report, the national prevalence of cannabis use is 1.9 percent.
Cannabis use was found to be highest in men, at 3.9 percent, with women coming in at 0.3 percent.
According to NACADA, online sales of alcohol and other drugs have increased drug abuse in the country, complicating the fight against substance abuse.
Among NACADA’s recommendations to combat the scourge is a proposal to amend the ADCA 2010 and the Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act, 1994.
NACADA hopes that this will address emerging supply suppression challenges such as online sales and marketing of alcoholic beverages, drugs, and other substances of abuse.
Niko among top 1% of weed smokers (in terms of consumption) in this shithole of ours. Half the time I’m stoned like a ma’fucker na ajabu ni ati mraia uko nje hawajawai shikanisha. I’ll be up and about tripping balls conducting business with them niggers … and I seen nobody even give me the eye. Bhangi ni dawa hata mtaa majuu niko na medical marijuana card … mine is kinda medical condition. Ata sahii niko on my second joint … jioni ni ma blunts na mama pole pole.
Bhangi yote inauzwa hapa Kenya ni ya Malawi na Mozambique pia kiasi kidogo kutoka NW Tanzania, Lake Victoria Islands na Siaya . Hiyo mnadanganya ati ni Ethiopian Shashamane (“shash”) ni promotional gimmick.

True, some bhang is grown in Eth but not in the quantities coming to K.
