Cannabis in Cameroon

Cannabis in Cameroon is illegal; the drug is locally referred to as banga.[1]

Medical usage

In Cameroon, women traditionally crushed cannabis leaves and applied them to the abdomen to relieve the pains of women in labor,[2] inserted cannabis into the vagina to maintain dry friction for their lover, and mixed cannabis with oil as a hair tonic to stimulate growth.[3]

In 2001, the BBC reported that Cameroon would legalize medicinal cannabis, but import its supply from Canada.[4]

Trafficking

Douala Airport and Yaoundé Airport in Cameroon served as transit hubs for cannabis export to Europe, both locally produced cannabis as well as product from DRC and Nigeria.[5]

gollark: Where are the actual incentives in anarchism? It seems that you basically just expect people to embark on giant construction projects and give resources out of the goodness of their hearts or something. In capitalism you actually have a decent direct reason to do that - your company can make more profit if it makes a new silicon fab or something, so you'll get money yourself, and you can get resources from other companies because you both get benefits for trading that way.

gollark: Well, that's just wrong.

gollark: You could do a *bit* of poor-people-saving.

gollark: You could... profit off the crash, trying to mostly take rich people's money, and then donate your newly obtained wealth to the poor?
