Two young men were arrested last weekend for possessing marijuana, sparking a legal battle as their attorneys prepare to argue for the dismissal of the charges.
The lawyers are seeking complete disclosure from the prosecution regarding the circumstances of their clients’ arrest.
One lawyer has highlighted that his client, a member of the Nyabinghi movement, uses cannabis as a sacrament, suggesting that the charges may not be warranted.
The young man was allegedly transporting the marijuana as part of the recent Cannabis Festival, which featured a unique allowance for public consumption during designated times.
