How long are you going to play this fake saint role? Cultivate it and legalize it in Sri Lanka too.

Approval should not be granted at all for ganja cultivation. This is another ploy to destroy the nation.

Approve it already. It's got 10,000 year history. Influenced in religion, art, drama, a number of inventions and education. In tiny doses, it's an excellent medicine and will put petroleum medicine out of the window.

We should market Bandula Gunawardena as a cure for constipation. It would only require a bottle with his picture in it. Every time I see his face I get the s..ts ! If ever there was a person who should be keeping Mullakheliya company in prison; it’s this thief and low life scumbag.
