People in Vanuatu’s capital have the opportunity to say whether marijuana should be decriminalised, as part of the Vanuatu Law Society’s Law Week.
One of the event’s main organisers, Arthur Faerua, says there are many different activities taking place to publicise the role of lawyers and the law in his country.
But he says public debates on marijuana and sex work will test people’s appetite for their legalization.
“We cannot help but accept the fact that marijuana is now widely used in Vanuatu, especially in the towns, and young people have access to marijuana, marijuana grows naturally in Vanuatu, but of course the laws in Vanuatu are not able to deal with marijuana as such and the court system is not able to deal entirely with the problem of marijuana.”
Arthur Faerua says rehabilitation and education are the solutions to the problem of marijuana.
