Today morning. Mumbere went for mass in the morning. The mass started off beautifully and everything was going wonderfully until the time of the incense. The Alter boys moved with the incense however they were giggling, and the incense did not smell like it always did. Something about it was different. On coming out of the church, the police arrested the altar boys for putting weed in the incense and everyone in the church is now ‘high’ on weed. Is Mumbere now under the influence?
WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? .
According to the Narcotic and Psychotropic (Control) Act, a person who smokes, inhales, sniffs, or chews any form of narcotic drug or psychotropic substance (like weed) commits an offence and if found guilty by the court, that person can be fined, or imprisoned or both fined and imprisoned. However, given that Mumbere went to church without the intention of smoking weed but rather to pray, and the weed was not his choice but the action of the altar boys, he may not be convicted for smoking the weed.
However, according to the traffic and road safety Act, a person is said to be driving recklessly if they are under the influence of drugs. These drugs include narcotic and psychotropic substances like weed. Therefore, Mumbere should not drive as he would be under the influence of drugs as this would be breaking the laws of Uganda.
