Under President Francisco Macías Nguema (1968–1979), who is said to have used cannabis in its edible bhang form, critics counted the drug along with his mental condition and his use of iboga among the factors in the violence of his regime.[1] His critics also alleged he encouraged growing cannabis over other, needed crops — a charge already recorded in the country's 1981 diplomatic-trafficking affair.[1]
