Africa Cannabis Association has a membership of 300 youths from Meru, Nyeri and Nairobi.
Ms Muriithi said cannabis oil has been hailed by some countries as a wonder drug.
Last year, a biochemist wrote to the National Assembly seeking the licensing of at least 150,000 farmers to grow bhang.
A lobby group that seeks to put pressure on the government through the National Assembly to legalise bhang owing to “its healthy supplements and environmental conservation” benefits to Kenyans has been formed.
The association known as Africa Cannabis Association with a membership of 300 youths from Meru, Nyeri and Nairobi, aims to agitate for the legalisation of marijuana, protection of farmers from exploitation by buyers upon legalisation and campaign to have Kenyans change their attitude on bhang.
