Marijuana is a herb some belief is medicinal, others believe it's bad for our health when abused.
Reggae-Dancehall artiste Ras Kuuku seems to be part of those who enjoy marijuana and believes it's medicinal. He revealed that, on no day should marijuana be compared to cocoa because it's more beneficial than cocoa.
He told DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa that, he still doesn't know why marijuana has not been legalized in Ghana because the herb is more beneficial and healthy than cocoa thus, the two should not be compared.
"Ghana, we are wasting time you know, compare the price of cocoa to marijuana and you'll know that cocoa is a small boy nowhere close to marijuana. Uganda and other countries are exporting marijuana to Canada, US and other places making millions of dollars. Marijuana is more beneficial than cocoa, we should stop comparing the two. Marijuana is 4,000 times expensive than cocoa"
Kuuku added that, the government is wasting time on imprisoning people who use marijuana instead of legalizing it.
He furthered that, Ghana will make millions of dollars if the herb is legalized.
Ras Kuuku isn't the only artist hoping that marijuana would be legalized in Ghana. Artistes like Fameye, Kwaw Kese, Blakk Rasta just to mention a few are all pushing for the legalization of marijuana in Ghana.
Ras Kuuku is among the Ghanaian artistes who will be performing at Ghana meets Naija 2019 on Saturday 8th June, 2019 at the Accra International Conference Centre. This year's Ghana meets Naija is proudly sponsored by Kpoo Keke.
