Wanlov Da Kubolor has a lot to say about the current Ghanaian legislation which bans weed smoking in the country—and in a recent interview with NewsOne, he decided to pour his out heart.
Against the back that Ghanaian musician-Kwaw Kese is currently in police cells awaiting trial and sentencing for having smoked weed in Kumasi, the controversial musician is quoted as having said; “We have ministers here that leave the country to go and sit at these weed joints in Amsterdam and smoke. We follow blindly; let’s open our eyes and amend these laws. They are only copying America where they themselves have now legalised it. The first instance for them banning weed was because they said it makes white women have sex with black men. Later, the economic reason also applied to it. They realised that hemp-producing countries would become stronger economic powerhouses than America,”
He added, “When hemp is processed into rope, it is seven times stronger and lasts way longer than steel. If Ghana harnesses the power of hemp and uses it in many ways like medicine and other things, it can put us somewhere.”
