He further urged the government to consider the product as one that it uses to fund the popular Free Senior High School Policy, adding that the government must rather make laws to the usage of Marijuna.
“Developed countries have legalised marijuana; you think they are mad? Do they have more sense than us? We are far behind time. We should legalise it [marijuana] to improve the economy.
“We loose nothing; akpeteshie is killing people more but there are laws regulating its use. We can legalise wee to fund Free SHS because we have the right climate and lands and there is money in the business [of selling marijuana],” he said.
