The number of Ghanaians asking for the legalisation of weed usage in the nation has increased with the addition of the legendary Highlife musician Abrantee Amakye Dede’s voice.
During an interview on Starr Chat with Nana Aba Anamoah, the legendary Ghanaian Highlife artist admitted to having smoked weed in the past but not enjoying it. Amakye Dede thinks that it would be preferable for Ghana to legalise it because other nations are profiting from it.
“I have tried it before, I didn’t like it like it,” he said.
Asked if he thinks it should be legalised in Ghana, Amakye Dede added, “like it will be better, now in America and parts of Germany and Amsterdam, they have legalised it and are earning money from it“.
“So if somebody tells you Ghana should legalise weed I don’t it’s a problem,” he added. According to the ‘Yenfa Nto Woso’ singer, he sees nothing wrong with people who smoke marijuana.
“No if you smoke weed you are a bad person,” he said. Asked if he would musicians to smoke weed he said “yes” explaining what it will do for them, he added that “it is extra energetic“.
