Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Ras Kuuku, has harshly criticized Narcotics Control Commission authorities for frequently destroying wee farms across the nation.
He asserts that it is obvious that Ghanaians think backwards because these bodies choose to smoke the hard substance, and if there were a better phrase for them, he would use it.
He proceeded by saying that although some nations legalized drugs and made enormous profits, back in Ghana, those in authority preferred to burn down the crops.
“We are more than backward if there’s a word beyond backward, that’s where we find ourselves as a country because in these modern times when countries are legalizing marijuana we’re here burning huge ganja farms.
“Even if we package our marijuana and export it the proceeds can be used to do a lot of roads in Ghana, and we’ve been saying this for a long time but one day I know they will say that we are right from the unset,” he said.
Ras Kuuku continued that “We are crying of poverty because we need money to fix this country, but we wake up every day to news of huge marijuana farms being set ablaze to just waste away whilst it can fetch us money.
“We didn’t get anything from gold, diamond too nothing, manganese gave us nothing, bauxite too the same, timber and rubber brought us nothing so the only thing we can make money from is marijuana,” he stated.
