I happen to believe the legalization of marijuana is something that’s not as scary as people like to put it. There are many people who smoke marijuana and function properly in society, and honestly if alcohol is legal there’s no reason marijuana should not be since they both effectively alter the chemical composition of your brain to make you feel ‘high’.

Aside my personal belief it also looks like the legalization movement is gathering steam in Ghana, considering not only the artist throwing their weight behind it but even ‘respected’ personalities such as Kwesi Pratt and Kwame Sefa Kayi.

From what the Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr is saying, Captain Mahama and other soldiers were stationed at Obuasi-Denkyire to protect a foreign mining company–perhaps, the reason why his mission out there still remains sketchy.

Speaking on Radio Gold yesterday, Kwesi Pratt said:

What we are discussing is a national security situation; it’s a major challenge for national cohesion, a functioning state. What we are discussing is a sliding into a banana republic…what we are talking about is impunity; the lack of faith in our security establishment. The refusal of state actors to punish crime, that’s what we are talking about…and we should focus attention on that in order to deal with the problem”
