Cease Weed Importation or We’ll Persist in Its Use – King Paluta warns

In an interview with Ato Kwamina on Takoradi-based Connect FM, the “Yahitte” hitmaker stated he has no issues developing songs to educate the youth on drug abuse. Paluta also wondered why some people are cultivating weed in Ghana even though it’s illegal.

“I don’t bother putting out lyrics that talk about drugs (marijuana/weed) because I’m not the one who brought them into the country. And when they get into the country, we’ll consume them; we won’t let them go waste.

King Paluta also encouraged the government to legalize the cultivation and the use of marijuana because of some monetary benefits for the country.  “I believe the authorities should legalize the use of marijuana/weed in the country because it has a business side to it,” he said.

“Customs and other authorities are checking these things but they still find their way into the country. Ask yourself how that happens. There are even people who cultivate marijuana in this country and nothing is done,” he said.
