VIDEO: Actor James Gardiner endorses weed smoking

Actor James Gardiner has come under heavy criticism for endorsing a weed smoker in the latest tourism TV Series being aired on metro TV dubbed U.tour.

The actor who doubles as a presenter on the show openly asked a Rasta man in their visit to Kokrobite whether he smokes weed, which he responded in the affirmative.

One would have expected him to condemn the act, since its being shown on a national television and the substance is illegal in Ghana. But to the utmost surprise of most viewers, James Gardiner gave his approval to the illegal smoker and even asked to be given some on camera.

Shortly after the show, critics took to social media and described the act as shameful and reprehensible.
