Dumelo u are my favorite Ndc appointee but stop the fooling..as a law maker, stop the fooling..if something is illegal don’t support it..just the fact that u think it should not be illegal doesn’t mean shit..allow the police to do their jobs..in any serious country, u could be in trouble as a law maker for supporting illegal drugs..even with all our resources it couldn’t help Ghana, u think making wee legal will make any difference in Ghana? wee is illegal and it should remain as such..u are not more sensible than those law makers who made it illegal..I really like your leadership qualities but stop the fooling..

@bitter truth.. This comment of yours can only come from an ignoramus lwho thinks he's educated because he can write English yet is unexposed and a village champion. Pay attention to the logic of Dumelo's comment. Just think a little, just read a little, just travel a little.... then you'll know that your brain isn't functioning properly.

You don't make sense. what is your point? are you any better than "Bitter Truth"? Just because you travel and see others doing nonsense does not mean you copy willy-nilly, okay?
The issue is why did the police destroy the Wee plants? Did they do that legally or not? Get that fact first before you talk trash and abuse others. It is not only cigarettes that are legal and destroy life- so is alcohol, salt, and even sugar- EVEN MEDICINES WHEN TAKEN WITHOUT ADVISED DOSAGE. We have Laws in Ghana- we should just stick by the law. WHAT DOMELO SAID IS EITHER HERE OR THERE. HE IS A LAWMAKER NOW IF HE HAS ISSUES, HE SHOULD INITIATE ACTION NOT DO CHEAP TWITTER MESSAGES

Please read more about the people who made the laws that Ghana just copied. Even those people are now legalizing weed. From the way you write English, I can tell you read. Please read more about the origin of the cannabis ban before you think you are writing sense. Let me educate you a bit:
Cannabis was banned in Ghana and around the world largely because of racism and misinformation, not science. In the early 1900s, the U.S. pushed for a global ban by spreading fear that linked cannabis to crime and minority groups. This influenced international laws, and Ghana, like many other countries, followed suit—banning a plant that had been used traditionally for years. What’s frustrating now is that the same U.S. that led the charge to criminalize cannabis is now legalizing it and making money from it, while Ghana still holds on to outdated laws for no good reason. It shows how unfair the whole system was—and still is—and why it’s time for Ghana to rethink its stance.

Is that the only thing you took from all I wrote? Because of my lack of knowledge, my people keep perishing! Ignore the whole truth and pick out the part that suits you. Again, the US, which banned weed globally, is legalizing it. The drug addicts you see on the streets are not on weed (or just weed). They are on crack cocaine, which is different from weed. Learn and stop being thick. It is now easy to research, so stop fooling yourself! The black man is still not reading. The truth is hidden in books. In plain sight.

@Ghana son. You have no knowledge. You are just following the senseless populist noise. If you knew people whose lives have been wrecked through weed smoking you wouldn't be talking like that. Weed is dangerous.

It’s not true that weed has no traditional use in Ghana. In regions like the North, Volta, and parts of Brong Ahafo, traditional healers used cannabis in herbal remedies for epilepsy, pain, insomnia, and loss of appetite. Farmers and laborers in rural areas also used small amounts for stamina, focus, or relaxation after work. Hunters reportedly used it to stay alert in the wild. These practices were passed down quietly, but colonial laws and social stigma forced them underground. Just because they weren’t written in books doesn’t mean they weren’t part of real Ghanaian life.

Is this what he will use his ministry and position to advocate for. Doesn't he know the health implications of smoking weed.I was honestly expecting better from him. He should focus on his eggs and whatever he grows.
