Wiz, who has been a long and avid user of the herb, states that despite the negative press marijuana has had, it is not as bad.
“We had years of people demonizing it got over that now it’s starting again and I’m naturally fighting against cause like i always said weed isn’t that bad,” he added.

The “Black and Yellow” rapper also vehemently discredited information about weed making users lazy.
“Out of no where people got this wack ass 1970’s agenda that weed makes you “lazy” and I’m not letting that get pushed,” he tweeted.

Ghana is one of many nations in the globe that has outlawed the use of cannabis.
There have been a number of reports from authorities raiding and demolishing farms that unlawfully cultivate the plant.
Due to the harm it causes to those who abuse it, marijuana has been outlawed.
Similar to what the American rapper said, some celebrities from Ghana have urged for the legalization of marijuana in the West African nation.
