    Does Dumelo know how many of my classmates and colleagues have died from drug addiction before they reached 50? They all began with wee in school. Wee is the mother of all narcotics. That is where children are born into drug ...

    Really? What nature made is illegal but what humans made is legal. You are simply brainwashed. If scientists are to do a thorough research, your stupid brain will come to realize Tabasco causes more harm than weed. Stupid com ...

    Weed was used traditionally in Ghana? Stop smoking crack

  • Ghanas Son 8 months ago

    @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.

  • Truth 8 months ago

    Are you speaking facts or hearsey? Weed is NOT crack!! And of course too much of everything is bad. Please read and come back to me. You have Google!!!

  • Truth 8 months ago

    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. F ...

    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.

  • Nameless 8 months ago
