‘Weed Is Now Expensive Under Akufo Addo’

An angry and embittered Rastaman has lamented bitterly over the rising cost of marijuana in the country.

Speaking to GHOne TV’s Godwin Asidiba in an interview, the Rastafarian who was among a group of young men who stormed the Jubilee in a demonstration against the 2022 budget and fiscal policy statement that was read by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta stated that weed is more valuable to Ghana than cocoa.

He pointed out the effects of smoking cigarettes as compared to weed yet the government has allowed citizens to smoke it whilst weed smokers are being arrested.

He said “There’s something going on in the country, I’m not happy. The budget has affected the price of weed because those bringing the herbs from the village are afraid that they will be arrested, therefore if it comes to Accra, the price will definitely increase.

“We have left the authorities to import cigarettes into the country which can cause tuberculosis and the weed which is created by God and today, the police will arrest for the weed… So wee is important that the cocoa we export…”

Another rastaman said indeed the price of the weed has increased due to the increment in transport fares.

“Wee is something that brings more money to the country than any product but we don’t know why the government will arrest people on that,” he said.
