Majid Michel has said marijuana is a God-made plant and there is nothing wrong with using the substance.
The preacher and actor made this known while speaking with Kent Mensah on Asaase radio, as he called on the Ghanaian government to legalise and commercialize the use of weed in the country.
“I’ve done drugs before. I’ve indulged in drugs before. I’ve done hard drugs. I don’t mean weed. I don’t see anything wrong with weed, it was God-made. It was created by God,” he stated.
Recounting how he did hard drugs years ago, the actor stated that he never saw anyone who overdozed on weed.
“I’ve never heard of anybody who has overdosed on weed… I’ve done things out of weed. I’ve done cocaine and LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide)
“I’ve done other drugs that if I told you right now, you’ll not be able to pronounce. These were years back and I didn’t struggle to overcome it,” he said.
Majid however, advised persons below the age of 25 not to indulge in the use of the herb.
He recommended brewing and drinking weed as compared to the regular style of smoking.
“Maybe because of the smoke… maybe that’s why health-wise, it is advisable for people to brew and drink it because that is not wrong at all. You drink teas, don’t you,” he said.
