One unforgettable moment in the history of Ghanaian showbiz was the arrest of rapper Kwaw Kesse, in 2014 when he was arrested for the possession and smoking of marijuana. It can be recalled that the musician spent sometime in the Kumasi Central Prison till he was released some weeks after.
Recounting these tragic moments in an exclusive interview with Hammer, host of Hammer Time on Pure Fm, Kwaw Kesse admits to the fact that doing in time in Prison has actual changed his mindset and said “Jail made me transition from a boy to a man, some of these things happen so we learn from them and i wouldn’t like anyone to go through that“.
However, it appears that the rapper hasn’t changed his view on the decriminalization of marijuana and expressed his disappointments with the way we treat marijuana in Ghana and said ” I dont see why legalization is a big deal, people are investing billions of dollars into it but its sad we think it can only be smoked but we can use it for other important things. Its hypocritical of us to criminalize it while some people in government and some very important people smoke weed. I dont see why we should be
burning acres of weed farms instead of making money from it.“
