He however argued that there are so many benefits associated with the use of marijuana and urged government to consider its legalization in Ghana. He also said that the legalisation could generate so much revenue for the state.
We must remember that last year he appeared before the Parliamentary Privileges Committee after he accused MPs of being hypocritical for not supporting the campaign.
