Why is cigarette legal and marijuana still illegal in Ghana? – Dumelo asks

Actor cum politician, John Dumelo, has taken to social media

to ask why tobacco products are legal in the

country but marijuana is illegal.

According to him, he cannot fathom why the system arrests

people who use marijuana but spares those who patronize

cigarettes that have similar tendencies.

He took to the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, to register

his assertion where many Ghanaians, while replying,

gave reasons for the ban on weed in Ghana.

In Ghana, it’s legal to buy and smoke cigarettes. How come

it’s illegal to buy and smoke marijuana? He tweeted.

This isn’t the first time Mr Dumelo is venting his spleen towards

the legalization of marijuana in the country.
