Smoking 'wee' is not sinful; the herb is a blood tonic - Jay Bahd claims

Ghanaian rapper Jay Bahd has sparked controversy by asserting that smoking marijuana, colloquially known as 'wee' in Ghana, is equivalent to 'mogya duro' or "blood tonic," and should not be considered a sin.

The 'Odo' hitmaker, in a candid interview on Ghpage’s Rush Hour Show, unapologetically defended the act of smoking 'wee,' emphasizing that it should be viewed as a "blood tonic."

Jay Bhad argued that marijuana should be seen as a "blood tonic" because it enhances appetite, leading to improved eating habits.

In further defense of his views, he drew a parallel between weed and divine wisdom, suggesting that criticizing its use is akin to questioning God’s wisdom, as he created all things and designated them as holy for human consumption.

The rapper's outspoken stance on the recreational use of marijuana sheds light on the ongoing debate surrounding the legalization and cultural acceptance of cannabis in various societies.
