The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Honourable John Setor Dumelo, caused a stir on social media after criticising the criminalization of marijuana in Ghana.
Dumelo, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), expressed disapproval over a recent move by the Ghana Police Service in which they destroyed 61 sacks of cannabis due to a court order.
The actor cum farmer turned legislator, questioned why cigarettes are legal in Ghana yet marijuana continues to remain illegal.
Dumelo, a veteran farmer, has previously spoken about the potential of marijuana as a crop to transform the Ghanaian economy if legalized, properly regulated, and taxed.
