Ghanaian actor, producer and preacher, Majid Michel, has said that he does not see anything wrong with the smoking of weed hence, the need for government to legalize it.v

“if the government is not ready to take responsibility for the consequences [for legalising ‘weed’] then it shouldn’t take that decision”, he added.
