You Agree? “Marijuana Would Make Black Countries Richer If Legalized” – Seun Kuti (Fela’s Son)

Seun Kuti, the son of the late legendary Nigerian Afro-beat King (Fela Anikulapo Kuti), has shocked the world with his recent statement regarding Marijuana and its legalization in Africa.

In a recent chit chat with a local newspaper correspondent, condemning the ban of marijuana and cigarette and calling it “illogical”, the self-styled singer said that the highly favoured cigarette has lethal consequences, while the legally opposed marijuana was medicinal and good for human consumption.

Commenting further, the renowned saxophonist added that the lethal cigarette was favored simply because it was to the white man’s profit, stressing that marijuana would make black countries richer than the white if legalized.

In Seun Kuti’s very own words:

Marijuana is medical, and I feel Cigarette is selling legally because it is white man’s business. It is killing millions of people every day. ‘Igbo’ (weed) is not killing anybody… Marijuana is not only for smoking.
It’s used for a lot of things; you can make clothes, you can drink tea, it is good, it is medicinal, it helps your appetite, they give it to cancer patients.. a lot of benefits.

So my big question is, do you agree with Mr Kuti’s point of view?

Do you think MJ (weed) is medicinal, and will be more beneficial to the Black Race if legalized?
