Everyone smokes, not legalising weed in Nigeria is hypocritical – Burna Boy

Award winning singer, Burna Boy has said that it is hypocritical for marijuana not be legalized in Nigeria

Marijuana (also known as weed) is still illegal in Nigeria, although this hasn’t stopped its use by some people in the country.

Burna Boy stated his opinion during a conversation with Home Grown Radio in Los Angeles. He said everyone smokes weed in Nigeria but does not want to be seen with it. According to him, there are a lot of misconceptions around the substance which has made it not yet legal in Nigeria and legalising it is a topic no one wants to talk about yet many smoke it.

“It’s not a zero- tolerance. It’s like everybody does it, but no one wants to be the one that is seen talking about it. It’s just kind of hypocritical out there.

“They try to make it seem like if you smoke weed you’ll just go mad in Nigeria. Everybody smokes it,it’s just a topic no one wants to talk about,” Burna Boy said.

“No one wants to talk about it; everybody is cool. Nobody wants to make it a thing to advocate for legalization of weed,” he added.

Burna Boy noted that he likes visiting Los Angeles because weed is free in the state and that the best ones are found in the city.
