It should therefore not be surprising when he says he would not mind in the least if his kids use it as well.<\/p>\n<p>His comments may not endear him to many people and he will certainly not be winning any parent of the year honours but Kwaw Kesse does not really care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will not force my children to stop using marijuana if they think it is good for them. It is like food. If my child walks up to me and says daddy, I think weed is good for me and I want to use it, I can\u2019t do anything about it as long as they do not abuse it or use if for the wrong reasons,\u201d he said in a chat with Showbiz last Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Kwaw Kesse has had problems with the law over his use of marijuana. In 2014, he was arrested for smoking the herb in public in Kumasi and put before court. He endured some tough times at the Kumasi prisons and the drama surrounding his application for bail played out in the public eye.<\/p>\n<p>After his release and subsequent fine, he said he was embarking on campaign against drug abuse in the country.<\/p>\n<p>One thing he is disappointed at and wishes he could change is the negative perception about people who use weed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who use weed are not wayward people, they are not irresponsible. We need to educate people so that the negative stereotyping will stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For him, there are several benefits Ghana will derive from legalizing weed. \u201cWe can export it, tax it and it will help boost our economy. There are medicinal benefits as well.  If Kofi Annan has come out to back this then it means it is something good. That man I know is not someone who falls for just anything and I am glad he has joined the movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the same vein, Kwaw says he will not prevent any f his children from becoming a musician despite all the negative aspects. \u201cThere may be a lot of backbiting, back stabbing etc in the industry bit if my child says that that is what he or she wants to do, why not, I will give my blessings. I will not say because I have had my share of negativity, I will block my children from pursuing their passion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: 65 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 28 September 2017 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2017-09-28 Rapper Kwaw Kesse &#13; Rapper Kwaw Kesse is known for speaking his mind always and has made no apologies for his use of marijuana.
