Otherwise, the government must legalise the sale of weeds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Wisdom, he has been jobless for a long while and depended on weed to cater for himself and his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Ghetto Life Story on SVTV Africa, Wisdom revealed that he has been arrested severally for selling weed and remanded to two years in prison. He noted that the authorities sometimes arrest them without reason because they \u201cknow this area is a ghetto.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started selling because my family had nothing, and my work collapsed after my boss travelled. So I decided to get into that business to support my family.<\/p>\n<p>There are no jobs here, and we must ask the government why there are no jobs here. Imagine you have no food to eat in the morning, won&#8217;t you find ways to get money? I\u2019ve done a lot of bad things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Wisdom pleaded with the government to provide jobs for the youths here because \u201ccompanies do not even employ us when we mention Ashaiman. If they allow us to sell the weed, there will be no criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wisdom shared some of the effects weed has had in his life. According to him, he smokes for the calming effects because he is quick-tempered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCocaine is not good, but the youths mix it with weed these days. For me, I don\u2019t do cocaine, but weed makes me think well,\u201d Wisdom told DJ Nyaami.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kindly watch the full interview below;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Sell W\u00e9\u00ead To Survive Because There Are No Jobs Here, I&#039;m Tired Of Getting Arrested - Man Reveals\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RwLv8IcVkZ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: SVTVAfrica.com (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
