A Ghanaian who appeared at the Ku Me Preko reloaded protests held earlier today has lamented the rising cost of marijuana in the country.
The citizen has also called for the government to legalise the substance since it has multiple medicinal uses.
Speaking during the demonstration, held Saturday, November 5th 2022 in Accra, the demonstrator said he knows a friend who had asthma and was cured due to weed.

Ghanaians hit the streets in droves to protest the current high cost of living and general hardship in the country.
The protesters convened at the Obra Spot near the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra.
Wielding placards with several inscriptions such as ‘killer rents’, ‘the battle over the Lord saf’ and ‘e-levy is a killer law’, they registered their undue displeasure with the current conditions of Ghana.
The Ghana cedi has been on a downward spiral against the dollar the entire year, currently trading at approximately Ghc 14 to a dollar.
The currency has been adjudged the worst-performing currency in the world, passing the Sri Lankan currency.
That has had a knock-on effect, leading to astronomical prices of goods and services, coupled with rising fuel prices and galloping inflation.
The result is an intolerable cost of living that is crippling many Ghanaians.
The protestors, led by prominent personalities such as lawyer Martin Kpebu, Akwasi Addai ‘Odike’, Olivia Barker-Vormawor and others, are calling for President Akufo-Addo and his Vice, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to resign.
