Octopizzo calls for Bhang legalization

Kenyan rapper, Octopizzo has called for bhang legaliztion saying that it has less effects compared to tobacco. During an interview, he praised Kibra Member of Parliament Ken Okoth for working on a bill seeking the legalization of bhang in Kenya;

“Leader wetu pale mtaani naweza sema amejaribu. Amekua akisupport education, arts na pia kuna kitu ali table pale parliament ya ku legalize ngwai (bhang). Na hio niimportant sana.” He also revealed that he uses the plant when he is in Los Angeles, the USA, and Amsterdam -Netherlands – where it is legal.

He said that bhang has medicinal value hence its not harmful. He defended the side-effects associated with the drug explaining that even if ugali was rolled up and smoked, it would also have adverse effects. He claimed that its legalization will be an avenue to create employment for the youth.

He insisted that bhang has no effects; “Madhara gani? Si pombe ina madhara? Sigara iko na madhara mbaya kuliko bhangi…Medicinal – unaweza kunywa ata kwa chai. Si lazima uvute. Mtu akisema ku legalize marijuana si ati ni kwamba watu wavute tu. Waeza weka kwa chai na haina madhara. We ukinywa chai umewahi sikia ina madhara? Ushawahi sikia kitu inaitwa ganja tea?”
