Burna Boy wants marijuana legalised in Nigeria, claims 'everyone smokes weed'

Singer Burna Boy has claimed that hypocrisy is the reason marijuana is yet to be legalized in Nigeria.

Marijuana aka weed is still illegal in Nigeria, although it has not stopped its use by some people in the country.

The singer, during a conversation with Home Grown Radio in Los Angeles, claimed that everyone smokes weed in Nigeria but does not want to be seen with it.

The Grammy award-winning singer also said that misconception around weed is another reason it has not been legalised in Nigeria.

According to him, legalizing Marijuana is just a topic no one wants to talk about yet many smoke it.

Asked about legalizing weed in Nigeria, Burna said: “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 claimed.

“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 said he likes visiting Los Angeles because weed is free in the State, adding that the best varieties are found the city.
