“I want a license where I can grow cannabis legitimately and export it to other countries who have a proper research and development department that can turn this into serious medicine to help us all and generate revenue for government through taxes,”

He also feels that marijuana as a crop has not been looked at properly because of societal stigma it comes as a result of people who gain side effects from smoking it.

“I think we need to take a second look and have a national debate because there is a serious lack of understanding. Cannabis has been bastardised as something that Rastafarians just put in there and smoke but it is much more than that”

Nana Agyemang also highlighted the plant being used as a material for construction in the form of hempcrete as it is done in Austrialia.
