Octopizzo joined the growing number of people who want the use and growth of bhang legalized in the country.
He called on the government to pass the Marijuana Control Bill which seeks to decriminalize its growth and use in the country.
Octo wants weed to be easily accessible to the public saying that alcohol and cigarettes have much worse side effects compared to weed.
The rapper said that the banned drug should be legalized for its medicinal purposes adding that it will create more jobs for the youth.
“I consume weed because unlike other 'legal' substances like alcohol and cigarettes, weed comes with no adverse effects. I don't smoke, I take it in tea, not in Kenya though. I do it when I am in Amsterdam, Los Angeles.”
“Bhang smoking should be legalized in Kenya because it will not only create job opportunities but also save many lives because of its health benefits,” said Octopizzo during the interview.
