Video has surfaced of R2Bees member Omar Sterling calling for the legalisation on Indian hemp in the country.

In the video sighted by ENEWSGH, the prolific rapper, in the middle of cutting what appears to be a birthday cake decorated with the substance, calls for the decriminalisation of the herb, pointing out that it could prove valuable to the country.

The Starboy Worldwide president is not the first to advocate for the legalisation of the substance. indeed, quite a number of his colleagues in music (including Samini, Kwaw Kese, Blakk Rasta, Ekow Micah etc) as well as other top Ghanaian personalities have all advocated for its legalisation, indicating its potential to draw in foreign income, as well as proven medicinal purposes.
