"Kwami, what you are saying about color-blindness is painful. Our political system and culture arenot mature enough to deal withsuch a situation. Let's take our time," said the author.
In response, Mr. Sefa Kayi clarified his position by saying, “I am not saying that we will go to pepe. So, with the utmostrespect, your misinterpretationand misunderstanding of my position is deeply hurtful. I didn't tell anyone to smoke." Hesaid his position is that marijuana should be legalized for industrial, medical and developmental purposes.
Marijuana is used as medicine.It is used to create industries in certain places. The pee is grouped in two; we have industrial hemp or industrial marijuana and recreational marijuana... Do a little research. There is something called a THC level. The THC level in industrial marijuana is around0.3; it is something that servesto do something. Anything over0.3 is considered high. We can'tcome together as a communityto think we can use 0.3," he explained. He added: "We're going to sit here and the white people are going to [0.3] build an airplane and we're going to come and buy it, and of course we're going to buy it. That'swhere the fear lies." me and my problem is... We will be here one day, they will tell us that they use some pee to make baby food... So I didn't tell anyone togo smoke. That's not what I'msaying or advocating."
Borrowing a phrase from the famous Bob Marley, Kwami Sefa Kayi called on the nation to "free themselves from mental slavery", otherwise, he stressed, "one day we will regret it".
