Reggae musician and radio host, Blakk Rasta has questioned the reasoning behind the decision to burn confiscated marijuana, cocaine, and other illegal narcotics on the Osu beach.
According to him, government could have processed these items and sold for revenue to the country.
Speaking on 3FM during his radio show, Urban Blend on Friday, August 9 he criticised government for their decision concluding that its not the best.
“Where is the sense in this? You go to Holland and ask the people to give you money. They sell weed and give you money. You go to America, in a lot of the states they have legalised marijuana.
“Now you have free marijuana instead of processing it like cake, beautiful cake, you can even turn it into weed toffee and sell it out to people in whose countries this is very legal. Heroin and cocaine. Have we stopped using these in our pharmacies? Can’t we turn those into drugs and medicines?” he stated.
He finds it unsettling that instead of using an incinerator, the police and drug control personnel burned these drugs on the beach.
“So the police have nowhere to burn so-called drugs except by the beach? Police have to carry this in a huge truck and bully everybody to stop on the street because they have nowhere to burn their marijuana. They have nowhere to burn their cocaine. They go to the beach where we go sit down and have fun. To burn the so-called illicit drugs?” Blakk Rasta said.
