Kumawood actor Steven Atange, popularly called Don Little, is advocating for the legalization of marijuana. According to his reasoning, other countries are making economic sense of the THC-cannabinoid drug.
For Don Little, every business goes, even if it involves pimping girls or smuggling contraband. He argued that the original kingpins of the smuggling trade are in positions of authority, but the ordinary pers on who probably indulges for recreational purposes is harassed.

“I buy and sell, and I’m also a businessman. Any business is business. If you pimp girls, it’s a business. If you sell marijuana, it’s also a business.
“No, it’s not bad because if you travel, weed is legalized. In Ghana, everything is poor, and we selectively criticise. Those in authority are doing it. Nobody is catching them. But we, the ordinary person, if we do it, they will be harassing and embarrassing us.”
Don Little is not the first celebrity to speak about legalising weed in the country. Last year, highlife legend Amakye Dede made a similar argument after his experience abroad.
He pointed out how foreign governments were making money and regulating its usage because it was legal.
In August 2022, Ghana’s Vic Mensa became the first black-owned marijuana business to open in Chicago. International celebrities, including Snoop and Justin Bieber, own marijuana companies.
