Angeles, opined that everyone smokes weed in Nigeria but does not want to be
seen with it.

According to him, legalizing Marijuana is just a topic no
one wants to talk about yet many smoke it.
When asked about legalizing weed in Nigeria, Burna said,
“It’s not a zero- tolerance. It’s like everybody does it, but no one wants to
be the one that is seen talking about it. It’s just kind of hypocritical out
there.
“They try to make it seem like if you smoke weed you’ll just
go mad in Nigeria. Everybody smokes it,it’s just a topic no one wants to talk
about,” Burna Boy said.
“No one wants to talk about it; everybody is cool. Nobody
wants to make it a thing to advocate for legalization of weed,” he added.
Burna Boy noted that he likes visiting Los Angeles because
weed is free in the state and that the best ones are found the city.
