‘I see nothing wrong with marijuana’, says Jesse Jagz
wrong with smoking of Cannabis
popularly called Marijuana.
In a recent interview with Funsho
Arogundade of PM News, the very
talented rapper-producer defended his
smoking weed in his music video
'Redemption';
'For me, that scene was just a way of
pushing people's perception about some
certain things. It was just about making
some people feel uncomfortable. People
sing a lot about love but can they love as
much as an armed robber? Segregation
leads us nowhere so the weed was just to
offend people's thinking'.
And when asked if he didn't think his
actions was promoting the use of the
illegal substance, Jesse likened smoking
to money and women. He did go on to
explain in detail how other musicians'
music which talks about smoking weed
have been more 'demeaning and
derogatory', unconsciously referencing
9ice's 2007 single 'Ganja man' featuring
Jah Bless.
'I do not see anything wrong with weed;
just the same way I do not see anything
wrong with money or women. I just
think anything done in excess is bad.
However, if I have never married before,
I cannot say anything about marriage
whether it is right or wrong. It is about
someone else's life.
That is life. Yes, I have spoken about
marijuana in my music. However, every
other artiste have made allusion to
marijuana in more demeaning and
derogatory ways than I have. Others have
sang 'Give me the lighter; pass me the
ganja' but my own message is not about
that. People should listen to the message
in my music not the marijuana. If you
really listen to the truth in my music,
you will not have a problem with the
marijuana in my music. I am not
promoting or condemning people who
use it but I guess everybody wants to
evade the truth that I talk about in my
song.
