Marijuana Isn’t A Hard Drug, It Is Medicinal – Davido

Popular singer, Davido has come out to speak about his stance against drug addiction.

He recently had his say during his sit down on The Morning Hustle podcast, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he pledges to orphanages every year on his birthday, and 2024 is specifically for kids with drug addiction and drug abuse because they deserve a chance.

Davido added that he does not view marijuana as a hard drug, and it is even medicinal for some people.

His words, “I pledge to orphanages every year on my birthday and I’ve done it for three years now. It started two years ago I tweeted my account number randomly and my fans ended up sending me close to 400,000 dollars and it was a big story. My dad called me that I couldn’t keep the money so we decided to give it away to a cause, which was the motherless babies home, we did that the first and second year. This year I’m using my money through my Foundation.

This year it’s specifically for kids with drug addiction and drug abuse because of the way it is these days. I don’t count weed as a drug, when I posted it people were like ‘but you smoke weed,’ its medicinal for some people.

A lot of people have been doing through a lot as of recent and the drugs have taken over so I want to donate to that cause and help them quickly.”

WOW.
