Reggae Star Sizzla Calls For Ganja Legalization

Sizzla has weighed in on the ongoing Ganja legalization debate with his recently released single titled Free Up. The legendary Reggae artist says that Ganja is not a drug and should be removed from the controlled substance list in Jamaica.

“Ganja should not be considered as a controlled substance because it does not have the destructive effects that heroin, crack, cocaine or some of the prescribed pharmaceutical drugs have on people who use them,” Sizzla said. “Ganja is a medicine; it is a holy sacrament. Rastafarians and other people have been using it as a sacrament throughout the ages. Ganja has healing properties; it saves lives; it does not destroy lives.”

He also added, “Jamaica has taken too long to catch up with the first world countries that are currently making huge profits because they have legalized Ganja. Jamaica has made some big steps in recent times with the decriminalization of Ganja, but a lot more needs to be done, or else we’ll always be lagging behind the other countries that are profiting from the Ganja business.”

Free Up was produced by Rohan’ Fyah Fashion’ Robotham and Paul ‘Titus’ Green on the Chess Boxin rhythm for R.A.R Productions.

“Free Up is a powerful song it’s message is relevant and important. R.A.R. Productions is 100% behind this song. We recently shot a video for Free Up. The video was directed by G Mac. We’re going to release it later this month,” said Fyah Fashion.

R.A.R. Productions has produced and released songs for several popular Reggae and Dancehall artists, including Capleton, Beenie Man, Wayne Wonder, Busy Signal and Pressure Busspipe.
