Weeding Chocolate City!

Don’t get it twisted, Weed is Bad! So let’s burn it. In order to fully appreciate this story, here are the benefits of weed (igbo, ganja, pot, marijuana, cannabis,). It actually has some good uses. It is used by doctors to treat intense pain, and as some sort of sedative. It also has some chemicals that have good effects on your hair. That’s all.
But some people are of the belief that weed is not a drug. To qualify something as a drug, you simply have to mix some chemicals like flour, sodium, talc, and all of that stuff. But weed is just a plant, put on this earth by Baba God for brothers on the struggle, and niggers on the hustle. It is sent from heaven. For musicians too, especially those rappers and singers from Chocolate City.
Let’s start with the most recent. Brymo the weeding Rhymo. Last week during one of his regular singing and pinging studio session, Brymo took his normal recreational drug. Weed. He smoked it up, smoked it down. Puffed it high, blew it low, and being very unselfish, he wanted to share his moment of enjoyment with his fans, so he took a picture of the perfect advert for weed (himself), and posted it on Instagram with the reassuring words, “It’s Alright”.

And while the fans were still wondering what poison he was smoking, he, obviously in another realm (the 9^th heaven of cannabis) read our minds and dropped us the picture of his love, with the confession, “Actually, I smoke a lot.”

He smoked weed, displayed it publicly and felt like he was sharing his blessing with his loving fans. I no blame you. But this does not surprise Amebo Pulse because right from the start, Chocolate City has been the City of Weed. Chocolate flavoured weed. How?
Here. Remember that M.I’s hugely successful album, Talk About It? Well, one of his hit songs was Blaze,the one where him,Jesse Jagz, Ice Prince and Blaise sang a song dedicated to weed and lighters. Next are the rumours which went around that one of the reason why Jesse Jagz was leaving Choc City was because he did a lot of weed. And last week, Ice Prince released a weed anthem titled, Gimme dat, with the album art showing him passing “Claro” to himself.
Chocolate City I dey hail o. Abi una get garden of weed-semane. And again I can picture a regular Monday morning at that studio. Everyone grabs a joint as long as the Niger Delta pipeline, light it up, while a classic lovesong “You are the love of my life” flows in from the speaker:
“You are the weed of my life,
I knew it right from the start,
The moment I took a puff,
With you is where I belong”…
