Member of Parliament for Manhyia North, Collins Owusu Amankwah, has rebutted claims that cannabis has been legalised by the Ghanaian Parliament for public consumption.

According to the two-time legislator, Parliament only legalised the use of the weed for medicinal purposes.

Speaking to Michael Ofosu-Afriyie Sunday evening, Mr Amankwah expressed worry about the erroneous claims some members of the public have since the passage of the Narcotics Act into law have been making.
