“Weed is herb,it is medicine and we use it unless when it is misused” Buchaman said. He claims that many have failed to differentiate between herbs and drugs and for him he is a herbalist.
According to the artist, he started smoking weed at the age of 14-years and he also doesnot know how many times he smokes a day. “it’s smilar to a mother breast feeding a baby, you can’t tell how many times a baby has breast fed”, he added.I
In a trending video, Butcerman stopped the Dj from playing dancehall song ‘Juba by Mr. Wind’. He and fellow artist Dry Tea started serving and smoking weed on te stage while enjoyiing the rythm.
