In the Nigerian music industry it is common knowledge that a lot of artistes indulge in the act of smoking the narcotic called cannabis, popularly known on the streets as weed, igbo, choco etc. Even though it is common knowledge, most contemporary artistes do not publicly flaunt their love for weed because of the bad rep that comes with. The unwritten rule was you could do it but don't get caught smoking it.
It however seems some artistes have decided to break that unwritten rule. Recently, pictures of Terry G and Wande Coal puffing on weed started making rounds on the social networking site Facebook. While nobody regarded them as saints it was kind of shocking and disheartening to see artistes that millions of kids look up to publicly engage in what is regarded as a social vice.
