Magix Enga: Bensoul is deceiving the kids, and I’m fighting a marijuana addiction

Music producer Magix Enga has strongly criticized Bensoul for his recent advocacy of marijuana use and calls for its legalization in Kenya.

Enga, who has faced personal struggles with drug addiction and depression, condemns Bensoul’s statements on weed, citing his own experiences as evidence of its detrimental effects.

Speaking from his perspective, Enga reveals his past heavy marijuana use during his time at Magix Empire studio, explaining that instead of enhancing productivity as he initially believed, weed had the opposite effect.

“I used to smoke a lot of weed to help me calm down and concentrate while making music, but it only led to feeling constantly drowsy and unproductive,” Enga explains. “Weed abuse turns you into a zombie; it doesn’t sharpen your focus as some claim. It’s not beneficial at all.”

Enga also challenges the perception of certain American celebrities, like rapper Wiz Khalifa, who openly endorse weed, suggesting that their public persona may not accurately reflect their actual habits.

“Someone like Wiz Khalifa may not actually consume as much weed as he portrays. If he did, he wouldn’t maintain his level of focus and success,” Enga argues. “It’s likely just a facade for showbiz, and it would be misguided to emulate him.”

In contrast, Bensoul has continued to advocate for the medicinal use of weed and its legalization, attributing its prohibition to political motives and racial oppression.

“Making weed illegal was a political move to oppress black people. Many countries have recognized its value and legalized it. We’ve missed out on economic opportunities,” Bensoul asserts, dismissing claims of weed-induced insanity and emphasizing its relatively benign nature compared to other drugs when used responsibly.

The stark disagreement between Enga and Bensoul underscores the ongoing debate surrounding marijuana use and legalization, with Enga cautioning against its glorification and Bensoul advocating for its acceptance and regulation.
