The president of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, has issued a warning to Ghanaian youth about the dangers of peer pressure and the importance of avoiding bad company that can corrupt their moral values.

The tele-evangelist shared his personal experience, revealing that he once fell into the trap of drug use, particularly smoking weed, during his secondary school days.

He recounted a moment when he felt the effects of the drug, seeing the sky seemingly close, and wanting to touch it.

“I remember I once smoked weed in secondary school. I saw the sky close, and I wanted to jump and touch it”, Dr. Tetteh recounted his treacherous childhood adventures to Kafui Dey.

“The first time I preached and I said it at the North Kaneshie Assemblies of God, my parents cried. My father asked me if I really did that and I said yes. I smoked the thing and I saw the sky very close and I was wondering why nobody was touching the sky so I wanted to touch it”, he revealed.

This dangerous childhood adventure was influenced by his peers.

However, he also mentioned that after that eye-opening experience, he realized the destructive path he was on and disciplined himself to stay away from drugs, including weed.

Dr. Tetteh made these revelations in light of Parliament's recent passing of a law to allow the industrial production of cannabis.

His cautionary tale serves as a reminder of the potential negative consequences of drug use and the importance of making wise choices to avoid falling into harmful habits influenced by peer pressure.
