Prophet Kumchacha, the founder and leader of Heaven’s Gate Ministries, has admitted that he first used marijuana when he was just 11 years old.
The controversial and outspoken man of God revealed that he believed marijuana would improve his mental clarity.
Kumchacha stated that he had learnt the act from his mentor, who was also his supervisor at the time.
In addition to smoking, Kumchacha said that his old employer had taught him how to gamble, making him an unredeemable bad kid.
After smoking nonstop for two years straight and always juggling problems, Kumchacha eventually decided to stop because he realized the harm marijuana usage did to his physical and mental health.
“I started smoking marijuana when I was 11 years old. I thought smoking marijuana would help me mentally. I was smoking for two and a half years. I always got into a fight after smoking. I was taught how to smoke by someone who was training me – he was my boss as well. He taught me how to smoke and gamble,” he said during an exclusive interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM.
