French president laughs off the fumes in the air as he tours the streets of capital CayenneFrench president Emmanuel Macron played it cool when he caught a whiff of marijuana during his visit to French Guiana, warning youngsters it won’t “help with your schoolwork”. “That will not help with your schoolwork,” he could be heard telling the smokers on a video posted on the presidential Facebook page in the overseas territory. “You have to tell the youngest!”Macron wrapped up his 48-hour visit to the impoverished South American territory, which borders northern Brazil, on Saturday. The French president faced demonstrations at the start of his trip over the issue of aid. Macron said he had not come to “make grand promises that are hot air”, and said past promises had not been kept.
