Thread: INDONESIAN Vice President Jusuf Kalla, suggests marijuana ok in food

INDONESIAN Vice President Jusuf Kalla, who opposes legalising marijuana, doesn't mind the drug being used in cooking, a newspaper reported today.
"It's alright to use it as a food seasoning, but it should not be fully legalised,'' Mr Kalla was quoted as saying by the Jakarta Post.

Mr Kalla was commenting on a recent study by two Indonesian agencies dealing with drug abuse that recommended the Government review its policy to outlaw the use of marijuana for recreational purposes, the Post said.

Many of dishes in Aceh province, where hemp plants are grown, such as mutton and beef curry are said to be laced with marijuana seeds to give them a distinctive local flavour.

A drug expert from the National Narcotics Agency reportedly said Indonesia should follow the example of countries like the Netherlands, where marijuana is legal, because it is not as harmful as people thought.

Ratna Dwikora, the owner of an Acehnese food restaurant in Jakarta, told the Kompas newspaper "marijuana is available in any Acehnese kitchen just like coriander''.

"Marijuana is a widely-accepted cooking spice there,'' she told the newspaper.

Indonesia imposes harsh penalties, including death, for narcotic offences as the country faces a growing drug menace.

sounds interesting, whats it taste like? I think I'd better go n see...

dont forget to report back with your findings

some Issan people still use it in their cooking every now and then.It's natural,so can't be that bad etc...

It was sold as a spice in Cambodia until a few years ago.

yah - but i dont think they actually used it as a spice, rather sprinkled it on pizza for the ... effects.

Eating good ganja will give you a much nicer and longer high than smoking...
