Could be this plant is collected from mainland Asia lain.Di among young people, more familiar marijuana is called bakong ijo, gelek, cimeng or rasta.Sementara cool designation others are tampee, pot, weed, dope.
After many years and growing in almost all of Aceh, marijuana began to be consumed, especially used as 'good cigarettes', which slowly become a tradition in Aceh.Bahkan if there is cooking, it is considered not perfect if the seasoning is not mixed with marijuana seed.Tradisi is indeed difficult to remove or eradicate .
