History of Aceh marijuana

History of ACEH MARIJUANA

Based on historical reviews, cannabis plants were first discovered in mainland #China in 2737 BC. Ancient Chinese society has known and used marijuana in everyday life since the stone age. Chinese people use marijuana for woven clothing, medicines, and healing therapies such as rheumatic diseases, abdominal pain, beri-beri to malaria.

BY its history, marijuana was brought to Aceh from India at the end of the 19th century when the Dutch opened a coffee plantation in the Gayo Highlands. The invaders used cannabis as a natural remedy to avoid the attack of coffee tree pests or caterpillars on tobacco plants. Although the Dutch took him to the highlands of Aceh, but according to the facts, the plant does not mean entirely derived from his country. Could be this plant is collected from other Asian mainland. Among the young people of the archipelago, more familiar marijuana is called bakong ijo, gelek, cimeng or rasta. While other cool designations are tampee, pot, weed, dope.

Problem marijuana, certainly not missed Aceh. But the claim can not necessarily be greeted negatively, because it is true. There is even a claim that this 1001 rencong land is also known as the largest marijuana producer in Southeast Asia after Thailand. Almost every inch of Aceh is decorated with marijuana plants. Inevitably, the Aceh issue as a producer of this magic plant has even been worldwide.

The proliferation of marijuana plants in Aceh is strongly supported by geographical conditions, fertile soils, regular rain, and mountainous positions with relatively stable climates, plus isolation due to conflicts since Dutch times, DI-TII until the era of GAM. Well, people in remote areas are threatened by hunger and poverty due to the conflict. Residents took the initiative to grow marijuana to survive.

Almost no Acehnese who never tasted it, there are those who enjoy it via the delicious cigarettes, spices, dodol, coffee mixture, to be processed into various other foods, the rest sold out of Aceh.

After many years and sprouting almost throughout Aceh, marijuana began to be consumed, primarily made up of 'good cigarettes', which is slowly mentradisi in Aceh. Even if there is cooking, it is considered not perfect if the marinade is not mixed with cannabis seeds. This tradition is difficult to eradicate or eradicate again there.
