Marijuana good to eat, says politician.
June 28, 2007
In a nation renowned for its extremely harsh punishment for drug crimes, Indonesia’s Vice President said it was just fine and dandy for Marijuana to be included in everyday cooking
“It’s alright to use it as a food seasoning,” VP Jusuf Kalla was quoted as saying by the Jakarta Post daily.
The comments come after two Indonesian agencies recommended the government review policy outlawing marijuana for recreational purposes.
One official even reckons national policy should follow counties like the Netherlands, and legalise modest use of the wacky weed.
Indo VP High as a kite?
Local Indonesian dishes like mutton and beef curry are said to be laced with marijuana seeds to give them a distinctive local flavour.
Indonesia imposes very harsh penalties including death for drug offences, with 6 Australians, 5 Chinese, a Dutchman and a Frenchman all on death row for recent offences
