I am writing this based on some of my reading and my observations marijuana case in Aceh.

marijuana in Aceh, used to be sold freely in the market, hung-hanging in the stalls, in the vegetable vender carts. Ganja started prohibited when Hoegeng became head of the Dutch colonial government for the archipelago. He wanted to know the cause of youth Aceh lazing were considered detrimental to the Dutch economy. Then he disguised, go to the villages and was found the answer: because smoking marijuana.

The proliferation of marijuana plants in Aceh strongly supported by geography, land is also fertile, regular rainfall, and the position of the mountains with a relatively stable climate, coupled isolation as a result of the conflict since the Dutch era, DI-TII to GAM era. Well, the people residing in the remote areas in danger of starvation and poverty as a result of the conflict. Residents took the initiative to plant marijuana to survive.

Problem marijuana, would not escape Aceh. But the claim could not immediately be greeted negatively, because it is true. In fact there are claims that the land in 1001 rencong is also known as the largest marijuana producer in Southeast Asia after Thailand. Almost every inch of the wilds of Aceh decorated cannabis plants. Inevitably, the issue of Aceh as a producer of this miracle plant has even worldwide. To the extent that the Commission's 49th session of the UN Drugs (UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs) on 13-17 March 2006 in Vienna Austria, also discussed about this phenomenon. It is said that more international public perception that the province already has a trade mark as 'cannabis farm' biggest supplier of cannabis at the same topnotch quality.

But government Indonesia forbid: Why marijuana is prohibited? This is what should be understood by the public at large. Though the various campaigns have been carried out, even the government itself has issued a law on the prohibition of the production process, distribution to the stage of the consumption of cannabis. Law No. 22 1997 on narcotics classifies marijuana; seeds, fruit, hay, processed or parts of the cannabis plant, including cannabis resin and results as narcotics group I, which means one class with opium and cocaine.

Article 82, paragraph 1, point a Law states that importing, exporting, offering for sale, distributes, sells, buys, delivers, be an intermediary in the sale and purchase, or exchange narcotics Category I, shall be punished with death or imprisonment for life, or imprisonment for a period of twenty years and a fine of at most one billion rupiah.

why it should be banned with the punishment so powerful ....

why not find other solutions to develop their business legally marijuana ....

I think there are political elements
