hey, I want to share some real fact about why is Marijuana is heavily punished and banned in Indonesia. As you guys already knew, Aceh is the largest place that cannabis can be found in Indonesia. And by reading the article above you will also found out that the world supply of cannabis also heavily supplied by Aceh.

Okay, many countries still prohibit the use and distribution of marijuana, although some may already regulated and only distributing will be punished while not for using. But in Indonesia, we used to have GAM (Free Aceh Movement) which are militant that want to overthrown the Indonesian Government.

Not really common in news, but the fact is they actually gain easy access to funding by selling the marijuana, and since they are militant and used to be ruling some part of Aceh, it became they main income to fund they movement. Hope this is useful, since GAM is dibanded now, hopefully they can revised the Law for marijuana soon. Peace out.
