In a country where death is the penalty for a narcotics offense — they don’t mind if you season your food with marijuana.
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesian Vice President Jusuf, who opposes legalising marijuana, doesn’t mind the drug being used in cooking, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
“It’s alright to use it as a food seasoning, but it should not be fully legalised,” Kalla was quoted as saying by the Jakarta Post daily.
Many of dishes in Aceh province, where hemp plants are grown, such as mutton and beef curry are said to be laced with marijuana seeds to give them a distinctive local flavour.
Check out this website for food seasoned with pot, like pasta and chili — beyond your average cookies and brownies. By the way, it’s not cool to tell someone after they’ve downed a bunch of your cookies that they are packed with marijuana. Not cool at all. Have fun. But be safe.

The seeds– the part of the plant used for seasoning– actually contain no THC, or at most a negligible amount, but I have heard that they’re tasty! Incidentally, the Japanese spice blend, Shichimi Togarashi, actually contains Cannabis, or Taima, seeds.
