MARIJUANA possession should remain a crime in Indonesia, but chefs who use it to season curries should not be arrested, the country's Vice-President says.

 

Cooks in Aceh province and other regions in the north of Sumatra island say they use tiny amounts of crushed marijuana leaves or seeds as a spice in certain dishes.

 

Vice-President Yusuf Kalla said that there was "no way" Indonesia would legalise or decriminalise marijuana as some countries in western Europe have done.

 

"It is all right to use it as a food seasoning, but it should not be fully legalised," Kalla was quoted as saying by The Jakarta Post.

 

Mr Kalla did not address the problems such a stance might pose to police tasked with arresting marijuana users.

 

Officers have never previously cracked down on the use of marijuana in the kitchen or said the practice was a particular problem.

 

Mr Kalla and the police chief both reiterated their support for the death penalty for drug traffickers, noting that neighbouring Malaysia and Singapore also execute offenders.
