BANDA ACEH - Aceh's National Provincial Narcotics Agency (BNNP) stated that the number of people exposed to drugs in Indonesia's westernmost province reached more than 80 thousand people, on average, users of marijuana-type narcotics.
"The drug user or who was exposed to drugs in Aceh is approximately 80 thousand people or about 1.7 percent (of the total population of Aceh of more than 5.5 million people)," said Head of BNNP Aceh, Brigadier General Pol Marzuki Ali Basyah, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday 24 July.
The statement was made by Brigadier General Pol Marzuki Ali Basyah at the opening of the Berdikari Tani program (Clean from drugs, independent in food security and inflation), in Gampong Leungah, Seulimuem District, Aceh Besar District.
He said, of the 80 thousand people in Aceh who were exposed to the narcotics, 80 percent were of marijuana. Therefore, never be proud when you say Aceh's marijuana is the greatest in the world. But the Acehnese generation started using drugs from marijuana.
Marzuki said that when he was still in elementary, junior high, high school, drug users were mostly people. But now, those who don't have money also use drugs.
"Take a little to ecstasy, increase a little shabu-shabu. Later, if there is more money, it will go up a little more to cocaine, heroin. And, all drug users are methamphetamine and so on, 70 percent are crazy, and poor," he said.
He hopes that the community will not be influenced by drugs, because, if you use it once, you will be addicted.
In addition, he also mentioned that 80 percent of various types of narcotics in Indonesia are supplied through Aceh waters.
