ORIGIN: The word Ganja actually comes from the word Ganges, referring to the Ganges River, which is a river in India where Cannabis Indica grew naturally. Cannabis indica was brought to the west indies, and is therefore referred to as Ganga.

For those who didn’t know.
“While swiming in the ganges river, I came across some Ganja, so i smoked it.”

The 500 hectares was not given to Rasta “for their worship,” but was given to Africans of the diaspora for our support during the Italian-Ethiopian war.

In terms of the smoking stuff, Cannibus, Hemp, Ganja is the healing of Africa and all nations. All persons concerned should do some serious research. Hemp is one of the greatest industrial products available to man. It could solve many of the vexing problems being faced by many African nations. Soil erosion, deforestation, environmental problems and hazards being caused by unnatural cotton plantations are just a few problems that can be solved by Hemp/Cannibus cultivation and industrialization.

In America, where hemp was originally criminalized, Cannibus could replace many industrial and medical products. Many hemp activists suggest that this is one of the main reasons it is criminalized. One of the first directors of FDA was also tied to a textile industry that saw hemp as a direct threat to business. Not to mention that some of the first anti-cannibus laws were racist and aimed at Mexican immigrants. African nations should not be crippled by others policies on something so important to African industrial potential and culture.

It is also worth thinking about and researching the fact that the name Ganja is Ethiopian in origin.
