Villagers think weed is weed

YOGYAKARTA: Police here are looking into a report by Dlingo
villagers that a weed known as orok-orok is in fact a type of
marijuana.

Bantul Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. L. Manihuruk said his
detectives had taken samples of the weed from the forest near
Dlingo village for examination. He said police were responding to
reports from villagers that a youth became intoxicated after
smoking some orok-orok.

"Late on Tuesday we received a tip from Dlingo residents that
there were hundreds of marijuana plants in the nearby forest," he
said.

A team of police detectives were dispatched to check on the
report and take samples.

"However, after a thorough check we concluded the plants were
definitely not marijuana," Manihuruk said.

"Even if the plants are not marijuana, we still need to
investigate further," Manihuruk said as quoted by Antara.
