"Yamba", "Kali", "Peudo" or "Bonn", these are the names for weed in Dakar's ghettos, and weed is what you're talking about when it comes to drugs around here.
There's a lot of weed here, particularly in Pikine and Guediewaye where they stockpile it in wholesale quantities.

 Rolling a joint Weed, the herb of life
Psalm 104:14: He causes the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth.
Thus, Haji Salum, a young Rastafarian from Kinondoni, smokes weed. “Weed is considered ‘wisdom weed’ by Rastafarians, as it helps one to gain wisdom. For Rastafarians, it's part of a religious rite, as well as a means of getting closer to their inner spiritual self and Jah (God)”, says Haji.

 Refugees arriving in Senegal Senegal is considered to be a crossroad in Western-Africa. But contrary to what one may think, there aren’t that many refugees in the country. The main wave of refugees was during the Guinean war, when a great number of Guineans fled their country to seek refuge in Senegal. After that a great influx of refugees came during the Sierra Leonean and Liberian civil war: although most refugees rather went to neighbouring Guinea. That country was the best solution, as it was nearer and life was cheaper, but a few managed to reach the next country: Senegal.
