What does DAGGA mean in Scrabble?
noun
South Africaninformal
An informal South African name for cannabis, referring to the plant itself or to marijuana made from it.
Dagga comes from Afrikaans and Khoekhoe roots and is the everyday name used across South Africa for this plant and the substance made from it, much as weed or pot serve elsewhere. Farmers once grew it for rope fiber, and healers used it in traditional remedies long before its recreational use became widespread. Courts and lawmakers in the region continue to debate its legal status, and the word turns up constantly in local news coverage of drug policy. A different plant, wild dagga, is sometimes confused with it despite belonging to another species entirely.
