ganjika

what i heard actually is that ganges means tension, and that gangica means release of tension, therefore the name ganja is broken translation used by rastas in the west indes as a bad translation of the original term, which was gangika, meaning release of tension. This is what i was told, though i'm having trouble finding the proof for this.

My body and mind are tense like this river, let me relieve my tension with ganjika
