Gives marijuana to liaison crossing West-Asian peninsula (8)
I believe the answer is:
anatolia
'peninsula' is the definition.
(Anatolia is an example)
'gives marijuana to liaison crossing' is the wordplay.
'crossing' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the clue crosses over the answer).
'ANATOLIA' can be found hidden inside 'gives marijuana to liaison'.
'west-asian' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anatolia that I've seen before include "Asian part of Turkey" , "Peninsula" , "Asia Minor" , "Turkish area" , "Region of Turkey" .)
