Zambuanga or Zambu'wanga

Zambuanga (Zambu'wanga is the alternate spelling) is also known as La La Land. This is a Stoner reference to where someone goes when they black out from taking too big a hit of potand passing out. Generally this condition will happen if someone hyperventilates and immediately takes a bong hit.

When someone passes out they are "Off to Zambuanga." This term was used by stoners of the 1970s into the early 1980s. It is reflexively usable for anyone passed out on drugs and/or alcohol. It can be used to express someone being knocked out.

That bum sleeping on the bus bench is out like he is off in Zambuanga.

Example 2:

Example 3:

Example 5:
