Marijuana In India(Past and Present)


In India people have been using marijuana since 2000 B.C. and was legal for public to use till 1985, when Indian government banned the use of Marijuana in the country under Americas pressure to consider it as synthetic drug. Even though a large number of people still smoke marijuana in country and is also consumed by bhakts of Lord Shiva on Mahashivratri as thandai(milkshake).

There was a time in early 80s and 90s when people use to empty out the the cigarette and reload it with marijuana. then came acrpet like capstain thick papers and people learned to roll. in last decade the number of pot smokers has doubled in India with King size rolling papers and filters available at almost every nook and shop in India.

Based on a study by AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) reported that an approx of  7.2 million people smoke marijuana in India last year with highest percentage of stoners in Delhi and Mumbai.

India May Soon Legalize Marijuana


India may soon legalize marijuana production in other states too after Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh might be the second state to legalize marijuana in India. Over the years it has been seen that this bans have been of no good to government and it has rather lead to Criminal organization in the country smuggling the drug and a lot of corruption. and second reason for lifting the ban is that marijuana has a natural Vedic properties and is even referred to one of the 5 sacred plants in Vedas with enormous number of uses. 

Studies from arround the world even show that people in states with marijuana legalization are more happy and joyfull.Reports also show that Patanjali has been approaching Government for marijuana legalization it in India so that we can produce own medicines in Country thus generating a good revenue. Well that sound like win-win for everyone so lets hope for the best.
