    Abdullah, R these drug sellers force feeding drugs to their coustomers ? Everyone has their mind, its their choice to consume and continue to consume drugs. The countries you have mentioned are not democratic,even if they mass murder their citizens, no one has the voice to talk about. India is a democratic, anyone can challenge the govt... that's the beauty !

    In Saudi arabia they behead these dealers.
    In Iran they hang them in public.
    In china they shoot.
    In democratic India -they go scot free after few hearings.
    do you know how many innocent poor lives and families they destroy?
    By Law all :Pimps-druglords- peddlers-extortionists- money launderers-rapists-killers-hawala dealers should be uted summarily in 24 hours and their organs to be used for needy patients.

    Why did you add Peddlers?
    Weed, Ganja, Marijuana is not a Drug!
    It is a Herb. It has a lot of Benefits.
    Try to learn something about that plant before you say this and that about this wonderful plant.

    This is not something new in Manipal area. Because of the influx of rich multinational students at Manipal drug trafficking has been in full swing for the past many years. It is high time for the authorities and the Manipal Educationists to wake up and do something to control this menace, otherwise what kind of Doctors and Engineers we will be producing??

    Thousands of parents are already crying secretly since their kids are hopelessly led astray by these innocent looking monsters. The only solution to this horrible menace is to ensure those caught will never sell again. How do we do that ? Feed the the same stuff till they are done away with ?put them behind bars for life ? anything is welcome that can save our next generation.

    It is given to understand in some articles there are narcotic plantation is active inbetween the Rubber,Arecanut,Banana plantation surrounding the districts. To curb out the menace the District authorities should take a stringent action to monitor such places. Recently there was a report in KERALA big haul of narcotics plantation found in between the hills. Those who involved were arrested, Govt. has taken appropriate action.

    Feel sad reading this.. My personal view - The boys here are not only spoiling their life and image but also putting shame to their family where they could have seen it stating "Son Of" for a better achivement!!! rather than this trafficking incident..to stop this crime It should be a collective effort not only of the society or govt..but in this modern world do families have time to check on their kids?

    Police should feed these boys with the same ganja everyday and send them to hell. These culprits don't have any respect to their life given by their parents and spoiling others life too.

    @Conrad

    Being a Pharmacist, I would expect you to know that "ganja" is not a drug. It is regulated in a lot of countries and allowed for public use.

    It certainly is something to because it is considered to be a gateway drug. also you can't compare it to terrorism, maybe an epidemic. I don't mean to ruin your comment, just putting the facts out there.

    so young 'boys' involved in selling 'ganja'..!! may be someone 'provoked' for small sum to do such things.. in the beginning drug dealers selling the stuff for college students in a 'joint' free-of-charge..after addiction they themselves bound to buy the product..!! when it will going to stop god only knows..!! pakistan somewhat successful..to involve youngsters in these act..most of northern states..already into it..!! many source of our neighbouring countries itself is 'drugs' without which there 'economy' won't survive.. and for them market itself is India and other asian countries as well as middle east..!! really strange..!!
