It is most unfortunate that our law-enforcing agencies exult in catching some one caught with possessing hemp! Worse still, the images of the accused are shown to all in the media with the police grinning with pride!! What about the naxals and anti-social elements that cause hatred and harm the innocent every day in our midst? Why can't these police catch these people? what has happened to the recent case of illegal kidney trade?

I strongly urge our honourable judges to look into this. Can they please stop these police from exulting in catching petty thieves? And instead work sincerely towards putting behind bar all those merchants of hatred and violence?

Probably Mr Blann and Me are the one's who are for the use of Hemp. I Fully agree with mr. Blaan. I do not know much about the the medicinal values of Hemp. But I am sure it is a best best apetiser. Let me share one of the incident of my college days.

Once I smoked one cigaratte joint and I could eat 20 chapathis in liu of 2 chapathis as normal. Please misuse hemp and if you use it carefully it is good for health. Why Indian Government is againist the use of Hemp???? May be the revenue to the Governament is less than selling the harmful alchohol to the poor.

Hemp (jap. asa or taima) is the common English (Japanese) name for the plant that is botanically known as cannabis sativa L. Cannabis is one of the first plants cultivated by man and one of the most versatile. It can supply us with fibre for clothes and paper from its stem, oil for food and fuel from its seeds and medicine from its flowers. It provides us with one of the safest medicinal, recreational and spiritual drugs known to man, arguably less harmful than alcohol or cigarettes or many over-the-counter or prescription drugs.

Yet despite these facts cultivation, possession and use of hemp can lead to criminal penalties that are harsher than those for many violent crimes. Some strains of the cannabis plant contain between 2 and 20% of a substance called THC which has euphoriant and medicinal properties. THC-rich cannabis hemp is also known as Indian hemp and is used in two primary forms: As dried leaves and flowers ("marijuana") or as compressed resin and other plant material ("hashish"). It is either inhaled or eaten. In China and Egypt cannabis has been used as a medicine for at least 5000 years and it is probably one of the most thorougly researched drugs in the world.

There has never been even one death from a cannabis overdose or from an allergic reaction to the drug. Drug abuse experts rate it about as addictive as coffee. One hemp grower Hemp is also one of oldest and one the most important fibre and oilseed plants.

Until the Industrial Revolution it provided most of the textiles worn in Europe, America and Japan, as well as most of the paper. Hemp seed oil burnt in lamps before petroleum came in use. The world's finest paintings are painted on hemp linen with hemp oil. Industrial hemp is legal to grow in 29 countries worldwide (including all G7 nations except the USA) and is explicitly exempt from international drug treaties, under which it need not be subject to stricter regulations than spinach or tomatoes. Growing hemp for horticultural purposes is also exempt.

Usually varieties of cannabis grown for fibre and seed are low in THC (< 1% THC) but high in CBD which counteracts the effects of THC, making these plants completely unusable as a recreational drug, even if their THC content was as high as 1%. We believe that as a valuable renewable resource hemp should be re-introduced into agriculture and industry.

We also think that spiritual, medical and recreational use of cannabis should not be punished as a crime. Cannabis drugs for non-medical use should be subject to regulations and taxes similar to those for alcohol and tobacco.
