    Some grow ..Some smuggle .. some use for medicinal purpose.some meditate.. some use religiously.. some sell and some consume this naturally grown marijuana in Nature but our efficient and non corrupt police only have laws for consuming students.
    This naturally grown herb is legalised in some of the most Powerful and developed countries even India should legalize herb and BAN Alcohol after all studies have proven alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana, even alcohol and cow slaughter is banned in many states. Else start Taxes, then our Sincere Govt will approve Ganja. Police should concentrate on Corrupt govt officialls rather than innocent student s who will be cool and who will Only harm themselves after consuming marijuana . If u raid police stations one will find more than a KG of Ganja hidden in advance to lock down students as they cannot bribe any police officials. Bribe police and you can do anything you want. Those who consume Higher Grade drugs are rarely caught if they have no contacts. SHame on you Police, instead of rehabilitating students, you are destroying their careers and futures thus making them prone to more dangerous drugs.

    Marijuana has been made legal in the USA and Israel and has been proven scientifically to treat many medical conditions.
    Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 has, made the possession and consumption of Marijuana Illegal throughout India after pressure was laid on Indian Prime Minister Late. Shri Rajiv Gandhi by the US Govt., Marijuana was never illegal and was a part of Indian Culture through ages.
