Legalization of cannabis in India

Finally Some good news.
India has a long history since ancient times, parts of cannabis [hemp], for instance, have been used for medicinal purposes.. "Patanjali Ayurveda" a well known household herbal FMCG company is planning to ace cannabis research.

Balakrishna CEO of Patanjali while speaking at a TEDx event last month said, “By criminalizing marijuana, we are denying a full-fledged business opportunity to our people.”

All intoxicating properties from the plant would be cleansed before using it for medicinal purposes. Much of the cannabis plant is good for health too, Balakrishna added.

At its research and development centre in Haridwar, a team of some 200 scientists is looking into the benefits of various indigenous Indian plant species and their extracts for use in medicines and other products. Cannabis is one of them.

This in many ways will help legalization of marijuana in India.

Cheers potheads.
