DON’T LEGALISE MARIJUANA

-

A movement is spreading in India to legalise marijuana, also known as cannabis, which is a psychoacti­ve drug. According to the diagnostic and statistica­l manual of mental disorder, marijuana is an ‘addictive substance’. In India, where even prescribed drugs are misused, one can imagine the disastrous consequenc­es of legalising a psychoacti­ve drug like marijuana.
