Well this plant is certainly illegal in India and some severe punishments are imposed if a person found the guilty of holding and using this Ganja plant. If I talk about it's medicinal values, then yeah, it has some extra-ordinary stuff that can cure many diseases like alziemer, it is apetite stimulant, helps in arthirits and asthma and list goes on.
Its as shame that governments including India are banning this stuff, rather it should have been allowed to use after making some strong rules.
Anyways thanks sir @surfyogi for this valuable piece of info.

THINK FOR A MOMENT WHY this plant is illegal in India, and why it is your duty to see these laws changed.
I wonder why it's illegal in India. Cannabis is often used during Hindu religious ceremonies. I guess the government tolerates that to some extent.
Well, it is illegal in India because people use it illegally for bad doings. These people with wrong intentions carry this plant from one place to another without paying any taxes, illegally and they sell it like drugs, a means of addiction. People do some irrational things when they are in its influence, sometimes they commit punishable offences, so government banned this stuff.
I really don't believe that is true..
People used to think the same in the US.
But no more.
Now it is seen as the new Green Rush, and many states want to collect taxes on it.
Many make it legal recreationally now, and we see no real difference in crime.
By the way, there is certainly no physical addiction present; and because humans became very much used to having this plant in the diet (over thousands of years), I believe this is a natural craving for it, and humans need it in their diet.
I completely agree with you sir. I think the government should legalise it and instead of punishing people for having this, instead collect taxes from them. In this way both people and government would be benefited. And yeah, as you have said, this plant should be included in diet as it's health benefits are just great. I'll read more about it and making awareness among people about it's positive uses. :)
India recently celebrated it's independence from British rule.
But keep in mind, this is the same thing, just better hidden in the bureaucracy.
