New Delhi: There is no complete ban on Cannabis in the country. The Central Government has said this in the Delhi High Court. The government has said that this plant has many medicinal and industrial uses, so there is no complete ban on it. Its medical and scientific use is allowed under the law. After this, the High Court refused to hear the petition early, which sought to make it legal by other means including medical use.
State that the petition was filed by the Great Litigation Movement India Trust in the Delhi High Court. But a bench headed by Justice Rajiv Shakdhar refused to hear the petition at the earliest. The petition also said that cannabis-emitted substances can help deal with the side effects of covid-19. The matter will be heard next in March. The petition challenges the provisions of the NDPS Act on the prohibition of drugs, which prohibit the use of cannabis.
The Central Government had appealed to the court through an affidavit last year that it was handling cannabis-related cases in a balanced manner. Therefore, matters related to this should be dismissed. Because the Centre has allowed state governments to produce, produce, manufacture, transport, inter-state imports, exports, buy and sell, use cannabis plants, but only for medical, scientific and industrial activities. No state government needs to look at the central government for this.
