Cannabis in India - Wikipedia
Cannabis in India has been used since as early as 2000 BCE. In Indian society, common terms for cannabis preparations include charas (resin), ganja (flower), and bhang (seeds and leaves), with Indian drinks, such as, bhang lassi and bhang thandai, made from bhang, being one of the most common legal uses.. As of 2000, per the UNODC the "prevalence of usage" of cannabis in India was 3.2%.
