1. As District Officer I have opportunities of
obtaining information regarding the subject-matter
at hand.
These answers have been prepared by the Excise
Deputy Collector. I believe them to be correct.
2. Yes, the definitions seem to be correct.
These articles are locally known by the names of
bhang, charas, and ganja.
3. Only the hemp plant known as bhang grows
