REPORT OF THE INDIAN HEMP DRUGS COMMISSION, 1893-94.
[APP.
BUNDI STATE MEMORANDUM.
No control of any kind is exercised on the growth of the plant.
Hemp drugs are not manufactured in the State. They are imported for sale from for-
eign States both by wholesale dealers and petty shopkeepers.
Land rent is not separately levied and custom duty is charged at 8 annas a maund. There
are two kinds of ganja known as "Indori" and "Shahbadi." Besides these the State knows
nothing of any other kind.
There is one uniform system throughout the State. No officer is appointed for its
administration, nor is it in any way supervised or based on any Act or rules.
Wild hemp is not found in the State. The drug is imported for sale both by foreign and
home traders. The quantity grown in the State is disposed of by traders of the State.
Cultivators grow the hemp plant on land irrigated by wells as other crops. No prohibi-
tion or restriction exists as to its cultivation, nor is any sort of control exercised.
Ganja and other drugs are imported for sale by traders of foreign States and by maha-
jans, " pansaris," and " tambolis" of the State. The system of issuing license is not in force,
nor is there any arrangement for controlling the transport of the drugs.
The wholesale and retail vendors are not under any control. They are at liberty to dis-
pose of the drugs in any way they like.
Import and transit duties on ganja, bhang, and charas when brought into the State or
passing through it are charged at the uniform rate of 8 annas per maund. Persons found
evading the raj duty are charged double the amount, viz., Re. 1 per maund.
Regular or special shops for the sale of the drugs do not exist anywhere in the State, nor
are the latter given on contract. Traders and shopkeepers are at liberty to sell the same any-
where they choose without let or hindrance.
No rate is fixed at which the drug must be supplied by wholesale to retail vendors. The
average price per maund is given below, and varies according to the state of the market:-

No limit is fixed as to the amount, whether maximum or minimum, which should be sold
to, or be in the possession of ordinary consumers. The minimum price of the drugs is given in
the preceding answer.
There being no prohibition for the importation of the drugs smuggling is not resorted to.
Similarly, there being no prevention for their growth, illicit cultivation is not carried on.
Proposals for modifying the present excise system are under consideration.
Bhang only is cultivated on a few pieces of land watered by wells, but the outturn cannot
be estimated. The extent of trade for the past eleven years is as follows:—

(i) None.
(j) Hardly any smuggling from other provinces or States; No special preventive
measures are taken or are considered necessary.
(k) It is under contemplation to institute a system of excise for decreasing the con-
sumption and controlling the sale of the hemp drugs, by restricting the privi-
lege of the selling of the drugs to licensed vendors alone, without any limit
being placed on the number of licenses for some time, and by increasing the
duty chargeable on these drugs.
It is not contemplated to fix any maximum or minimum retail prices, as in the absence of
any limit to the number of licenses, the competition between the various licensed vendors and
the increased duty would conduce to bring about a fair regulation of the prices.

REPORT OF THE INDIAN HEMP DRUGS COMMISSION, 1893-94.
[APP.
In so far as a single experiment goes the results in this case would, then, seem to show
that the habitual inhalation of the smoke of dhatura, even when only practised for a relatively
brief period, is sufficient to establish serious morbid changes in the cerebral nervous centres,
and that it therein differs from the habitual inhalation of the smoke of ganja extending over a
much more prolonged period. This clearly indicates the necessity of distinguishing between
cases in which ganja alone is employed from those in which a mixture of ganja and dhatura
is substituted for it, as otherwise certain prejudicial effects which are really due to the use of
the latter drug may be erroneously credited to the former one.

stand in warm water for a few hours. If cold water is used for the extraction, it requires
more than 24 hours for complete saturation, and before that time the extract shows signs of
fermentation. One portion of the watery extract was evaporated to complete dryness, another
portion was precipitated with solution of acetate of lead to separate the organic acid, and the
third portion, if sugar was present, was used to titrate a measured volume of Fehling's copper
test. The nitrogen was determined by combustion with soda-lime, and existed in the plant
mostly as albuminoids, although some was yielded by the alkaloids, and in some cases by a
soluble salt of ammonium. The proximate analysis of ganja and bhang was commenced with
ether, which is the best solvent for the active resins, and dissolves very little extraneous
matter. The subsequent action of rectified spirit (sp: gr: o. 83) removed a resin acid, alka-
loids, and in some cases a saccharine body reducing Fehling's solution. By adding together
the ether extract and the resin acid, the result equals the amount of washed resin obtained by
the direct spirit extract. If the spirit extract in the proximate analysis is much over 2 per
cent., it points to the presence of sugar; absolute alcohol, on the other hand, does not dissolve
this sugar so easily. Dr. Prain used petroleum ether for the first solvent to act upon the drug,
and the dried extract obtained by this liquid was returned as " fixed oil, etc." If this were the
case, then all the extracts of Indian hemp would consist mostly of fixed oil, whereas the ex-
tracts from all ganjas consist, as I shall show presently, of resins with a small proportion of
fixed oil. Petroleum ether is a good solvent of the resins, and is of no use in effecting a
separation between them and the oil. The best method is to separate the seeds from the sample
before the analysis, and so exclude the source of the oil. A misconception seems to have
arisen from a statement made by Roux, a French Chemist, in 1887, that the ethereal extract is
inert. If the ethereal extraction follows that of petroleum ether, then, perhaps, the product
is inert, but direct exhaustion of the drug with ether certainly does not yield inert resins.
Dr. Prain estimated, by an indirect method, the essential oil in some samples of ganja, and
obtained some high results, over 6 per cent. in most cases. Indirect methods of estimating
volatile oils give higher figures than by direct distillation, and are not to be depended upon.
I have recently distilled one of the most fragrant ganjas, that from the Kistna district, and it
yielded less than one per cent. of colourless essential oil, having the peculiar odour of the drug.
The essential oil in the other samples has not been determined. The remaining analytical
methods do not require any further explanation.

Seeds in ganja.-Samples of ganja contain variable amounts of seeds, or, properly speak-
ing, fruits. A fresh sample of "sadai" ganja from Co:mbatore contained a large number
of ripe fruits, and as it was said to afford commercial ganja, I carefully dried some of it in
the sun, and separated the seed3 from the other vegetable structures. The seeds weighed
53.5 per cent, of the dried sample, but if such a sample had been manufactured by being
rolled or flattened out before it was dry, many of the seeds would have been lost. Some of
the commercial samples of bhang contained much seed, notwithstanding the opinion that
bhang is the produce of the male plant. The specimen of Hyderabad bhang, when cleaned,
yielded 44 per cent, of seeds, with some stones and other impurities. In the case of a simi-
larly impure specimen from Surat, the drug, after the larger stones had been "removed, was
powdered up with the seeds and other impurities. The analysis of such a sample shows an
increase in the ether extract due to the oil, and an increase in the mineral matter due to the
sand, and is far from uniform with the other specimens. Twelve commercial samples of
Ganjam ganja, very different in appearance, were found to contain from 5.1 to 38.7 per cent.
of seeds, or an average of 20 per cent. As the seeds contain 25 per cent. of fixed oil, five
parts of the ether extract obtained from an average sample of such ganja, without removing
the seeds, would consist of oil. In preparing samples of ganja and bhang for analysis the,
seeds that fell out in breaking up the drug were rejected altogether, and I do not think
that, in the foregoing tables of analysis, more than a very small proportion of the resinous
extract consisted of oil from the seeds.
Composition of the seeds.—The cleaned seeds, separated from the Hyderabad bhang were
reduced to fine powder, and analysed with the following results

REPORT BY MR. DAVID HOOPER, GOVERNMENT QUINOLOGIST, MADRAS. 205
Allahabad majum was a whitish soft mass of peculiar ghee-like odour, and containing
vegetable debris similar to that from ganja. It contained 4 per cent. of ghee and 1.3 per cent.
of vegetable matter insoluble in water. There was no trace of alkaloid present.
Benares majum was in cakes of the same colour and odour, and was nearly pure sugar.
It contained 1.4 per cent. of fat, and 1 per cent. of leafy portions; no foreign seeds were
discovered and no alkaloid could be detected.
Bombay majum was in the form of yellow-coloured cakes flavoured with spice, and with
very little ganja. It contained 4.9 per cent. of ghee soluble in ether, and 2.7 per cent. of
brown vegetable matter referable to cloves, cassia and saffron. No alkaloid was present.
Amballa majum was in opaque white masses with a slight greenish tinge and odour of
ghee. It contained 7.3 per cent. of ghee soluble in ether, and no vegetable structures of a
green colour as in other samples. No alkaloid was found.
Hyderabad majum was in the form of square cakes covered on one side with silvered paper.
One kind was white and contained 2.3 per cent. of ghee, the other was coloured yellow with
saffron and contained only 1.2 per cent. No seeds or vegetable structures were observed.
This had been doubtless strained through a cloth before being boiled down. With these
samples came a mixture, wrapped up in a leaf, of powdered raisins and white sugar. When this
was examined, several other substances were found, such as pieces of almonds, seeds of various
kinds, stamens of some plant, some cereal grains and spice. The little black seeds were further
examined microscopically and were found to consist of two kinds, one with three angles,
probably from a polygonaceous plant, and the others were, in very small quantity, the seeds
of dhatura. This is the only sample in which I have found dhatura seed present.
Coimbatore, Ootacamund and Tanjore majums were black soft masses of a liquorice-like
odour and sweet taste. An analysis was not attempted of either sample, but they were each
broken down with water, and among the insoluble portion a search was made for dhatura
seeds, nux vomica, etc., but without success. The amount of leafy organs, such as would come
from the ganja, was in a very small proportion. In Ootacamund there is a black majum used
for adults, and a white kind given to children, but as sold in the ganja-shop they are not very
powerful preparations.

REPORT BY SURGEON-CAPTAIN J. F. EVANS, CHEMICAL EXAMINER TO
THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL, REGARDING PHYSIOLOGICAL IN-
VESTIGATIONS CONCERNING HEMP DRUGS.
I have the honour to submit herewith the report asked for in your letter No. 48, dated
18th August 1893, as amended by demi-official letter dated 1st November 1893, from
Surgeon-Major Warden, to the Officiating Chemical Examiner to Government, Bengal,
directing that the chemical analysis should be carried out by Mr. Hooper, Quinologist to the
Government of Madras, and the physiological investigation in this laboratory.

B.-SPECIMENS SELECTED AS STANDARD HEMP DRUGS.
Bengal round ganja of the season 1892-93, which had been carefully packed in a per-
forated deal-box and brought down to Calcutta from Nowgaon by Surgeon-Captain Prain in
May 1893, was selected as the "standard ganja" with which the samples received from you
were to be compared.
Bhagalpur imported siddhi of the season 1893, which was received from the Board of
Revenue, Lower Provinces, Bengal, in April 1894, was utilised as the standard bhang with
which the samples received from the Commission were to be compared.
C.-PREPARATION AND PERCENTAGE YIELD OF ALCOHOLIC EXTRACT.
1. Alcoholic extracts of the eighteen specimens of hemp drugs were prepared as follows:
The coarser stalks were removed, and the leaves, flowering stalks and finer stalks
reduced in a mortar to a powder, which was passed through a sieve having fifty meshes to the
inch. Twenty grammes of the fine powder thus prepared were macerated during a period
exceeding one week in rectified spirit to form a tincture. One hundred cubic centimetres of
the tincture evaporated over a water-bath to syrupy consistence, and subsequently dried in a
hot oven till the weight became constant, gave the alcoholic extract.
