"20. Ganja vendors, who are unable to dispose, within the month, of the whole quantity
of ganja to which their jama entitles them, may be permitted to draw the balance in the
succeeding month without further payment of duty."
Combined duty and fixed monthly
license-fee system.
7. The fixed duty system continued up to 1860-61, or for about seven years, when a fixed
fee of Rs. 4 per mensem was prescribed for each ganja license
in addition to the duty at the prescribed rate on all quantities
passed to the shop for retail sale, the previous rule regarding
the quantity to be taken by each shop being at the same time withdrawn. A revised form of
ganja license, necessitated by these changes, was issued with the Board's circular order No. 26
of 1st June 1860.
Summary.
8. Thus there was a daily tax system from 1790 to 1853 (with farming system from
1824), fixed duty system from 1853 to 1860, fixed license-fee
and duty system from 1860 to 1876, when the present
system came into force.

of all forms of hemp-drugs, but is largely used and much esteemed as a tonic by very
many people who do not take it for its intoxicant effects and who only use it at certain seasons
and in certain states of health. I cannot frame any estimate of the number of bhang con-
sumers. Only a portion of those who use it, take it regularly all the year round and it is used
in very variable quantities. There is no safe estimate of the amount consumed, and it is used
for other purposes than human consumption.
41. The returns showing the annual revenue from hemp-drugs are complete and some
deductions may be drawn from them. To facilitate this I append an abstract statement show-
ing the district and provincial revenues since 1873-74.

Ganja, after being cut, is stored in a convenient place, and is daily crushed by the culti-
vators with their feet before it is made in small bundles. This is done when the ganja is
green.
A certain amount of charas is obtained in this (Gwalior) State by scraping off the resin
which adheres to the hands in cutting the ganja plant. In tahsíl Antri cultivators do not care
much about the charas. In tahsíl Kolaras, district Narwar, I hear charas is obtained in small
quantities by the same process as in Kumaun and Garhwal.

Statistics of consumption.

was:—

It will be seen from these figures that the consumption of this form of drug is heaviest in
the Delhi and Jullundur Divisions, while in the Rawalpindi and frontier Divisions it is com-
paratively small. I am not prepared to give any explanation of these facts. Within Divisions
the consumption is distributed on the whole very evenly. For further details I would
refer to Provincial Excise Statement C published with the Annual Excise Administration
Reports.
For bhang the following details (consumption in maunds) may be given:—.

In none of the remaining districts did the consumption exceed 100 maunds. With regard to
these figures of the consumption of bhang one very important fact is established. The Mu-
hammadan population of the south-western districts (Mooltan, Muzaffargarh, and Dera Ghazi
Khan), who are prohibited by their religion from the use of spirits, are to a very large extent
addicted to drinking an infusion of bhang as an intoxicant. It will be observed that the con-
sumption in the two districts of Mooltan and Dera Ghazi Khan is between one-fourth and
one-fifth of that of the whole province. In these districts bhang is undoubtedly a substitute
with the Muhammadan population for the spirits which their creed forbids them to take.
Another fact that may be noted is that the districts of Ferozepore, Ludhiana, Lahore, and
Amritsar, which come after Mooltan and Dera Ghazi Khan in this matter of consumption of

Western Provinces, which they may subsequently enter with the charas. The
article, its quantity (both gross weight of the package and net weight of the
charas being given), and destination are stated in the pass, and the package is seal-
ed up with the official seal of the Deputy Commissioner. It may be opened at
any head-quarters station or tahsil while on the way to its destination, and a
portion of its contents may be sold to the farmer of excise for drugs, the fact being
recorded on the pass, and the package resealed. The owners must be warned that
if the package is found open and any charas is sold from it, except as above stated,
they will be proceeded against under the Excise Laws, and the package will be
liable to confiscation."
Where a consignment is conveyed by rail, the provision requiring it to be taken to the
Deputy Commissioner, &c., of every district through which it passes is dispensed with. Rules
8—13 may also, if necessary, be referred to.

practices of other kinds are, I believe, unknown. It will, I think, be clear from
this memorandum that there is really no room for such practices. No special
measures of prevention have been found necessary.
(k) The modifications of the present system, which are under consideration, have been
described in the early part of this memorandum.
(l) The sources of supply, the extent of cultivation and trade, as well as the other heads
mentioned here, have been examined in the memorandum.

Columns 3—8.—There is no cultivation of the plant for narcotics.
Columns 9—16.—Only details with regard to the import and export of charas are available in the Excise Returns.
Please see paragraph
7 of the memorandum. What import there is (and it is of trifling amount) of other forms of the manufactured drug
has been included under charas.
For the year 1892-93 what is shown under the head of imports (column 10) are the
quantities coming into each district, whether brought from beyond the frontier or from one of our own districts, and
the same remark applies to the entries of exports (14). The Excise Statistics of that year were prepared in this manner,
so as to give us reliable figures of the quantity retained in each district for consumption.
