Is cannabis legal in India?
India permits licensed bhang shops (bhang made from cannabis leaves) in states where it is allowed — this is a traditional exception, not general legalization of flower, resin, hash or charas. Age, ID and other conditions vary by state. Tourists can sometimes buy, depending on the state and local rules.
How to buy: In a state that licenses bhang shops, meet the state's age/ID conditions and buy bhang made from cannabis leaves; flower, resin and hash are not legal.
THC: No all-India cap; depends on state and recipe. Product limited to leaf bhang only.
