Is cannabis Medicine Available in India?

 

Yes, cannabis medicine is available in India! And it’s perfectly safe.  Safer than paracetamol

If you do not know about the phenomenal rise of cannabis as a medicine, either you have been out of the news or you have not followed a legitimate cannabis page. You could follow our page Hempcann Solutions on Facebook to get to know how fast the cannabis world is evolving into a worldwide legal sensation. Humanity has woken up. Would a country like Canada legalise it across the board if it harmed its citizens? And Canada is just one country. To know more, click here.

 The other thing to understand about India is that during Holi and Mahashivratri,  cannabis is legal? Why? Because it is a religious tradition and we have a long history with it.

We are taking adequate measures and complying with the current rules, which are outdated anyway, so you can use it for your benefit.

In India, cannabis can be used for medical and scientific purposes. But our effort is to ensure that it becomes a totally legal crop. After all, cannabis is known as Cannabis indica, which means cannabis is a true-blue Indian herb. Just as an aside, did you know that mango is known as Mangifera indica?

 

Cannabis is not just ‘ganja’. There is more to it

Cannabis consists of a group of three flowering plants: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis.

When we say that the law is a bit vague, we mean that you can use the cannabis plant as long as you do not use the buds. Try to make sense of that!

In any case, to produce medicines from cannabis in India, the leaves of this plant are being harvested and dried up. The drug obtained from it is termed bhang, hemp oil, cannabis oil, Vijaya and so on. Just so you know, we do not like to use the word ‘drug’ because it has no known toxic side-effects. It is a medicine. A pure, natural medicine.

For centuries, cannabis has been used in India for medicinal and recreational purposes due to its many properties, one of which is that it is a stress-buster. And stress is one of the most lethal cause of other diseases, like diabetes for instance. Which is why it is given the pride of place in Ayurveda as one of the five most important medicinal herb.

In various parts of the globe, it has been used for treating multiple diseases such as glaucoma, nausea, chronic pain, muscle spasms, and for treatment of side-effects caused by HIV/AIDS and chemotherapy. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. If you wish to see its effectivity, try Cannapain, which is a medicine we make from cannabis leaves to manage pain effectively and in the long term. Your liver will love you for it, as it does not harm the liver like opioids do.

 

So, what’s inside cannabis?  

Cannabis consists of unique compounds, more than 120 of them, called cannabinoids. Currently, there is a lot of research going on in countries like the US and Israel to understand the role of cannabinoids in the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates our entire system.

What scientists have a thorough understanding of currently is about cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the two basic compounds found in cannabis. Both have therapeutic effects and versatility of use in the medicinal field, and we are only skimming the surface. Let’s tell you about these two in brief:  

CBD: This cannabidiol has a very minute psychotropic effect that too is non-intoxicating, which means it won’t get you “high”. It is mainly used for relieving pain and inflammation. It may also help in easing migraine, anxiety, nausea, and seizures and also to reduce the psychotic effects caused by THC. 

THC: This is the principal psychoactive element in cannabis. The component that contributes to the “high” factor in cannabis is THC. 

 

You will find various products that contain either CBD, or THC, or even both of them. But the ratio of THC and CBD is determined by the nature of the product. The products such as hemp oil and many other hemp products contain a higher quantity of CBD as compared to THC. On the other hand, products used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, and weight loss due to HIV infection, contain a higher concentration of THC.

 

Are cannabis and its products legal in India? 

To understand the significance and legality of cannabis in India, one should look back at the historical and medicinal importance of cannabis in India for ages. Cannabis has been given reference in Hindu Vedas, Atharvaveda, since around 2000 BCE. In fact, the timeline may be longer. For medicinal purposes, it was widely used by Korakkar, who is considered a great Siddha

As per UNODC, cannabis use in India as of the year 2000 was 3.2%. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment’s survey revealed that 2.83% of Indians, including senior citizens, use cannabis products for medicinal and recreational purposes. This evidently shows that cannabis is being used by a large section of society.

As far as the matter of its legality is concerned, the government is keen to withdraw the restrictions on some medicinal uses of cannabis due to increasing awareness about the remarkable benefits of using cannabis in severe diseases. If you want to buy cannabis medicine in India, you must reach out to some authentic and ethical producers of cannabis medicines, such as Vedi by HempCann Solutions. In short, yes cannabis medicines are legal in India.

 

What benefits does one reap from cannabis medicines? 

Cannabis has been an integral part of Ayurveda for centuries. Many rishis and sadhus have explained the benefits of using cannabis for medicinal purposes. If an adequate proportion of this medicine is used as per the guidelines of physicians, it can do wonders to treat various ailments that may even not be treated by recent branches of medical science. Medical cannabis products such as cannabis oil, cannabis-infused medicines and dietary supplements, hemp oil extract, etc. work tremendously well in alleviating serious ailments. It has been observed that many people were suffering from arthritis pain, spinal cord pain, anxiety and depression for years and have been taking allopathic medicines but got no relief in their deadly pain. But, with the use of cannabis-infused medicines, their lives changed. In a very short span of time, their ailments got recovered due to the use of cannabis and had no side-effects.

This is the magic of cannabis. If you too want to see an enhanced version of yourself and have been suffering from chronic diseases, you must switch to medical cannabis products. You will always be grateful to this medicine and to the researchers that develop this for you at a very low cost.

HempCann Solutions is the leading research and manufacturing organization of cannabis medicines in India. It has treated numerous people suffering from chronic disease with the help of its indigenously developed cannabis medicines with an overwhelming rate of success.  

 

Don’t believe us? Below is a feedback from a happy customer

Best gift from nature

My father was diagnosed with Stage 4 Carcinoma and undergone jaw surgery followed by radiotherapy treatment, it was a very difficult time for him and suffered a great deal of pain, loss of appetite, depression and severe post radiation effects. He was prescribed some western pain killers which has numerous side effects and harms other body parts and it didn’t work out.
But one of my friends advised me about Vedi herbals, an enterprise for Herbal healthcare and body care products based in India. And after a thorough research, I consulted Dr. S. Tahir who is a chief Medical Consultant and a member of society of cannabis clinicians, he analyzed my father’s report and provided me prescription for cannabis oil.
It has been 8 weeks since my father used Cannabis oil and he is much better now, he feels no more pain, post radiation effects are reduced, improvement in sleep and has a good appetite.
I would like to thank Dr. S. Tahir, who studied medical marijuana and started working to help cancer patients for treating serious side effects caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. Many thanks to Vedi herbals for supporting medical cannabis with a commitment to provide quality product defined by nature at an affordable price.
