| Abstract: | The evolving importance and positive virtues of hemp are being recognised in India and also due to cultural evolution of cannabis uses, human preferences, socio-economic and ecological benefits, Uttarakhand Government has took an initiative of reviewing the policy of industrial hemp by virtue of which the first ever license for cultivation of industrial hemp in India has been issued to the Indian Industrial Hemp Association (IIHA) in July 2018, but only for non-narcotic purposes such as medicines, textiles, paper, building materials, etc. Cannabis sativa or the bhang plant is a part of local culture of Uttarakhand because of its multiple uses among the local inhabitants since generations. But due to its ban in India by NDPS Act in 1985, people throughout the country are restricted from practising its cultivation. The main objective of Uttarakhand hemp policy 2016 is to facilitate providing license to the growers for cultivating hemp containing THC equal to or less than 0.3% for fiber and seed. The present paper includes ethnographic findings of fieldwork done in Uttarakhand to study the socio-cultural, ecological and economic aspects of hemp cultivation. However, there is still a really long way to go before the legalization of cannabis in India can or will be realized practically. The State Governments have to act boldly and recognize the value of the ecological and medicinal properties of this traditional plant to make a way for its legalization in India. |
