UHi Guys,
I have been using Bhang Golis I order online from Uttar Pradesh since the past few months. Suddenly, 2 police officers from Narcotics Department came to my home saying that they have been monitoring my parcels and found it suspicious that so many of them are from UP in recent past. I came clean to them about everything knowing confidently that bhang golis are as legal as alcohol in Hyderabad.
But they came back after 2 days, took me to the police station and filed an NDPS case against me Under Section 20(b)(II)(A) which deals with drugs. When I protested the Bhang’s legality, they said “bhang goli is made from both leaves and flowers of the plant. We are charging you for the flower part.”
I confirmed with the distributor that the flower part thing is bogus.
The charge sheet is yet to be filed and I didn’t get any notice yet.
I am confident that bhang is not illegal in Hyderabad. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Is there anything I can do to get this case thrown in the garbage can before even going to court and possibly continue my habit.

YWhy haven’t you hired a lawyer yet? it’s been a month since this case is filed against you. What are you waiting for?
-
UMy father has approached a lawyer and he said he’ll collect all information the police has gathered so far. Damn bruh, how find you know the timeline of events?

DOk so they must have send it for testing. Have the filed the charge sheet?
Once you get the report of the testing, you can approach the high court to quash the case. Dont wait on any lawyer who says you can go for legal battle.

DI dont think its pure bhang. Bhang goli is the hard toffee kind of thing may have other ingredients
-
RBhang is not toffee, it’s a paste of marijuana leaves rolled up as ball to be easily dissolved in any sort of liquid for consumption but the marijuana used is heavily monitored by government,these leaves have very low thc content compared to the good marijuana which has a illegal market of its own.The legal toffee thing your thinking off is not legal in India, those have pure thc oil, used internationally for medical purposes like pain relief,mental health etc but not in India.

U48 is not high amount. In fact if you order from a certain famous bhang selling website, the minimum order quantity is 1 packet or box which costs 250-300 rupees and has 40 small sachets in it. It can be stored at room temp for a couple of months since it comes in powdered or hard goli form. People with tolerance can go though the box in 10 days.

UNAL. Only bhang goli with leaf is legal (or in gray area). so you need to consult a lawyer and get this case squashed because if it lands on your file, it will be very hard to explain this to future employers or immigration to any developed country.

UOne of the police officers said “In Telangana, even bhang goli is illegal due to Telangana Excise Act”. Can you please speak to it’s truthness? Although, they have falsely evoked NDPS Act.

search for bhang in this document.

Useems like bhang is considered intoxicating drug in this act in all forms (so goli as well). now this is beyond reddit knowledge. If you are here just to calm your anxiety, i understand. Otherwise, you need to talk to lawyer.

ALawyer here practising in Hyderabad. Hyderabad police have cracked down on these Bhang users in the city, and they have a tendency to file frivolous cases here. You need to lawyer up immediately and there is no time to lose. If you want any help, feel free to reach out.

AIdeally, it should not be. However, never ever trust cops when it comes to anything connected to marijuana / other soft drugs. They are brainless idiots who will try to make a case against people who consume any form of edibles.
Before the court, cops will try and make out a case that buds were used to make the bhang golis, and therefore the bhang goli seized from you is illegal.

WNAL . Maybe just bribe them and ask them to let you go with warning? Once a case filed, your career is ruined

SYou need to lawyer up asap. You may have to go to prison and pay a fine. If this is your first serious offence then chances are you may not be sent to prison but have to do compulsory community service. Or maybe like a 6-12 week jail term.
Your argument that NDPS makes bhang legal is not the complete truth.
Interstate sale and purchase is still illegal.
Drugs is a state subject you may have flouted state laws. Then there is the angle of excise which is a separate offence.
There are also limits regarding what is considered commercial quantity and an argument can be made in court that multiple shipments should be added to concluded the total weight. As far as I remember under IPC (not sure abiut BNS) the commercials quantity for charas and ganja was 2 grams.
-
UIf state law makes it illegal to purchase, they should have used the state law to make the case. It is gross incompetence and sadistic to unnecessarily invoke NDPS Act for a thing which comes in a packet like eclairs chocolate and is freely sold online.
-
SIt’s still drugs even if it is being sold in packets at panwaris.
Why leave such a massive paoer trail with online payments in the first place buddy
And even worse to tell the cops straight up about your drug use.-
UMaybe you aren’t familiar with the ways of the land i.e. India. Bhang is socially and culturally accepted.
-
-
UYou still haven’t explained the gross misuse of the NDPS Act which clearly exempts leaves of the hemp plant.
-
SI’m not the law nor am I the courts.
As a random stranger on the internet who has dealt with similar allegations I can give you my two cents. I dont mean to fight you nor are you obligated to pay heed to me.
Principally I agree with you in regards to not just bhang but also other socially and culturally accepted usage of substances.
But sadly the reality of the situation is that there are serious allegations against you by the cops. And you will have to fight the case in a very biased court of law. You either come from enough financial and social privilege that you bribe your way out of this or you will end up on the receiving end of punishments as per the law.

IThey want u gone in they are troubling a lot of people like this one more person I know is on similar trouble, u will have to bribe the officers lakhs, judges lakhs to get out then later they will harass u to pay up again put a bogus case that ur a drug dealer etc etc. They say that they know etc and will threaten and trouble u till the government changes in a few years. This congress government is kinda nuts and is blaming the previous government for drug problem ans stuff. There is also a lack of understanding among a police and lack of calarity in the law making it actually a grey area. Ppl taking aryuvedic CBD pills given by doctors are also in extreme trouble even if they really need it. In counseling session they lie about the effect of these drugs cause they don’t understand anything themselves, they claim that it’s makes u rape ppl and stuff just to make ppl afraid.
-
YNAL. It may be legal there, but they’ll hook you in the charge of transporting it. It’s illegal to send such stuff through courier / mail.

PDo you know bhaang is even illegal in UP and MP? It is culturally accepted and hence no one acts on it. By attaching reference of Lord Shiva consumption is considered legal. However, it is an illegal product. So, stop looking for solace and lawyer up.
