“Cannabis” has been defined in section 2(iii) of The Narcotic Drugs And Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 as: –

2. (iii)”cannabis (hemp)” means—

(a)charas, that is, the separated resin, in whatever form, whether crude or purified, obtained from the cannabis plant and also includes concentrated preparation and resin known as hashish oil or liquid hashish;

(b)ganja, that is, the flowering or fruiting tops of the cannabis plant (excluding the seeds and leaves when not accompanied by the tops), by whatever name they may be known or designated; and

(c)any mixture, with or without any neutral material, of any of the above forms of cannabis or any drink prepared therefrom;

Breaking Down the Legalities

Alright, here’s the scoop: The definition above clearly defines which parts of the Cannabis plant are considered narcotic –

🚫 The flowering or fruiting tops of the cannabis plant? Big NO NO. ❌
🟢 The seeds and leaves? They’re non-narcotic and don’t fall under the NDPS Act.✅

This means Ayurvedic medicines containing Vijaya seeds and/or leaves aren’t classified as narcotic drugs under the NDPS Act. So, you’re in the clear!
