When and how may hemp be grown, and who can do it?
The Narcotictus Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 deals with cases of drug offenses. The law restricts the use of narcotics and psychotropic chemicals. The NDPS Act, or the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Act, 1985, is the law that governs these compounds or drugs. The Drugs and Drugs Act of 1985 is another name for this law. Manufacturing, producing, developing, owning, buying, storing, transporting, consuming, or owning narcotic narcotics is illegal under this law, which was approved by Parliament in 1985. Take a look at section 20 of the NDPS Act for further information.
To begin with, this section states that any violation of its regulations would result in a penalty. The cultivation of cannabis, i.e. the cannabis plant, is prohibited under this section.
Production, trading, transportation, import-export, and possession, i.e. keeping the plant's product, ganja, is illegal. There is a provision for severe imprisonment in this case, which can be imposed according to the quantity. If the quantity is less, the punishment is rigorous imprisonment for a period of six months or one year, with a fine of up to ten thousand rupees, or both. Excess amount carries a maximum imprisonment of 20 years in jail and a minimum fine of one lakh rupees.
Permission is granted for the production of cannabis plants to own property or to the lessee, according to a government order in Uttarakhand. To produce cannabis, everyone must submit an application to the DM with a character certificate, as well as information about the field description, area, and storage facilities.
For the license, a payment of one thousand rupees per acre must be paid.
Going from one district to another to harvest seeds also requires the consent of the DM. The crop can also be checked by DM. If there is a violation of the stated criteria during cultivation, the crop will be destroyed if it covers more than the fixed area.
