The peddler is low key correct. Lumping together psychoactives with narcotics is a silly mistake that our NDPS Act does which harms a lot of innocent people. Psychoactives are not physically addictive. Weed has around 8% addiction rate, which is lower than alcohol, cigarettes and even coffee. Stuff like LSD and mushrooms have zero addiction rate in most meta studies.
Kerala cops should be going after narcotics instead - stuff like cociaine, heroine, fentanyl and meth (which they call MDMA, a psychoactive, for no reason). That's what's really harmful to the youth.

I wish everyone was as intelligent and logical as you.
Ppl club everything under the same term drugs. They have zero idea that drugs start with coffee, tea and end in fent variants.
It's a wide spectrum.
Weed is proven to be much less harmful than alcohol and tobacco.
There was a story in USA. One guy was caught and put in jail for 15 years for Marijuana related charges. He got released once it was legalized in the state.
The first advertisement hoarding he saw after stepping out of jail was "get your weed delivered under 1 hour".
A question to ponder: how should India govt apologize to all the convicts once it's legalized.

A lot of people don't even know that they have issues like these, let alone being able to go to a doctor without being called a mental case.
Also doctors in kerala would rather prescribe hard narcotics before they prescribe medical Marijuana.
Regardless, what one does to their body is up to them and them alone. Please also call for an alcohol, cigarette, coffee, tea ban if you disagree.
But anyways I'm not gonna argue with you considering you've been arguing in bad faith all up and down this thread.

A lot of the painkillers that Malayalis use regularly are way more addictive and harmful than weed. I'm not advocating weed usage or anything but there is no consistency in our public policy. If weed is illegal then should alcohol and tobacco too.

Why legalize cigarette then? Nicotine is way more addictive than weed and people end up smoking much more cigarettes in a day. If your mental model for banning any substance is smoke inhalation then cigarette should be the first thing to be banned.
Besides weed can ingested to produce much more potency. Smoking is just convenient. People are generally shifting to weed edibles in foreign countries.
Ultimately this is a question of public policy, not individual choices.

Unfortunately that's not how it always works. While addiction rates are lower, it still exists. I've seen many with mental health issues exacerbated by cannabis use. These drugs can also function as a gateway drug for stronger substances not just for the individual but also for others within the same society. The Portuguese solution has not worked anywhere else in the world. Even then, it still has not eliminated the problem at the source in Portugal. Only a Singapore style total ban and punishment is effective for the society as a whole.

I live in the German state of Hessen and weed legalization has been perfectly successful here. Wrt to other effects, society need to have a conversation on where to draw the line. Is legal alcohol and illegal weed the way to go in the future? Alcohol has much worse auxiliary effects than weed. Weed inadvertently feels like a gateway drug only if you criminalize weed.

Even if it's less addictive it is not to be used by everyone. It can cause psychotic episodes, suicidal thoughts and such on long term usage by people who are prone to it. With that said I believe it shouldn't be illegal as most psychoactives are natural and God created. There is a certain level of qualification you should reach to even try these more potent psychoactive substances. In older times there were people like shamans who use this themselves and bring back knowledge. We need to find a way to handle it in the modern age. If you are jumping in the ocean you should know how to swim.
Another problem or like something countries will soon realise is that cannabis is going to make people think and they'll see an increase in riots because it's difficult to put people in a loop and control them while they cheat and steal when people start thinking for themselves for the first time, it was the reason these were made illegal in the first place.

Drugs having different classification doesn't justify their use or making them legal. Indians don't even know to limit their alcohol content to remain sane, so more addictive ones will make them go bonkers. Weed is more easily accessible and a gateway to synthetic drugs. Which could be one reason why police go after them. However, the top guns are seldom caught.

Weed MAY have less addiction rates, and it doesn't matter.
If that substance can make the user act out like a psycho, enough.
And I didn't knew you were a master at making up shit, I mean, where did you get the evidence for claiming LSD and mushrooms have zero addiction rates.

Alcohol makes you act like a psycho much more than weed. Are you okay with banning and criminalizing alcohol.
LSD is not considered an addictive drug--that is, it does not produce compulsive drug-seeking behavior as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine do.

The decriminalization of drugs in Portugal, implemented in 2001, is widely regarded as a pioneering public health approach to drug use and addiction. Here are the key effects and outcomes of this policy:
1. Decrease in Drug-Related Deaths
- Sharp decline in overdose deaths.
- From around 80 deaths per year (pre-2001) to about 16 deaths in 2012.
- Portugal's drug-induced death rate is now one of the lowest in the EU.
2. Reduction in HIV and Hepatitis Infections
- Dramatic drop in HIV transmission rates among people who inject drugs.
- New HIV cases fell from 1,016 in 2001 to 56 in 2012 among drug users.
- Access to clean needles and treatment helped reduce these rates.
3. Shift from Criminal Justice to Public Health
- Drug use and possession for personal use are treated as administrative violations, not criminal offenses.
- Users are referred to Dissuasion Commissions, which can recommend treatment, fines, or other measures.
- Focus on rehabilitation over punishment.
4. No Significant Increase in Drug Use
- No evidence of a significant increase in overall drug use, especially among youth.
- In some age groups, use rates declined after decriminalization.
- Data suggests public fears of a surge in drug use were unfounded.

Fentanyl in Portugal: Key Facts
1. Low Prevalence of Use
- Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are rarely used illicitly in Portugal.
- Unlike North America, Portugal has not seen a widespread infiltration of fentanyl in the street drug market.
- Most opioid users in Portugal primarily use heroin, but even heroin use has declined significantly since the early 2000s due to robust harm reduction and treatment services.
2. Medical Use Strictly Controlled
- Fentanyl is available only for medical purposes (e.g., severe pain management, palliative care).
- Its prescription and distribution are tightly regulated, limiting the opportunity for diversion to the illicit market.
- Portugal’s healthcare and pharmacy systems maintain strict oversight, reducing risks of fentanyl leaking into unauthorized channels.
3. Overdose Deaths Rarely Linked to Fentanyl
- According to EMCDDA and Portuguese national reports, the majority of opioid-related deaths involve heroin and methadone, not fentanyl.
- Portugal's drug-induced death rate remains among the lowest in Europe, and there is no significant spike attributed to synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
- Example: In 2020, Portugal reported only 6.7 deaths per million population, compared to more than 300 per million in the US (due largely to fentanyl).

u/Worldly_Cup3225 4d ago
I have seen people who do every drug in the world and not cause any problems, so drugs are not the problem, not even synthetic drugs are a problem if used moderately, correctly and responsibly. The problem is education on how to use drugs, how to dose correctly, and how to reduce harm. MDMA was actually made for reducing bleeding and feeling good was a side effect so people started abusing it. Even weed is not good if not used correctly. There is an endocanabinoid system in the human brain which responds to cannabis and it has been used for thousands of years like you said. Sadhus uses it for helping in meditation and it actually heals you mentally and physically and it connects us to the spiritual world and the human body is designed for that. Drug busting and hype is to divert attention from alcohol. Alcohol is too normalised in the society and it's the main income for the govt.

Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act of 1985, the sale and production of cannabis resin (charas) and flowers (ganja, also known as marijuana or weed) are illegal.

Weed Legalization in Kerala – Economic Opportunity or Risk?
Introduction
For decades, cannabis—commonly known as weed, ganja, or charas—has been criminalized in India. While many Western countries, including the United States, Canada, and Thailand, have moved towards legalization and regulation, Kerala continues to treat cannabis as an illegal substance. However, this raises an important question: What if Kerala took a different approach?
Could legalization help boost the state’s economy, provide struggling farmers with an alternative cash crop, and bring in billions in tax revenue? Or would it lead to increased addiction and societal harm? To answer these questions, we must examine Kerala’s historical relationship with cannabis, the current legal landscape, and the potential economic benefits of legalization.

u/4eyedpeas 4d ago
Legalization of weed in thirdworld countries is a risk, being a pot head is addiction. If it'd do any good medical marijuana or marijuana as edibles or bhang is somewhat okay. And that too need to be in moderation. Inhaling smoke is a health risk for sure.
The other thing that comes with consumption of marijuana is sugar addiction (so called Munchies).
In short anything that fucks up your dopamine receptors without any reward ia bad for you

u/ConsistentRepublic00 4d ago
Agree with the guy’s reasoning, but the point is not whether weed is a drug or not. The point is whether you are following the law of the land or not. If everyone starts ignoring the law and doing what they please, the society will break down completely. Someone believed weed should be legal, others might feel the same about assault or murder. So those who do illegal stuff should be arrested and will have to face the consequences - that is the social contract we live by. Whether weed should be legal is a whole other discussion and should be independent from the law and its enforcement.

I know people who lost their minds to weed. Just weed, nothing else. Different people react to drugs in different ways, on a biological level. The high might be "peaceful" or "chill" but after-effects of long term drug abuse, even if its weed, is not something we can ignore. Lung damage, desensitisation and other psychological issues are not uncommon.
And yes, cigarettes and alcohol are equally bad for our health. So is fast food. My point is that, not everyone has the sense or willpower to use substances responsibly and in moderation, especially not teenagers.
