The scale color coding should have been reversed. More green more cannabis usage 😂


iClipsse

Did people voluntarily come up and admit cannabis usage lol....these are rookie numbers...actual percentage would be higher


Namkeen_Rasgulla

Exactly! No one came to me for the survey!


jaabaanz_parinda

Yeah came to say same. Its total BS.


MaskedManiac92

Another reason to love Sikkim!


Khadmutra

No wonder northeasterns are ‘happy’ Most of the time.

This is a useless map of cannabis use.. if you see the source, "drug dependence treatment centre", AIIMS, it's clear that it's a medical survey rather than a sociological sampling. I'm from Assam and if it's really 0.5 percent of Assamese who use cannabis then I think I know them all!!


Thisconnected

Frrr. It's so cheap n commonplace here that when friends party, weed is one thing that no one counts in splitting the budget


tb9551

Expected those Himachal numbers to be a tad higher lmao


unintelligible-me

Punjab as well.


thefO_okupkiD

in punjab they don’t use ganja charas!


unintelligible-me

Then what do they get high on?


thefO_okupkiD

hard drugs. ganja and charas are more like entery level


_rth_

Legalize it!!!


standtomyright

Sikkim me kuch jyaada hi use hai


Manav_Khanna17

I thought Himachal Pradesh would be higher. ( no pun intended)


lace4545

Is there a pun in here that I'm missing?


expertmercury333

High(as in getting high after smoking)er


lace4545

But it's almost thrice the national avg already.


GraciousPeacock

I think it’s clear you just don’t know how high you can get!


rkvgtm

tribes used weed since generation for medicinal recreation as it connects them to the nature they belong

_replicant_02

Sikkim be wildin'


Delet_Angery

I guess now we know why we Indians are offended at everything


rg1283

Destigmatize and decriminalize this shit already. Let's stop the taboo around marijuana


beard__hunter

Those are absymal number for MH. We need to pump up those numbers.


_rth_

This conveniently doesn’t include Bhaang


backpackerindia

Weed is semi legal in Odisha. And you usage by individuals is never criminalized.


navigator_janitor

Data is incorrect. How is odisha using more than goa?


_replicant_02

It is not. Odisha is quite famous for what grows there and Goa is more into harder stuff. Speaking from personal experience


scopenhour

How is it incorrect just because your hunch. People in Odisha have been using weed for a long time especially in rural areas


zaplinaki

Weed is legal in Odisha. Fyi.


DecadedD13

I'd assume it's because Goa weed consumption is mostly tourists that probably won't be covered under this.


165cm_man

Have you ever been to odisha?

timeidisappear

nahhh, as a south indian, this is a rare UP w


beyondocean

UP smoking more pot than Goa. What?


coalminexplorer

It's legal in UP. There are licensed shops who sell it in the form of Bhang.


[deleted]

Lets move to Sikkim


lace4545

More like magnitude of 'rehabilitated' cannabis users in Ind.


IDGAF_summoner

Yeaahh...........sure.......


XpRienzo

Ghats of my hometown can often tell a different story.


BishSlapDiplomacy

From where do these people get these stats lol? They can’t track every Indian in India because a lot of them live without any form of ID but for some reason they can track weed consumption across Indian lol 😂 (please laugh I’m really high)


naanmahanalla

How do they even measure this, it is not like they sell it in recreational store.


YuYuD

These are rookie numbers..!


coalminexplorer

UP has legal and licensed shops to sell bhang .


fullmetalpower

why can't these these tech companies move to himachal


thefO_okupkiD

this doesn’t look accurate . source: me!


karmawinsjustwait

Data is just wrong. Goa & Punjab?
