The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Bill, 1985 was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 23 August 1985. It was passed by both the Houses of Parliament and it was assented by the President on 16 September 1985. Under the NDPS Act, it is illegal for a person to produce/manufacture/cultivate, possess, sell, purchase, transport, store, and/or consume any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance.
@9K25FSHIndependent2mos2MO
No, make drug use (including alcohol and smoking) in any public place illegal but decriminalize drugs for private possession
@9CQ2PN6Indian National Congress10mos10MO
Should not ban any drugs but should regulates the system, banning is gonna results in aggressive sale and more mafias gonna occure and its regulation means ruls as we have for alchahole
@997GSCFIndependent1yr1Y
I think a mix of increase funding and also decriminalising drug use would be better.
@9884LCH1yr1Y
Those drugs which can be used for medical use, should available and govt. Should ensure that it is sold for the medical purpose only.
No but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation and less strict laws for uses of marijuana as it has medical benefits
@942P8MFIndependent2yrs2Y
yes, but health centres should exist to help people get rid of addictions
@93RHLMN2yrs2Y
No, but only allow drugs that are specifically prescribed.
@92QJ8LZBharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
yes, it should be civil offense if the use is in excess and heavy taxes should be levied
@929DK8MBharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
only for strictly medicinal purposes
@8Z47GKVIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, but tax heavily on those products.
@8W8TC3Z3yrs3Y
If we legalize drugs we can also control it For example- legal driving age , drinking age etc
@8VC2DZF3yrs3Y
no, trying to police chemical compounds and natural substances that occur in nature is a stupid endeavour there are millions of psychoactive compounds you can only ban so many of them best you can do is educate people on the health risks.
If the drug has any benefits
@8TBKWWVBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Yes, we also need to form a stable rehabilitation facilities and procedures.
In favour of decriminalising only Marijuana use.
@8S5FXJNBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Strictly ban recreational use, but allow medicinal use
@8RYCMZQBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Should be a collective democratic decision
@8RWH9323yrs3Y
Drugs is a menace. But the laws are misused too
Yes but not until there is robust infrastructure for rehabilitation and addiction prevention
@8PKG5KL3yrs3Y
No, but decriminalize drugs that offer medicinal benefits and make them more safe, like reducing THC levels in marijuana
@8KBSNSPBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Decriminalize, but regulate sale and consumption.
@9D33F3D9mos9MO
Drug use should be decriminalized. Not drug abuse. However, usage of drugs in general should be strongly discouraged and should be overseen by the authorities.Everyone should not have access to drugs.
@9CRC9HT10mos10MO
Yes, but only if state aquires such sufficient regulatory frameworks, enforcement and rehabilitation capacities. This is important to allow citizens, who choose to stay from drugs, their peace and normalcy.
Yes, but only after increasing funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation
@9CQDNXFBharatiya Janata10mos10MO
Decriminalise Only for medical usage.
Yes , so that we can pass the control of drugs to the government
@8QPVY3ZBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
No, but only government hospitals should regulate medicinal drugs.
Yes, and drug use should be regulated and recognised and substance abuse should be recognised as a public health emergency, not a crime.
@8QM3R533yrs3Y
Yes. We should decriminalise drug usage, tax and regulate it and provide rehabilitation to those that require it and release people who are in prison for drug related crimes
@8PSRSQ2Bharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Only for some like cannabis.
@8PRY98L3yrs3Y
personally speaking i am not in favour of drug use unless it's for medical reasons
@8CT9CYGBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Legalize weed and psychedelics, but no hard drugs.
