Bharatiya Janata Party

Agree

Yes, but only for medical use

The BJP has not taken a clear stance on the legalization of marijuana for medical use. However, India has a history of using cannabis for medicinal and religious purposes, and the country's Ayurvedic medicinal system includes cannabis as a treatment for various ailments. Some BJP members have shown support for medical marijuana, but the party as a whole has not taken a strong position on this issue.
