Share of current consumers of cannabis in India 2017-2018 by state

Published by A. Minhas, Jul 12, 2023
According to a survey on substance use in India between December 2017 and October 2018, the states with highest prevalence of cannabis use were Sikkim at 7.3 percent, followed by Nagaland at 4.7 percent and Odisha with 4.5 percent of users. Overall, only 1.2 percent of the population in the country was seen to be users of the drug and there is a higher prevalence of the use of bhang- a product made out of cannabis oil- compared to cannabis. Bhang can be legally bought from government operated shops in the country which might be one of the reasons for its higher use than pure cannabis.
