Abstract
Despite various attempts by the British authorities to regulate the use of hemp drugs in India, the matter had been left largely in the hands of provincial governments until the end of the 19th century. Laws and practices therefore varied widely from one region to another. In response to questions in the British Parliament, a Commission was set up in 1893 to examine the situation in Bengal, but on the initiative of the Governor General the scope of the inquiry was broadened to include the whole of British India.Keywords
