The article examines the historical and cultural role of cannabis in Indian traditions and how its perception is changing among contemporary youth. It argues that cannabis has deep roots in religious, medicinal, and social practices in India, but modern influences and legal restrictions are reshaping young people's views. The authors contend that this evolving perception reflects broader societal shifts, though traditional knowledge remains relevant. The piece is a review or commentary rather than an empirical study, synthesizing historical and cultural analysis to highlight the tension between heritage and modern attitudes.
