The Bombay Abkari Act Amendment (Act V of 1901) confined the cultivation of hemp to two tracts, in Satara and Ahmednagar districts. Their produce, and any drugs brought in from other provinces, had to be stored in government-controlled bonded warehouses. The chapter describes the rules as imposed from above, on the Bombay government's reading of the Hemp Drugs Commission.[1]
