India's Central Provinces ban the sale of charas

The Central Provinces forbade the sale of charas in 1925. Smuggling rose so much after 1930 that on 1 January 1935 the province licensed sales again, opening shops at Nagpur and Jubbulpore with a possession limit of half a tola.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for India here.
