Ten years after Mauritius legalised cannabis, the governor forwarded to the Colonial Office a petition from the Board of Commissioners in Lunacy asking that the importation of gandia be prohibited, on the strength of a rise in asylum admissions attributed to it. The asylum's own superintendent, Dr Monty, disagreed: Indian admissions had fallen since repeal, and the increase was due to drink and misery.[1]
