The Indian Hemp Drugs Commission, which had heard evidence in Burma, recommended that the absolute prohibition on cultivating ganja and on its use by Burmans stay. Indians in Burma should be able to buy the drug from licensed shops. The commissioners accepted the view of Burma officials that the Burmese had no taste for ganja and that prohibition worked; the proposal was a limited relaxation for Indian residents, not a repeal. The report was signed on 6 August 1894.[1]
