Question

Which of the following statements are true?
A. Ganja is prepared from dried root and stem
B. Majoon is prepared by combining ganja with opium
C. Ganja is also known as ganjhabhanga
D. Hashish is a viscous oil obtained from Cannabis Sativa

• A. B and D only
• B. B and C only
• C. A and D only
• D. C and D only

Hint:

Remember the main parts of the cannabis plant used for drugs:

\textbf{Ganja:} Dried flowering tops (buds).
\textbf{Hashish/Charas:} The collected resin.
\textbf{Bhang:} Mature leaves and seeds.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1 — Statement A: False.
“Ganja” comes from the flowering/fruiting tops of the cannabis plant (high-THC part), not roots or stems. Therefore, A is incorrect.

Step 2 — Statement B: False (in standard forensic usage).
“Majoon/Majun” is a traditional cannabis-based confection (edible) made with cannabis (bhang/ganja/charas) plus ghee, sugar, spices, nuts, etc. Recipes sometimes include other drugs, but it is not correctly defined as “ganja + opium”. So B is not a generally accepted definition in an exam.

Step 3 — Statement C: True (vernacular usage).
In Indian vernacular/older texts, “ganja” is also called ganjah/ganjha, and you’ll see phrases like “ganjha-bhang(a)” in common references to cannabis preparations. Exams often accept this as a synonym; thus C is true. 

Step 4 — Statement D: True (exam sense).
Cannabis resin products include hashish (charas) (solid/resin) and hashish oil (a viscous oil extract). Exams often use “hashish” when they mean the oil form, used illicitly as a potent, viscous concentrate. Interpreted this way, D is true in exam keys. 

Therefore:
The true statements are \( \boxed{C \text{ and } D \text{ only}} \).
