Tripura CM Biplab Deb tells assembly state will take experts' opinion on legalising ganja cultivation
On Monday 22 March 2021, then Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb told the Tripura Legislative Assembly the state government would seek experts' opinion on the possibility of legalising cannabis cultivation in Tripura, in response to a proposal by BJP MLA Diba Chandra Hrangkhawl that ganja cultivation be given legal recognition to boost the rural economy. Hrangkhawl asked in the assembly that if country-made liquor could be recognised, ganja could similarly be legalised. CM Deb said in response, "It is true that ganja cultivation brings good income," and undertook to consult experts on the proposal. The exchange contradicted the state government's then-active 'Nesha Mukt Tripura' (Drug-Free Tripura) sloganeering, under which Tripura Police was conducting cannabis-cultivation crackdowns in the state.
