Sources
- Indian Hemp Drugs Commission, vol. I, ch. VIII, para. 429, p. 158, is cited from the page image, where the word reads gulkhand.
- A. H. Plunkett (vol. VII, Bombay witness no. 19, p. 30), the Berar memorandum (vol. III, p. 108) and J. M. Campbell's report on Bombay (vol. III, p. 95) are cited from their page images.
- The line defining gulkand as a conserve of rose petals and sugar rests on Plunkett's "a confection of roses and sugarcandy" and the Berar recipe; no modern source is cited for it.
Is it cannabis?
- Plain gulkand contains no cannabis. Plunkett's recipe adds ganja-infused ghee to ordinary gulkhand; the Berar recipe makes it with the essence of ganja; Campbell attributes its intoxicating qualities to bhang or garda.
- The page is titled by the conserve, as for a dish that is mostly not cannabis.
Title and spelling
- Gulkand is the spelling of the Berar memorandum and of Campbell; gulkhand (the commission's report and Plunkett) is a redirect.
Kind and plant part
- Sweet. Leaf and flower: bhang, garda and ganja.
- Still made: not known from the sources cited.
Not used
- A Dharwar witness (vol. VII, Bombay witness no. 31, p. 61) describes gulkand as a conserve of roses mixed with prepared ghee. It adds nothing to Plunkett's recipe and is not cited.
- Seranti is left unglossed because the Berar memorandum gives no gloss.
