Regulatory Overview of Vijaya/Cannabis Leaf Extract in India

Before we swim to the depth of laws surrounding Cannabis-based medicines, please note that all Ayurvedic medicines manufactured by Xaliven- are licensed under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 under the AYUSH laws and guidelines. Our products are manufactured under License No. MP25D/20/831 in Madhya Pradesh under the state AYUSH department.

Cannabis, also known as Vijaya, has a long and well-documented history within Indian culture and traditional medicine. For centuries, this plant has been utilized for a variety of therapeutic purposes, including the alleviation of pain and spasms, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, digestive issues, and the promotion of vitality. Evidence supporting these applications can be found in prominent Ayurvedic texts such as Bhavprakash Nighantu, Nighantu Adarsh, and Shodhal Nighantu.

However, the international perception of Cannabis shifted significantly in the 19th century, leading to its classification as a narcotic drug. This reclassification resulted in the strict regulation of Cannabis-based medicines across the globe. In India, the initial regulatory framework for medicinal Cannabis was established through the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1930. Currently, Cannabis leaf-derived medicines fall under the purview of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 (DCA).

So what is legal and what are not?

“Cannabis” has been defined in section 2(iii) of NDPS Act, 1985 as: –

(a) ganja, that is, the flowering or fruiting tops of the cannabis plant (excluding the seeds and leaves when not accompanied by the tops), by whatever name they may be known or designated;

(b) charas, that is, the separated resin, in whatever form, whether crude or purified, obtained from the cannabis plant and also includes concentrated preparation and resin known as hashish oil or liquid hashish; and 

(c) any mixture, with or without any neutral material, of any of the above forms of cannabis or any drink, prepared therefrom;

 

Reading the above definition elucidates the narcotic parts of the Cannabis plant. Implying seeds and leaves (when not accompanied by the fruiting tops) are non-narcotic and fall outside the purview of the act. Xaliven, in line with this requirement, procures all products using the Vijaya seeds and/or the leaves (popularly known as ‘Bhang’) as ingredients. Therefore, Ayurvedic medicines that contain Bhang and/or Vijaya seeds as an ingredient, are not regulated as narcotic drugs under NDPS Act.

 

While we understand the social stigma attached to the core ingredient of our product, we would like to clarify that our products are for therapeutic, medical and nutritional purposes only.

Note: Ayurvedic medicines for oral consumption made from ‘Vijaya’ (Cannabis leaves) should always be taken under medical supervision only against a valid prescription issued by a registered medical practitioner.

 

Xaliven does not sell or distribute any products that are in violation of the India’s NDPS Act 1985.
