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” is obtained from the flowering/fruiting tops of the cannabis plant (high-THC portion), not from roots or stems. Hence A is incorrect.

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

Step 3 — Statement C: True (vernacular usage).
In Indian vernacular/older texts, “ganja” is also referred to as ganjah/ganjha, and you’ll see composite phrasing like “ganjha-bhang(a)” in colloquial references to cannabis preparations. Exams often treat this as an acceptable synonym reference; thus C is taken as true. 

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

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