What are Ganja gummies? Ganja gummies, also known as cannabis-infused gummies, are edible sweets laced with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana. They are consumed like regular candy but produce intoxicating effects similar to smoking or ingesting cannabis. These edibles are often favored by users seeking a discreet and longer-lasting high. Although such products are legal in certain countries under regulated frameworks, their sale and possession remain illegal in India under the NDPS Act. The growing trend of infusing narcotics into everyday snacks like candies or chocolates is a concerning development for law enforcement agencies.
