Police in Hyderabad have uncovered a new trend in cannabis consumption: ganja milkshakes. This revelation follows the recent arrest of a man and his two sons who were caught selling ganja chocolates and ganja powder at their store in Jagathgirigutta.
The main suspect, Manoj Kumar Agarwal, along with his sons Murari Kumar Agarwal and Nitish Kumar Agarwal, hailing from West Bengal, were accused of distributing ganja in Hyderabad. Their illegal activities were reportedly influenced by a relative who sold ganja-infused chocolates in West Bengal.
During a raid on Jayasri Traders on April 15, authorities seized 4 kg of ganja powder and 160 packets of ganja chocolates. The trio’s motive appeared to be solely profit-driven, as the substances they sold offered minimal psychoactive effects.
Contrary to popular belief, ganja milkshake powder, known as ‘choora,’ lacks the primary psychoactive constituent of ganja, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This is because most of the THC is concentrated at the top of the cannabis plant, while the powder derived from the lower parts lacks potency.
In their pursuit of profit, the accused collaborated with a manufacturer in Indore to use low-THC choora in making milkshake powder.
Law enforcement, with assistance from the Telangana State Anti-Narcotics Bureau (TS-NAB), is actively investigating the matter. #GanjaMilkshake
