Marijuana Laws
As recorded December 15, 2025 · not verified as current law. India law
Cannabis laws in Mussorie follow India’s national law. The rules here are set by the broader jurisdiction, and city-level differences are uncommon.
Under the law, recreational and medical cannabis are illegal. In practice, bhang preparations are often tolerated in certain religious contexts. Possession of other cannabis products can lead to penalties.
Quick facts
- Recreational: Illegal
- Medical: Not available
- Possession: Illegal (limited traditional exceptions)
- Buying/Selling: Illegal
- Tourists: Subject to enforcement risk
Practical guidance
Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
Law Enforcement
Some officers may target foreigners buying weed. The claim was “only 10%” got convicted and baksheesh would get you out of trouble. Neither claim was backed up.
Where to Buy Marijuana
I found no pot in Mussoorie itself. At Kempty Falls, seven or eight kilometers out, there was a sadhu selling hash.
Marijuana Prices
₹20 for a few grams. Seriously low quality, with little else on offer.
