Reply to comment by TheRedBow in TIL that India had to ban charas (cannabis concentrate) due to pressure from the US. by UltimateGamingTechie
No not for that, India and Nepal were a haven for the hippies during late 1900s, it was banned in Nepal in 1985 as well. Before that, a lot of young people from the US would just come and chill in Nepal and India. This was a big problem for the US because they were losing able bodied people who they could send to Vietnam and middle east to die. So they forced the countries to ban all types of grass. I have seen pictures of old shops in Freak Street Kathmandu with sign boards advertising marijuana. Guess how the street got its name.

Is this the same thing that happens when eating Monstera deliciosa as well?
