Rather than cops raiding these celebs parties I would want them to help real victims of rape, murder, dowry, domestic violence n various other injustices.

Victims r dying without getting justice n here everyone is interested which celeb kid is consuming which drug. Let them ruin their life n health why should we care.

Addiction is even more dangerous. I heard stories how a son almost killed his father for not giving him money to buy drugs. And later died due to overdose. These people are also victims who need help...

But just one question..suppose it's decriminalized..like illegal to sell but not unlawful to consume, how does that work? Genuinely trying to understand.

Isn't it possible that sellers would sell it in small proportions and easily declare its for self consumption if caught?

The law determines what is "consumer-sized" vs what is "commercial."

A similar law exists for prescription drugs. Only a certain dosage can be purchased and possessed at a time. If buying prescriptions abroad you can only get in your dosage for a few months. Anything over is illegal.

The city where I live has decriminalized marijuana. If you get caught with a small amount, it is seized and you're let go. If it is more than a certain amount, you get a ticket and then let go. Only if you are caught with an amount that is considered commercial do they start criminal proceedings.

If decriminalized people may just consume openly and not even realize they need help with their addiction..that's another thing..same as alcohol and can be taken care of. But how many would actually come out n admit addiction? How is the situation in US where it's legal

Very few addicts ask for help. Help is usually sought by friends and family. But if drug consumption is illegal then family and friends try to deal with it at home because they don't want a loved one to face criminal charges. People die of overdose because people are afraid to even call a doctor when someone has a bad reaction due to fear of arrest.

When it is decriminalized family and friends are more likely to seek professional help. Even though most drugs are still illegal, HIPPAA law makes it easier for people to call 911 or check someone into detox because doctors are legally bound to keep the treatment information confidential. There are also confidential helplines and organizations like Narcotics Anonymous.

Marijuana for recreation is legal in Washington, California, Oregon, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and Colorado. These states have not seen any increase in crime associated with marijuana use. No one is consuming marijuana openly. Families still visit these states for vacation and have a safe fun time without worrying about so-called drug users. Alcohol still continues to be the number one cause of driving incidents.

Although most US experiments for safe usage spaces for hard drugs have failed. There needs to be more analysis why. But for legalization/decriminalization of a larger swath of drugs - you can look to Netherlands and Portugal.

Do people zone out or act like zombies after consuming those things in parties?

Not all drugs have the exact same effect. They don't all make you zombies. There are different categories - stimulants, depressants, pain killers, and hallucinogens.

Looks like arresting star kids for taking drugs is the only thing Mumbai police is good at

Don't the people shouting ABCDs live in the States? Because how they managed to live in India and not see how common weed consumption is in colleges and corporate culture is beyond me. 😆

If someone lived under a rock in India with family members who kept a strict watch over them with curfews, no boys, books as their only friends, etc., and got shipped off to the US with their NRI husband, without so much as an interaction beyond their close knit community or seeing anything past their nose, can they really even claim to "know" India and Indian dynamics?

Sure, they have the right to vote but so does a troll languishing in a basement who hasn't seen sunlight for years as long as they have been languishing in Indian soil. I find it hard to take opinions seriously when they claim to have never even "heard" of marijuana or drugs their entire life, especially when there are so many people in the upper echelons of the same society who've been partaking in the party culture and drugs for ages.

I'm not an Indian but I do come from the Indian subcontinent where the culture isn't any different from the one in India and spent x years of my childhood there, so all these personal attacks at me over being an "ABCD" just because I don't kick up a fuss over these celebs smoking pot and trying to discredit my opinion for that reason alone was a pathetic attempt at steamrolling the other side.

Yet you don't live in India and don't get affected by what happens there, same as the ABCDs you deride.

And how the heck do you know what ABCDs know?😆 Their opinion as as valid as yours.

I used they because I don't want to point out one person. Tried to be courteous. My mistake.

Courtesy went out the window a while back when they were being all "toofani" and whatnot -- don't know what you're holding up your end for.

If by someone you are talking about me then I am well educated, My parents are the most forward thinking people that I know. Absolute gems — Says my Bro’s wife.
I came here to study masters. And funny thing but my husband came on spouse visa (I don’t know how that’s an insult but ok.)

I know India and Indian dynamics much more than you can begun to understand.

Rest — continue….
