Sadhus Inspire 'Prince of Pot'

Sadhus can offer inspiration for quiet a lot of things, but this one kicked Marc Emery to start a Ganja Party, a Bhang Magazine and a Charas-TV!

In 1992, Marc Emery was just another visitor to India. When he visited Pushkar in Rajasthan, he says he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Sadhus were smoking ganja openly. No policemen interrupted them. In Varanasi, sadhus used ganja and bhang. In Jaisalmer, I found a shop which sold charas. Damn it. Back in North America we were spending million of dollars to stop drug trade, and here in India nobody stopped these sadhus. There was no prohibition. I found India very inspirational,'' he told this correspondent some time ago.
