Section 18 in Rules under the United Provinces Excise Act, 1910
18. Description of the hemp plant.
- The hemp plant which grows wild in the sub-mountainous districts of Uttar Pradesh is a tall erect herb reaching, when wild, a height of 8 to 11 feet. The wild plant does not, as a rule, branch out except within a short distance of the top. The plants grow in clusters. For Ganja the individual plants are carefully cultivated distant from each other thereby developing a branching habit and a conical shape somewhat resembling a small cypress.
