Blaming the authorities for “selectively highlighting the arrest of an individual” to show that they are “doing their jobs instead of actually doing it,” he added, “I’m against the consumption of drugs, but until the rot in the justice system has been cleaned up things won’t improve.”

producers, dealers and not just the users who may get addicted to a substance which can affect their lives negatively and has an impact on so many others indirectly. I hope that my friend Siddhant comes out of this stronger and wiser.
