HYDERABAD: While cops crack down on ganja peddlers and muzzle conduits to stop sale of contraband in city, addicts get their high from click of a mouse.
Clues on where to score the best ganja in the city or locations where police heat is less, is no longer passed by word of mouth, it's bought on the Internet. On a webportal, minute details for ease of buying cannabis is uploaded for anyone to read.
Though officials from police department claim that use, sale or purchase of weed is illegal, visitors on the website differ and claim the contraband is just a bribe away .
For the city's “weed profile“, it says “smoking-tolerance level“ in the city is high.
Even worse are comments on the website, where ganja users claim police were not perturbed as long as they get bribe.
However, Hyderabad police's anti-narcotics cell sleuths claim messages on the website only aim at showing police in bad light. “We have been acting on tip-offs every time we get leads.We will seize the banned substance,“ said Chanda Basha, an officer with the cell.
In a comment on the portal, one user, Divij, stated that for those who know where to look, it's an open secret that fruit juice vendors, ice-cream carts and pan shops are places to hit for a high, with weed being sold publicly in match-boxes.

In its description for ganjasale points, the website says: “Dhoolpet (or Dhulpet) is the main area for cannabis. It's a mostly slum area, with many dealers in alleys. Police are after your wallet. Ask any local for where to find some ganja (or charas for hash), give them some cash, and they'll show you the way . Other areas to score are Dilsukhnagar, Tolichowki and near YMCA at Secunderabad.“
Another user said: “Sitafalmandi is a good place to score ganja, very safe and affordable (sic).“ City police's cybercrime department officials feigned ignorance about the website. “We will bring it down soon,“ said assistant commissioner of police (ACP), cyber crime, Hyderabad police, KCS Raghu Vir.
