Ganja and bhang are imported into Tonk and Aligarh from Jeypur and into the other
parganas from important neighbouring villages, whilst charas comes from Kabul. The
extent of trade represents the average annual consumption. In Pirawa and Nimbahera the
drugs are not taxed, hence the extent of trade in them has not been given.
