Bibliography of published scientific and grey literature related to cannabis policy in India

This dataset contains bibliography of published scientific and grey literature of relevance to study cannabis-related public policy in India over time. It has a total of 128 documents published over 1859-2020 period providing commentary about cannabis-related policy/issues historically till the early part of 21^stcentury in India.This bibliography was produced as part of a scoping review to map alcohol-related public policies in India since its industrial scale production in India. Documents were sourced through systematic searches using keywords related to cannabis and policy in the two major social science databases: the EBSCO Host, and JSTOR. This scoping review was part of a broader research initiative titled, DRITHI (Developing Research and Action Capacities to Counter Harm Industries) - a historical comparative public policy study across the four psychoactive substances (tobacco, alcohol, cannabis and opium).The search for literature was limited to time period of 1600-2024 and to English language. The search for EBSCO Host: [cannabis OR marijuana OR hemp OR tetrahydrocannabinol OR cannabidiol OR hashish OR ganja OR charas OR bhang]<i> </i>AND [policy OR law OR statute* OR legislation OR regulation OR notification OR control OR prohibit* OR excise OR revenue OR tax OR restrict* OR licens*] AND [India]. The search for JSTOR: [ti:cannabis OR marijuana OR hemp OR tetrahydrocannabinol OR cannabidiol OR hashish OR ganja OR charas OR bhang] AND [policy OR law OR regulation OR control OR prohibit OR license OR tax OR revenue] AND [India]. ANG and SS independently reviewed titles and abstracts of all sourced documents for their inclusion/exclusion in the review. They developed consensus on inclusion/exclusion decision and the documents, where consensus could not be achieved, were referred to UB for the final decision.Our sole intention of publishing this bibliography is that it may be of help to other researchers/actors interested in cannabis related policy/issues in India.

本数据集收录了与印度长期大麻相关公共政策研究相关的已发表科学文献与灰色文献题录。本数据集共收录1859年至2020年间发表的128篇文献，可为印度大麻相关政策/议题的历史研究提供评述，时间跨度覆盖至21世纪初期。本题录作为一项范围综述的成果编制而成，该综述旨在绘制印度自工业规模化生产以来的酒精相关公共政策图景。文献通过系统性检索获取，检索依托两大主流社会科学数据库EBSCO Host与JSTOR，检索主题围绕大麻与公共政策展开。本次范围综述属于一项名为DRITHI（对抗有害产业研究与行动能力建设，Developing Research and Action Capacities to Counter Harm Industries）的综合性研究计划的一部分，该计划针对烟草、酒精、大麻（cannabis）与鸦片四类精神活性物质开展历史比较公共政策研究。本次文献检索的时间范围限定为1600年至2024年，且仅收录英文文献。针对EBSCO Host数据库的检索式为：[cannabis OR marijuana OR hemp OR 四氢大麻酚（tetrahydrocannabinol） OR 大麻二酚（cannabidiol） OR hashish OR ganja OR charas OR bhang] AND [policy OR law OR 法规（statute*） OR legislation OR regulation OR notification OR control OR prohibit* OR excise OR revenue OR tax OR restrict* OR licens*] AND [India]。针对JSTOR数据库的检索式为：[ti:cannabis OR marijuana OR hemp OR tetrahydrocannabinol OR cannabidiol OR hashish OR ganja OR charas OR bhang] AND [policy OR law OR regulation OR control OR prohibit OR license OR tax OR revenue] AND [India]。ANG与SS两名研究者独立对所有检索到的文献的标题与摘要进行纳入/排除评审，二者就文献的纳入/排除判定达成共识；若无法达成一致，则将相关文献提交UB作出最终裁定。本次发布本题录的唯一目的，是为所有关注印度大麻相关政策/议题的研究者及相关从业者提供参考。
