STIMULANTS AND NARCOTICS
That tobacco is used for chewing, smoking and snuffing has already been said. Tea-drinking has become quite common whether among the rich and the poor and cheap restaurants have come everywhere in the villages also. Coffee is also getting into vogue, particularly in towns. Various cold drinks have also become fashionable, not only in towns but also in the rural and hilly areas. Mahua liquor has been popular among the Gonds and Halbas for generations. Ganja addicts are not to be found in this district except among Sadhus and Bairagis.
