Uday Chopra Tweets Asking to Legalise Marijuana in India and Mumbai Police Has the Best, Sassiest Response to It
Uday Chopra's tweet to legalise marijuana in India gets a major backlash from Mumbai Police.
Mumbai Police has the most savage and sassiest social media account and it is definitely worth following. Uday Chopra had tweeted recently asking the government to make marijuana legal in India since it's apparently a part of the culture. He tweeted saying, "I feel India should legalize marijuana. Firstly, It's part of our culture. Secondly, I think if legalized and taxed it can be a huge revenue source. Not to mention it will remove the criminal element associated with it. Plus and most importantly it has a lot of medical benefits!" After getting hilarious responses to his tweet, he also clarified that he doesn't use it but just thinks it's a wise move.
Mumbai Police responded to the tweet in the most savage way possible. They tweeted and said, "Sir,as citizen of India,you are privileged to express your view on a public platform. Be mindful,as of now, consumption, possession and transportation of marijuana, invites harsh punishment as per provisions of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act,1985. Spread the Word [sic]". We couldn't think of a better way for the Mumbai Police to have responded to Uday's tweet. This is also not the first time that the social media platform has given it back to celebrities on social media.
