Vijaya (Cannabis Sativa Linn.): An Overview of the Indian Regulatory Landscape
Before we swim to the depth of laws surrounding Cannabis-based medicines, please note that all Ayurvedic medicines manufactured by GUSTAVO- are licensed under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 under the AYUSH laws and guidelines. Our products are manufactured under License No. in
Madhya Pradesh under the state AYUSH department.
Now, let us dive into the regulatory landscape around Cannabis a.k.a. Vijaya, in India. Vijaya has been an integral part of India’s culture and history. For centuries this plant was used for medical and nutritional purposes. Some treatments include pain & spasms, insomnia, suppression of nausea & vomiting, digestion, and vitality, amongst others. Therapeutic uses of Vijaya and its formulations are mentioned in popular Ayurvedic texts such as Bhavprakash Nighantu, Nighantu Adarsh, Shodhal Nighantu, etc. However, globally in the 19th century, Cannabis was classified as a narcotic drug. Medicines made out of Cannabis, came to be strictly regulated in countries all over the world. In India, Cannabis in medicines was first regulated by The Dangerous Drugs Act, 1930, and now Cannabis leaf derived medicines are regulated by The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 (DCA).
So what is allowed and what is not?
“Cannabis” has been defined in section 2(iii) of NDPS Act, 1985 as: –
(a) ganja, that is, the flowering or fruiting tops of the cannabis plant (excluding the seeds and leaves when not accompanied by the tops), by whatever name they may be known or designated;
(b) charas, that is, the separated resin, in whatever form, whether crude or purified, obtained from the cannabis plant and also includes concentrated preparation and resin known
as hashish oil or liquid hashish; and
(c) any mixture, with or without any neutral material, of any of the above forms of cannabis or any drink, prepared therefrom;
Reading the above definition elucidates the narcotic parts of the Cannabis plant. Implying seeds and leaves (when not accompanied by the fruiting tops) are non-narcotic and fall outside the purview of the act. GUSTAVO, in line with this requirement, manufactures all products using the Vijaya seeds and/or the leaves (popularly known as ‘Bhang’) as ingredients. Therefore, Ayurvedic medicines that contain Bhang and/or Vijaya seeds as an ingredient, are not regulated as narcotic drugs under NDPS Act.
While we understand the social stigma attached to the core ingredient of our product, we would like to clarify that our products are for therapeutic, medical and nutritional purposes only.
Note: Ayurvedic medicines for oral consumption made from ‘Bhang’ (Cannabis leaves) should always be taken under medical supervision only against a valid prescription issued by a registered medical practitioner.

For pain: CB1 receptors are located in the sensory nerve endings in your skin that detect pain. They are also located in the areas of your brain such as the amygdala that control how you feel pain and emotions. By activating CB1 receptors, THC causes a variety of changes in your nervous system, resulting in a decreased sensation of unbearable pain and reduced mood swings.
Anti emetic : effect of cannabinoids has been confirmed to be mediated by CB1 receptors and CB2 receptor antagonism has been shown to block the antiemetic action of 2 AG. which infers CB2 ensures anti-vomiting action as well. For anti-tumor growth: Experimental studies have shown that the activation of CB receptors by cannabinoids is antitumorigenic in nature in most cases. It is known to inhibit tumor cell proliferation, Induction of apoptosis in-vitro and blocks angiogenesis and tumor invasion/metastasis in vivo.

Description:
Vijaya Amrit is a CBD rich medicine used as a therapeutic agent to treat Psychiatric disorders like Insomnia, Depression and Stress. The formulation contains pure
extract of a multipurpose, powerful herb Vijaya (Medical Cannabis). It is also used as a painkiller due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
How It Works
For pain: A study demonstrated that CBD diminished serum levels of pro-inflammatory factors interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and increases levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 10 (IL-10). Studies have also shown that CBD helps to reduce chronic pain and anxious trepidations by affecting endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation, and interacting with neurotransmitters present in the body.
For anxiety and stress: CBD has robust anxiolytic effects without anxiogenic effects at higher doses. Human studies show high doses of oral CBD reduces anxiety in individuals. A review published in 2018 concluded that CBD has anti-stress effects, which may reduce depression related to stress. The body produces endocannabinoids, which are neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system. The decrease in GABA level is the reason for stress. CBD improves the level of GABA, by which it releases signals for sleep too. It also reduces the level of stress by maintaining the norepinephrine & serotonin levels in the brain which are directly related with anxiety & fear.

RECOMMENDED DOSAGE:
It is recommended that one starts low and slowly increases the dosage overtime.
1drop= 0.05ml or as directed by the physician
Mechanism of action of active ingredient:
Cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two vital and active components of medical cannabis (THC). THC, one of the active components in cannabis, activates the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
Injured tissues produce 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG), anandamide, and endocannabinoids, which are known to reduce sensitization and inflammation by activating cannabinoid (CB) receptors.
CBD and THC both help to alleviate pain at the injured site.
THCs have anti-inflammatory qualities because they activate CB2 receptors on immune cells, which reduces the body’s pain-inducing response to damage. CBD, on the other hand, decreases inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory mediators and switching pro-inflammatory macrophage repair cells to anti-inflammatory ones.
DOSAGE & GUIDELINES
It is recommended that one should start with minimal dose and slowly increase the dosage overtime, or as directed by your physician.
SUBLINGUAL ABSORPTION:
• Fill the tincture and Squeeze the tincture under the tongue,
make sure to keep a count on the drops consumed as per your recommended dosage.
• Hold the drops under the tongue for 60 to 90 seconds.

Holding the oil beneath your tongue allows it to be absorbed by your mucous membranes and sublingual gland, through which it can enter the bloodstream and begin showing its effects.

- 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG), anandamide and
- endocannabinoids are produced in injured tissues via distinct biochemical pathways that are known to suppress sensitization and inflammation by activation of cannabinoid (CB) receptors.
- The compounds in Vijaya ultimately attach to cannabinoid receptors in the brain when someone drinks These receptors have the ability to alter mental equilibrium and produce euphoric effects. Some persons experience a decrease in depression symptoms as a result of this change.
- CBD and THC, reduce pain at the site of injury.The anti-inflammatory properties of THCs are primarily driven via activation of CB2 receptors on immune cells which ultimately dampens the body’s pain-inducing response to injury.
