Hi.

I understand your concern.
Charas contains cannabis. Other name is marijuana.

It contains tetrahydro canabiol and it is psychoactive substance.

It is pleasurable in intial doses but gradually become addictive to it.

It leads to physical and psychological ill effect in long term use.

It may affect reproduction and fertility also.

Better to avoid and keep healthy.

Glad to help you further.

Thank you.
