NPOV issues

This article seems to be not have been written in a Neutral POV. I tried to clean up as much as I could, but a lot of improvement can be made.

Some of the following are instances of where the article is not written in a Neutral POV.

Mixtures with tobacco

In my opinion, this does information should not belong in this article. It does not add much information and seems irrelevant. Perhaps a better section would be the process of making charas from the Cannabis plant than a section of what can be mixed with it for consumption. I wanted to point in the talk page to see everyone's opinion on this subject matter. ShellPandey (talk) 22:01, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

I have removed this section due to a lack of sources and citations. Some of the information in this section is merely repeated again (such as how smoking from a chillum works). The remaining information merely talks about how charas can be smoked with tobacco with one dead citation. Removing this section for now (WP:DUE). Please feel free to add if it if you find more sources and citations. --ShellPandey (talk) 08:40, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
