In remote Indian village, cannabis is its only livelihood

In this Tuesday Oct. 4, 2016 photo, Jabe Ram speaks on a mobile phone outside his home on the upper end of Malana village in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Malana has become one of the world's top stoner destinations, and a symbolical battleground for India's fight against 'charas,' the black and sticky hashish that has made the village famous. "They want us to completely stop growing marijuana. But we keep sowing it," Ram said. "If the government helped us in some way and protected us from hunger and cold, we would maybe consider stopping. Obviously, we are not going to go hungry. Even if we have to go to jail for it, so be it." (AP Photo/Rishabh R. Jain)MALANA, India (AP) — For hundreds of years, the tiny village was just a speck lost amid the grandiose mountains of the Indian Himalayas.
