Senior Bollywood actor Anupam Kher shared his experience of using cannabis and hashish in his youth. In a conversation on the YouTube channel “Unfiltered”, he said that after smoking hashish for the first time, he felt as if the sky, the road, and the car were all moving.
Anupam Kher said that once he saw a plane flying in the sky and realized that he had reached somewhere else. He also remembered his NSD (National School of Drama) days, when, after tasting cannabis for the first time, he kept laughing for eight hours while his friends, who were also drunk, stood on the roof and shouted to the warden that “the army is coming”.
He said that in this state, he felt like he was a character in the movie The Mask. Anupam Kher said that these experiences made him understand that such things give temporary pleasure but lose control over the human condition, which is why he vowed that he would never touch cannabis or hashish again.
