Since the time Coronavirus began spreading in Wuhan, China, there are multiple magical cures that have cropped up and are floating across the internet. Don't fall for them. Don't drink chlorine dioxide. They are all fake.
One such fake screengrab of a news bulletin that shows marijuana is effective in killing the deadly Coronavirus has made way to social media, and filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane apparently fell for it. So much so, he even appealed to make it "legal."
On Feb 8, Vivek Agnihotri posted a screengrab doing the rounds on social media that says ¡®Breaking News: Weed kills coronavirus.¡¯
Twitter
"Cannabis is a magic plant. Till mid-80s it was sold by Govt. Because of Rajiv Gandhi and western Pharma companies it got bad name,¡± he wrote, ending his tweet with an appeal, ¡°Make cannabis legal.¡±
Solution to a lot of world¡¯s problems lie in India. But you can¡¯t find them as long as you ridicule our ancient wisdom.

He became a target of trolls on social media. Now, after several days, Sacred Games director Vikramaditya Motwane has joined the bandwagon to mock him.
Sharing a tweet by ANI that showed BSF in Tripura having seized 889 kg 'ganja' & destroyed around 4500 mature cannabis plants in forest land of Sepahijala District, Motwane wrote, ¡°They¡¯re destroying ancient Indian wisdom sir @vivekagnihotri¡±.

In response to that tweet, a user wrote, "One day Mr. Agnihotri will write a book about how 40% of India is infested by gyms and how gyms are going to rule the country. It'll be called Urban Muscle."
To this, Vivek replied, "Great idea. Will follow up.
