I suggest peeking on the main post of this thread. I am not Indian and do not come from there. I live in a country with a prison system that treat their prisoners better than psych patients. Our prisons look like borderline hotel rooms and offer good accommodations for those that need it. I replied to your initial comment because I decided to take my time to read a bit on the topic in India.

I have roots in an African country where illegal cannabis farms operate. There is a reason why it's called "weed". Cannabis is so resilient you can burn down the farm and it just spawns back. India is also another country where the climate is ideal for it to thrive. Most farms usually start from the plant itself just growing naturally due to environment that makes it thrive alone, hence the illegal farms are in small forest villages and mountains where there is less law enforcement present. This does not remove the fact the law enforcement in India has in the recent years started to crack down on them. This does not include legal farms because they're used for industry and medicine.
Because of placement of such farms, Tamil Nadu is not considered the major ones, however, law enforcement does look out:

For weed, they can crack down on it but it will still find a way to grow even without humans. They can however take down those who are using and working with it. Ketamine and other drugs are not so natural lol. People who have those growing in their animal/veggie farm or people living near a forest within their own land, and want to avoid legal trouble frequently burn the plant, even though it's an endless battle, that's just what they do.
This is comical to me because:
1. It's not postal workers ≠customs.
2. NDPS Act (Section 42 and 43).
see 42 here,
see 43 here.
Can be anything from a tip, high-risk area, or reasons from packaging. Intuition alone to open a package may not be legally bounding, but it can be a baseline to check a package in the position of the officer and where the search is done. Think of it like how airport security functions. I have worked for the government in my own country, includes drug related instances, though the field is not specific to it: when you're in the field and learn how to express reasoning, you very often get things your way in terms of a task, without much effort and time, especially with how to formulate your words in a legal setting and proper protocol.
Weed and ketamine are not comparable though. Ketamine is more harmful than weed in terms of strength and active per gram. It's literally the reason why ketamine is used on site with staff and carefully dosed. Though still classified in their own categories in India like the rest of the world, India stands out because they treat them both equally by law. Ket is legal in India for monitored medical use.
The US has a fent problem, along with the large amount of packages coming into the US, they are actively prioritising deadly drugs rather than weed. You say it depends on laws, and you are correct. However, if you're going to respond to a person from another country of yours, you're better off not replying at all, or doing research on how they handle narcotics and if law enforcement is in an ongoing or is starting a campaign. India is doing exactly that right now. They are currently running on a zero-tolerance policy, and their laws reflect this. In the US, small amount of drugs are treated much more lightly.
Packages within India cannot be sent anonymously both ways. As for packages from outside of India, it's possible to be a sender without name and address through post. I am aware that India is unlucky in terms of geo placement, since their neighbors traffic a lot of the drugs in and out of India with their operations. If you want to read a bit, this is a good conclusive report, though a bit outdated since it's from 2019, information on drug sources and status of their neighbors still apply:

Although still an issue, it still does not remove the fact that they're actively in the process of shutting it down, so it's really not worth the risk at all. They have invested in this. This is how tourists are sent to prison and then deported after their sentencing without bail.
You are promoting something that will land a person in jail if caught. If there are frequent and recent crackdowns, it's best to lay low at all costs. It's not very fun being suicidal and a prisoner. If they have eyes on one operation, it's easier to get linked to others. As for ordering on the darknet, quality depends on the source. Even then, see my previous reply on the risks. The benefits do not outweigh it in a country like India.
I have mentioned in this thread that street-drugs are not safe either, but it is easier to remove the risk of not being identified. Again, their best bet is consulting another doctor because of the severe consequences if busted. OP can seek another opinion and it's within their right to do so. As many "second" opinions as they are physically able to get. They can first of all advocate without begging, or they can also seek a certified online doctor to document that previous methods of treatment (not therapy alone, but also failed medication), to suggest next possible steps. The online doctor bit has become quite universal.
Although some sources state the option for bail if the court concludes the intent and the amount if within their definition of personal use, it does risk losing certain advantages in the country you'd normally have. IF you get a good lawyer and can afford bail, which is a lot for most people in India as is. Is it really worth the risk going through such risk along with possible family problems as a result? I don't think so. Again, best option is to try other medical professionals.
