Bhang and Indian Culture
Bhang’s link to Indian culture and festivals is not only restricted to Holi. As per myths and folktales, the drug goes way back to the tales of ‘Samandar Manthan’ when the Gods joined forces to churn Amrit from the oceans in order to save the world from doom. Wherever drops of Amrit spilled on the land, a cannabis plant was found to grow. Besides, bhang also finds detailed mention in the Atharvaveda texts as a potent stress-buster and anxiety reliever.
What is Bhang?
Wondering what is marijuana or bhang? It is an edible combination of leaves, buds, and flowers of the female cannabis or the marijuana plant. It is made by drying, soaking, and grinding the leaves and buds of the cannabis sativa plant (scientific name) to form a paste-like consistency and then this is added to drinks and food.
In India, as mentioned, bhang has been consumed on religious and cultural occasions for centuries. One of the most common ways of consumption is to combine bhang leaves with whey, yoghurt, and fresh or dry fruits and have them as a beverage that is locally referred to as bhang lassi.
Another popular bhang drink is bhang goli which is made from freshly ground bhang leaves and mixed with water. Bhang is also used in sweets after getting combined with clarified butter (ghee) and sugar or jaggery.
Bhang is grown widely in the states of Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, and the Sub-Himalayan regions. Aside from India, Bhang is also found to grow in countries such as Pakistan, China, Iran, Iraq, and parts of Europe.
