Apparently after originating in China, cannabis made its way west and was celebrated in many cultures around the world. In Indian folklore, the Vedas, India's for most sacred books written approximately 4000 years ago, tell of a Hindu God Lord Shiva' who refreshed in the heat of the day by eating the leaves of the marijuana plant. It is reported that Lord Shiva adopted these leaves as his favourite food. He was given the title Lord if Bhang'.
Bhang' is a traditional Indian beverage derived from cannabis and mixed with numerous other herbs and spices which has been a staple drink for the whole country for centuries. The Indians developed other forms of marijuana delicacies such as Ganja' which is prepared from flowering marijuana plants for smoke and eating. Charas' is alot more powerful than both Bhang and Ganja and is cultivated from a full bloom cannabis flower that has powerful THC resins seeping from it. It borders closely with hashish in terms on psycho-active power.
The prevalence of marijuana within the Indian history and culture is very strong. It is seen as a thread that links a lot of noble and powerful spiritual experiences together and has been used in transformative ways throughout spirituality rich countries such as Nepal and Tibet. Marijuana has had a strong influence on traditional Indian life, through worship and survival. Warriors preparing for battle, couples about to wed, and any sacred Indian ceremony that celebrates life has the representation of Lord Shiva through the marijuana plant present.
