How widely used is bhang in india?

Question

i heard it is decriminalized on holidays like holi, as it is used rampantly around india for religious purposes....and that in some lord shiva temples, priests will give bhang out to people

is it widely used in india, in general, on holi, and for religious reasons or considered a taboo drug of street dwellers?

Answer 1

I have seen government authorised bhang shops in Rajistan (Jaipur), and other bhang shops in Varanassi, thats all I can say

Answer 2

Ooooooooooh man, my experience of bhang is quite interesting. It is easy to get when you inquire about it to hotel employees. It is cheap and can be quite potent, so take a little at a time, and allow at least an hour for it to catch up to you. (It kinda sneaks up on you sometimes).

Answer 3

its not only used for religious purposes, its a free drug for weed smokers.....its a basic plant used in preparation of weed...

Answer 4

bhang is taboo in cultured society, only sadhus,sanyasis,use it
