Inspired by GGoddess's Purple Beer Thread

“According to one of their legends, Siva became enraged over some family squabble and went off by himself in the fields. There, the cool shade of a tall marihuana plant brought him a comforting refuge from the torrid rays of the blazing sun. Curious about this plant that sheltered him from the heat of the day, he ate some of its leaves and felt so refreshed that he adopted it as his favorite food, hence his title, the Lord of Bhang.”

Bhang also refers to “a mild liquid refreshment made with its leaves” One recipe:

Cannabis 220 grains Poppy seed 120 grains Pepper 120 grains Ginger 40 grains Caraway seed 10 grains Cloves 10 grains Cardamom 10 grains Cinnamon 10 grains Cucumber seed 120 grains Almonds 120 grains Nutmeg 10 grains Rosebuds 60 grains Sugar 4 ounces Milk 20 ounces Boiled together [M.V.Ball, “The Effects of Haschisch Not Due to Cannabis Indica,” Therapeutic Gazette, 34 (1910): 777-80

“Two other concoctions made from cannabis in India are ganja and charas. Ganja is prepared from the flowers and upper leaves and is more potent than bhang. Charas, the moxst potent of the three preparations, is made from the flowers in the height of their bloom. Charas contains a relatively large amount of resin and is roughly similar in strength to hashish.”

“Bhang was and still is to India what alcohol is to the West... It is said that those who speak derisively of bhang are doomed to suffer the torments of hell as long as the sun shines in the heavens.”
