Bhang is a traditional Indian edible preparation derived from the leaves and buds of the cannabis plant. Deeply rooted in Hindu tradition, bhang is considered a prasad (offering) of Lord Shiva, particularly popular during the Holi and Maha Shivaratri festivals. I have seen growing in his shed. The farming of these plants is prohibited in India. However, there are certain portion in the mountain which see abundant growing of these plant.
While enjoying the scenic beauty of the hills I found these bunch of flowers growing so wildly that no one even care to see them. The hills have cold weather which makes them to grow naturally. I do not have much deep understanding of these Cannabies but seeing them growing naturally reminded me of the various contents published over #hive
Cannabis is an extremely robust plant that can adapt to various conditions, including poorer soil types and varying altitudes. It is often found in uncultivated wastelands, along roadsides, and on riverbanks, particularly in hilly terrain. While it grows widely, the local police authority regularly undertake drives to destroy wild cannabis to combat drug abuse, indicating that it is often treated as a weed in uncontrolled areas.
For local people they used them as an offering the diety. There are many law aims to prevent the cultivation of cannabis for ganja (flowering/fruiting tops) and charas (resin), which are illegal narcotics, unlike leaves which are used for bhang.
In good faith - Peace!!
