Bhang

Bhang is a traditional Indian preparation made from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa. It has been used for centuries in Hindu culture, particularly during festivals like Holi. Bhang is often consumed in food, drinks, or as part of religious rituals, and is known for its psychoactive effects due to the presence of THC, the compound responsible for marijuana's mind-altering properties. It is legal in certain parts of India, particularly during festivities, but its use is regulated. Bhang is distinct from other cannabis products like marijuana and hashish, which derive from different parts of the plant.
