India has to be one of very few countries in the world where one can legally stand on the street and have a cannabis drink without being arrested. The reality is that, cannabis so ingrained in the culture of India that the authorities are unable to criminalise it fully. Although selling of cannabis is prohibited in India, it’s readily available and no attempts are made to arrest the sellers. In fact, cannabis plants are native to India and are often a nuisance in many Indian gardens and fields across the country.
Bhang (cannabis, marijuana) is made from the buds and leaves of female cannabis plant. Through production and selling of cannabis is illegal in the country, bhang remains legal at some places due to cultural and religious reasons. In my home town of Patna, you’ll fine women selling bhang goli (bhang balls) on the streets at the famous Patna Market.
Hindu holy men have used marijuana for centuries and they believe that it’s the best way to worship and understand Lord Shiva, one of the powerful gods of the Hindu trinity. In addition, according to the Vedas, the cannabis plant was considered as one of the many sacred plants.
History of Bhang in India
Bhang is probably the oldest intoxicant in the world still in use. It has a long history in the Indian subcontinent, where Hindus associate it with their most powerful deity: the lord Shiva. Legend has it that Shiva brought bhang from the Himalayas for the pleasure of the mankind. According to another legend, bhang was discovered when the gods and demons together stirred the oceans with a big mountain in hopes of getting the nectre of life.
A famous Greek historian Herodotus who lived in the 4th century B.C. mentions the use of bhang among Indians. Some old Arabic texts refer to medicinal uses of bhang. The British were amazed to find such widespread use of bhang when they came to India during the 19th century. They were at a loss as to how to deal with it. A British report authored by J. M. Campbell in 1893-94 suggested: “To forbid or even seriously to restrict the use of so holy and gracious a herb as the hemp would cause widespread suffering and annoyance and to the large bands of worshiped ascetics deep-seated anger.” So bhang was not outlawed during the British rule in India.
Bhang Lassi at the holy city of Varanasi
Bhang Lassi
What exactly is Bhang Lassi? The exact translation would be something like “cannabis milkshake”. It would consist of nuts and spices such like almonds, pistachios, poppy seeds, pepper, ginger and sugar or honey mixed with cannabis powder prepared from cannabis plant and boiled with milk. It is then drunk either at room temperature or cold.
As it happens, bhang is the most popular intoxicant in India especially at times of festivity such as Holi and Shivaratri festivals. It’s usually consumed as milk or yogurt based beverage, famously known as “Bhang ki Thandai” or “Bhang Lassi”. You’ll find most of the bhang lassi shops in the Hindu holy city of Varanasi.
Some even like to smoke mainly in northern parts of the country. You’ll mainly find many sadhus (wandering holy men) smoking hashish called the “chillum”. Lord Shiva often is pictured lost in his own world holding a bowl of intoxicant. The bowl in fact is supposed to be the poison that Shiva drank to free the world of sins something to what Jesus did when he died on the cross for humanity. But some say that Shiva is consuming some form of drug particularly cannabis. Whatever the case maybe, cannabis or ganja is often associated with worship of the Shiva both in India and Nepal.
Consumption of Bhang
Unlike alcohol and other drugs, there is little or no social stigma attached to bhang. As a result, it’s consumed throughout the year. Consumption increases markedly near the popular festival of Holi. According to some estimates, sales go up more than four times the average around Holi.
Bhang is also sold at restaurants catering to foreign tourists. There are many government approved outlets who sell bhang lassi. It’s also used as an ingredient in bhajis, biscuits and several other Indian drinks and dishes.
Selling and buying of Bhang
Like in most countries, trade in cannabis is prohibited by the law. However, due to a cultural and religious association with the preparation, a limited use is permitted. Bhang is chiefly sold at special vendors based in the religious cities or ghats in Northern India. The selling is monitored by the government to stop an abuse of the drug since bhang can be used to prepare more potent intoxicants. Bhang can be bought from special vendors. However, it’s advisable to check with your local/regional/national government as buying cannabis is banned in most countries.
My personal experience of bhang
Have I tried bhang? Yes I have, a few times. Its tradition! I haven’t smoked it but have tried the bhang lassi and bhang goli (balls) on many occasions especially on the Indian festival of Holi and to be honest I do like it. Strangely, it makes me laugh a lot continuously for no reason what so ever not to mention the feeling of flying. From personal experience; bhang takes a long time to get to the head and takes even longer to sober.
Advice
Unless you exactly know what you are doing, my best advice is to stay away from it. But if you really want to try it out, then I urge you go to government approved shops and refrain from trying bhang from the street vendors. Always try the lighter versions of the bhang lassi first and not the “super duper sexy” strength as mentioned in the second video unless if you want to lie in your hotel bed and hallucinate for the next 2 days. If you go for the bhang biscuits, try a tiny bit first and wait for the results. You can increase the dose if you’re comfortable. Best advice is not to try bhang at all.
What are your thoughts on bhang lassi? Would you make a trip to India just for the bhang?
Many people call the
island country of Fiji the ‘Soft Coral Capital of the World,’ boasting
fantastic diving and snorkeling sites. Clearly, Fiji is a haven in the South

traveler to Fiji, you might wonder if Indian citizens can travel to the island.
Thankfully, India has visa-exempt status. You don’t need special authorization
to set foot on Fijian grounds, especially if your purpose is only for a short stay.
But you do need to
meet the proper requirements to receive a visitor’s permit that immigration
will give to you upon your arrival for your Fiji vacation. A passport valid for
six months on the travel date and at least two clear pages should get you a
foot in the door. You’ll also need a travel itinerary or reservation to and
from India, not a ticket.
You might wait until
the Fiji Immigration Department approves your visitor’s permit before
purchasing flight tickets and securing accommodation. You might also provide
proof of funds to see if you can support yourself while in the country. You can

companies run flight services from and to the country, and other general
questions.

all the crucial advisories. As of late, Fiji requires visitors to bring proof
of vaccination, according to the official website of the Ministry of Commerce,
Trade, Tourism, and Trasport under the Fijian government.
Try to look up any
information from the official government website of the destination. Preparing
yourself helps to avoid problems when you arrive.
3.How To Book Affordable Flight Tickets
There are a few ways
to save on flight tickets from India to Fiji. Even if you have the budget for
luxury travel, you can get more for less when traveling. You have more money to
spend during your stay as a great advantage when scouring for cheap

prices possible. You’ll need to identify the right opportunity to get a
reasonable price.

time to make price comparisons. Ensure that you visit all aggregator websites that provide you with
all the available flights for prices.

After booking tickets,
check the baggage allowances on the airways company website. If traveling with
others, you’ll want to ensure compliance with the weight and dimensions allowed
for your luggage, whether carry-on or checked. Requirements also apply if you’re
flying economy or business class.

to 126 cm (50 in.), including the handles and the wheels. Still, weights on certain
flights allow up to seven kilograms (15 lbs.) for one piece of luggage in both
economy and business classes.

Travelling around the world is an exciting and unique
experience that can open one’s eyes to new cultures and societies. From the
bustling streets of Tokyo to the sun-drenched beaches of the Caribbean,
travelling can offer a wealth of knowledge and experiences. However, travelling
around the world can also be expensive and difficult to manage. In this article,
I will explore the advantages and disadvantages of travelling around the world,
and how careful planning and an open mind can help to make the experience a
rewarding one.
Travelling around the world offers a unique and rewarding
experience, as it provides the opportunity to learn about other cultures and
societies. One of the major advantages of travelling is being exposed to a
variety of cultures, customs, and beliefs that may be unfamiliar. Through
direct interaction with locals, travellers can gain a deeper understanding of
the culture and its values. For instance, by visiting a local market, one can
observe the way people interact with each other and the types of goods they
purchase. Additionally, by visiting historical sites and monuments, travellers
can gain insight into the history and traditions of the culture. Furthermore,
travelling to different countries can help to broaden one's perspective and
appreciation of different cultures. For example, by visiting a country with a
different language, one can gain an appreciation for the complexity of the
language and the effort it takes to learn it. In conclusion, by learning about
other cultures, travelling around the world can offer a unique and rewarding
experience.
Travelling around the world can offer a unique and rewarding
experience, as it can help to broaden one's worldview and build empathy for
different people and ideas. In addition to learning about other cultures,
travelling can provide a deeper understanding of the world and its inhabitants.
For instance, visiting a developing country can help to put into perspective
the privileges and luxuries that people in developed countries often take for
granted. Similarly, travelling to a country with a different political system
can help to foster an appreciation for different ways of life and ideologies.
Furthermore, by interacting with people from different backgrounds, travellers
can gain a more profound understanding of the world and its inhabitants, which
can lead to greater empathy and respect for different people and ideas.
Ultimately, travelling around the world can be an invaluable experience, as it
can help to expand one's worldview and build empathy for different people and
ideas.
Despite the many benefits of travelling, such as broadening
one's worldview and building empathy, it can also be expensive and a burden on
one's finances. According to a recent survey, the average cost of a two-week
trip abroad is around $2,500, and this does not include the cost of visas,
vaccinations, and other travel-related expenses. Airfare, lodging, food, and
transportation can all add up quickly, making it difficult for many people to
afford. Moreover, if a person is travelling for an extended period of time,
they may need to take a leave of absence from work, resulting in a loss of
income. Despite the financial strain, travelling around the world can still
offer a unique and rewarding experience with careful planning and an open mind.
By researching destinations and budgeting carefully, one can still enjoy the
wonders of the world without breaking the bank. Additionally, taking advantage
of discounts, such as student discounts or group discounts, can help to reduce
the cost of travelling. With a bit of creativity and resourcefulness,
travelling can be an enjoyable and enriching experience.
In addition to the financial burden, long-term travel can
also be difficult to manage due to the lack of a stable home and routine.
Without a permanent residence, travellers are unable to establish a consistent
daily regimen, leading to feelings of restlessness and a lack of familiarity.
Furthermore, the absence of a home base can make it difficult to plan ahead and
make long-term commitments, forcing travellers to make decisions on a
day-to-day basis, which can be both mentally and physically taxing. Despite
these challenges, travelling around the world can still offer a unique and
rewarding experience with careful planning and an open mind. For instance, by
researching the local culture and customs of each destination, travellers can
gain a better understanding of the area and its people. Additionally, by
connecting with other travellers, it is possible to create a sense of community
and support even when far from home. Ultimately, with the right attitude and
preparation, long-term travel can be an enriching and life-changing experience.
Despite the potential difficulties of long-term travel,
travelling around the world can be an incredibly rewarding experience when
planned and executed properly. With careful planning and research, travellers
can find unique and exciting experiences that are tailored to their interests
and budget. For example, a traveller interested in history can visit ancient
ruins and monuments, while a traveller looking for an adrenaline rush can go
bungee jumping or skydiving. By immersing themselves in different cultures, travellers
can gain a better understanding of the world and its people. They can learn about
different customs, languages, and cuisines, and gain a new appreciation for the
diversity of the world. Additionally, travellers can make meaningful
connections with locals and other travellers, creating lasting memories and
friendships. Furthermore, travellers can gain a sense of independence and
self-confidence from navigating unfamiliar places and situations. With the
right preparation and attitude, travelling around the world can offer a unique
and rewarding experience that can be remembered and cherished for a lifetime.
Travelling around the world no doubt has its benefits and
drawbacks but with careful planning and an open mind, it can offer a unique and
rewarding experience. Exploring different cultures and societies can help to
broaden one's worldview and build empathy for different people and ideas.
However, travelling can be expensive and can be a burden on one’s finances, and
long-term travel can be difficult to manage due to the lack of a stable home
and routine. Ultimately, travelling can be a great way to learn about the world
and gain a new perspective on life. It can be a life-changing experience that
will stay with you for years to come.

First, they provide a quiet, independent activity that can
keep kids occupied for long periods of time. This can be especially helpful

their creativity and use their imagination. It allows them to explore different
colors and patterns, and create their own unique drawings. Additionally,

entertained while on vacation, providing hours of independent activity,

educational learning, and keeping them engaged during travel time.
-Coloring books can be a great way to encourage children to
relax and de-stress. The act of coloring can be meditative and can help kids to
focus and calm their minds. This can be especially helpful when traveling, as
it can help to counteract any feelings of anxiety or stress that may be caused
by being in unfamiliar surroundings.
-Coloring books can also be a great way to promote bonding

more complicated to color. Parents can help kids with the more difficult parts

children to new subjects such as art, history, science, mathematics, and more
through the illustrations, which can be educational and make them more
interested in those subjects.
These coloring books offer a variety of benefits
for children while traveling. They are not only entertaining but also
educational, promoting creativity, fine motor skill development, cultural and
educational learning, relaxation, and bonding between parents and children.
They are also a convenient and low-cost option for entertainment while on
vacation, making them a great option for children of all ages.
My book “Dinosaurs Can Be in Love Too” is available on Amazon contains educational information would be a great addition
to take on vacation for children. It can provide hours of entertainment while
also helping children learn about these fascinating creatures in an interactive
and engaging way. The illustrations and information provided in the book would
help children to understand different dinosaur species, the time periods in
which they lived, and their place in the history of our planet. Additionally,
if you have created it with children in mind, having large illustrations and
easy-to-read text would make it accessible for children of all ages.
