In the ecstasy of bhang the spark of the eternal in man turns into light the murkiness of matter or illusion… The soul is whom the spirit of bhang finds a home glides in the ocean of being free from the weary round of matter-blinded self.

J. M. Campbell,    

On the Religion of Hemp

Bhang is the cannabis sacrament of Shiva and Varanasi is this god’s city on the Ganges. Look for it at the Blue Lassi shop if you like lots of flavors to choose from. The Green Lassi shop sells plain bhang lassi’s cheaper, but does not have flavored.

Cannabis sativa

The main psychoactive compound in cannabis or cannabis resin is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Cannabinol (CBN) and Cannabidiol (CBD) are among the other main components. Cannabinol is the major breakdown product of THC and Cannabidiol is a precursor to THC.

THE BHANG LASSI EXPERIENCE Bhang lassi is a cannabis infused drink which has been used in India since as early as 1000 BC. It can pack a real punch, as this one did on my last visit. It is extremely easy to overdo it, so I'd suggest that if you embark you exercise due caution, especially if you are not a seasoned stoner.

“A third psychoactive Cannabis indica product is bhang. The term bhang refers to the small, resinous leaves of the plant as well as to drinks that are prepared from them. Bhang is prepared from watery hemp leaves, i.e., leaves that have been soaked in water, ground, and mixed with sugar and molasses (this method is typical for the region around Varanasi/Benares). But bhang can also be made with milk products:

  The drink called bhang lassie (thandai, poust, siddhi, ramras), which is made of yogurt, water, honey, pepper [cf. Piper spp.], and hemp flowers, symbolizes the sacred Ganges and can be obtained for pennies throughout India even today. It is equally venerated by pilgrims and by participants in marriage ceremonies and temple festivals. When alcohol is added to bhang, it is called loutki; if opium tincture [see Papaver somniferum] is also added to the preparation, then the Indians call the drink mourra. Bhang mixed with ice cream produces gulfi, also called hari gulfi (green ice), which is particularly popular in northern India. (Haag 1995, 78)

**just to be clear this is an excerpt from a book and I’m not suggesting anyone consume opium, any plant who’s name alludes to vomiting, or is otherwise poisonous. But the other ingredients sound great**
