Drug use in India

 Have you ever taken weed or tobacco or alcohol? Well I took tobacco once in a hookah and the after effects were amazing. Luckily I am not addicted to it now but, is this kind of addiction good?

No, weed addiction is not good and promoting any kind of intoxicating substance is not the motive of my blog, we will just be talking about it's medical benefits, should it be legal and Bhang's significance in Hindu religion.

Yes, weed and other substances do have some medical benefits. Says re search.

Ayurveda has used cannabis and other drugs to treat diseases like epilepsy and it also helps in relieving pain and stress.

Bhang is legal in some Indian states like Madhya Pradesh and Gujrat and people consume it openly.

Pharma companies use a certain composition of it as painkillers in their medicines

But then, Why does the society sees it in a negative way? Why is Bhang legal and not Charas and Ganja?

Weed and all the other drugs are addictive and once a person is addicted it is very hard to quit, so this is the one reason why society neglects it.

 Other reason maybe because the pharmaceutical companies in India wanted their medicines to be taken by people as pain relievers and not natural things like cannabis(weed) or bhang.[business motive]

Now people are paying more money in buying costly medicines rather than consuming cheap drugs like charas .[Maybe these drugs can be used as an alternative to costly medicines but not for any other use ]

Bhang is legal maybe because of it’s mention in religious texts as something consumed  by lord Shiva.

People take bhang in the name of Lord Shiva but, I feel bhang was just a symbol used to depict how lord Shiva was engrossed in his meditation that he was unaffected by the outside world(something which happens when you are not in your senses). It was his deep meditation which made him loose connection with the world and not bhang. Well this is what I think.

Even with all these benefits or drugs it is still bad for the nervous system and we can’t consume it legally everywhere. So is there an alternative to it which is safe?

Yes, and the answer is meditation.
