Hindus, Modern Pagans, and Indopaganism

[James Field]

what is Bhang like? I'm one of the uncool kids who has never touched weed.

I hear it isn't as strong as actually smoking it, or at least not as strong as whats considered good,or, as my friends from school would say "loud"

so its like, say, wine vs vodka in terms of strength?

I suppose, I've never actually had Bhang and I don't drink

Bhang is very enjoyable in lighter quantities. Made with milk, sugar, black pepper, almonds (and of course, marijuana leaves and iced, not very different from 'Thandai' sherbet), it is very tasty. A gentleman's drink.

Oh wow, that sounds like Chai, yum. <3

Apparently weed from India is far weaker than in the West, due to dealers amping up the THC using basic chemistry. But don't quote me on that.

Damn, son. Sign me up for a glass. Sounds refreshing!

Well, more like iced tea and better. One can even add saffron.

People will use as much paste of leaves as they require. It is available in form like marbles, one can add one, two or more. Done that, whenever you happen to be in Delhi or Rajasthan.

That sounds about right

How often do pagans, if any of y'all see this, use mead in yall's rituals ? Is it just Asatru ?

In my city, a glass of Bhang was routine in the evening on way to the Shiva temple.
