India is one of the many countries where selling or consumption of marijuana is still illegal. However, cannabis has been used in India since early 2000BC and is also believed that Lord Shiva himself consumed it. His devotees even today consume it as ‘prasad’ in the form of bhang (a common term for edible marijuana in India). Even with all the history, weed is still illegal in India and bhang is the only source of legal or edible way to consume it.
