Bhang consumed during Holi is an edible way of consuming marijuana leaves. It is commonly mixed with milk, lassi, or thandai, or just eaten in a form of goli. Although it has had cultural and religious significance for a long time, it is important to remember that it is an illegal substance.?
If this is your first time experimenting with bhang, worry not because we have got your back. Here are 8 things to look out for to make you enjoy bhang safely,
The worst mistake you can make is to underestimate the effect of bhang and drink a lot. So, drink only a moderate amount as the new experience you get after drinking bhang can be overwhelming.?
Remember to be calm, don't be anxious and enjoy the process. It is possible that once the effects kick in, you might say what is this? I don't want this, so remember that the high always fades away after some time.
Have a sober friend with you so they can help. Being with someone who is not sober can make the experience a bit wild for you.
Drink it in a safe place. Never drink bhang alone or with people that you don't know. Ladies, gents and someone who has just turned 18, please make sure to drink with people that you trust and not alone or in a park.
Most beginners will drink more when they feel the effects are not kicking in. It is important to remember that the effects of bhang kick in after 30-45 minutes, so be patient.
If you want to feel like the high is increasing without consuming bhang, you can eat sweets, and remember to eat sweets in moderation. Sweets when consumed after drinking bhang may give you a feeling that the high is increasing.
Mixing two substances like bhang and alcohol can have effects that are very bad for your body and mind.?
Remember to drink water, as bhang can make your mouth feel dry.
In the end, remember to drink moderately, be patient, and always priorities safety and well-being while experimenting with any substance.
