What is Marijuana? and Where is it from?

Cannabis Sativa, a weed herb from ancient India was grown back from 2000 BC. Marijuana is the another name for Cannabis Sativa. The plant was mentioned in the books of ‘Veda’ period as ‘Soma’, an intoxicating ritual drink. The book called ‘Rigveda’ praised Marijuana as lord of plants. Some Hindu ritual books refer Marijuana as a medicinal plant. In North India, the plant was considered as sacred because the plant was under regular consumption of lord Shiva. The plant was consumed all over India for ages.


Other states have banned cannabis completely for individual use. Still it can be seen people in the state like Odisha and Uttarkhand smoking Marijuana in ‘Chillams’, a small pipe like tool used for the consumption of marijuana made of either metal or mud.

Even though the plant was in use from ‘Veda’ period it was banned by the Indian government. The use of marijuana is also widely spread in the world’s great countries but they too have banned it. Recently some countries like USA getting legalizing the cannabis is to be noted.
