CANNABIS, known as Bhang in India and as hemp or marijuana elsewhere, (derivatives: Ganja, Charas Weed, etc.) is perhaps the only plant that extolled and demonized simultaneously. While Marijuana has much higher concentrations of psychoactive chemicals, hemp is almost completely non-psychoactive. Also, Cannabis is one of the hardiest plants in nature. This session is aimed at unraveling the mystery around Cannabis by separating facts from fiction.
