Quick Summary

Bhang is a term primarily used in South Asia for preparations derived from the cannabis plant. It is known for being the least potent of these preparations, containing a small amount of resin. Bhang is typically consumed as a drink, often mixed with milk or yogurt, water, and spices, or it can be smoked. Historically, bhang has been used in India as an anesthetic and to treat various ailments. While other cannabis preparations like hashish are made from the pure resin and are significantly more potent, bhang is made from the leaves and has a milder effect.123
