It seems a bit labor intensive, but then it is meant as an offering to Shiva.
With the weekend coming up, you might find use for this recipe for bhang from Flavors of India by Shanta Nimbark Sacharoff.

* 2 cups water
* 1 ounce marijuana (fresh leaves and flowers of a female plant preferred)
* 4 cups warm milk
* 2 tablespoons blanched and chopped almonds
* 1/8 teaspoon garam masala [a mixture of cloves, cinnamon, and cardamon]
* 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
* 1/2 to 1 teaspoon rosewater
* 1 cup sugar

Bring the water to a rapid boil and pour into a clean teapot. Remove any seeds or twigs from the marijuana, add it to the teapot and cover. Let this brew for about 7 minutes. Now strain the water and marijuana through a piece of muslin cloth, collect the water and save. Take the leaves and flowers and squeeze between your hands to extract any liquid that remains. Add this to the water. Place the leaves and flowers in a mortar and add 2 teaspoons warm milk. Slowly but firmly grind the milk and leaves together. Gather up the marijuana and squeeze out as much milk as you can. Repeat this process until you have used about 1/2 cup of milk (about 4 to 5 times). Collect all the milk that has been extracted and place in a bowl. By this time the marijuana will have turned into a pulpy mass. Add the chopped almonds and some more warm milk. Grind this in the mortar until a fine paste is formed. Squeeze this paste and collect the extract as before. Repeat a few more times until all that is left are some fibers and nut meal. Discard the residue. Combine all the liquids that have been collected, including the water the marijuana was brewed in. Add to this the garam masala, dried ginger and rosewater. Add the sugar and remaining milk. Chill, serve, and enjoy.

yes. in India they actually have Bhang shops; they are permited by the gov't.

haha, when my folks went to India before i was born (20+ yrs ago lol) the tour guides they were with said it caused extreme intoxication and was not recommended. :hippy:

I was high for 2 days and peeing green and it stunk of weed (my pee)... then again I drank half that recipe... later, I just used milk and weed, none of that flavouring, I drink it by the 4 fl.... one litre will usually do it for a weekend.... crazy shit...

Bhang is apparently quite medicating for people living with Crohn's disease.
I met a woman at a convention recently who was able to come off ALL medications and avoid surgery with a daily dose of a modified bhang made with cannabis cooked under pressure into goats milk (she is also intolerant of cows milk products). I believe that she is actually the administrator of this site (420patient) and this is a page from it:
