This was an amazing article! It resonated with me so deeply it gave me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing your story, and I wish you good luck with quitting. Thanks for the support and love! I quit smoking almost two years ago, after 12 years of smoking. One day I decided that the pack I have in my pocket will be the last one.
And it was! I think our minds and body tell us when they are ready to make a decision like that. Thank you for sharing Maggie! I quit a few years ago but returned with the rule of only organic cigarettes. I drink green smoothies daily. Today marks two weeks no booze. I started to see that I was overindulging with my nightly white wine and decided I needed a detox from my Chardonnay to find more mindful ways to deal with stress.
I appreciate your honesty and it plants that seed for me to kick this last vice. Kristin, I am totally with you! Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Bhang is a cannabis drink much like the mango lassi you may have had in an Indian restaurant. It is the basic word for cannabis. Ganja is smoked cannabis. Jamaica may have popularized that term, but it comes from India. Both forms are used by devotees of Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction. Shiva is also the originator of yoga and he consumes a lot of bhang and ganja.
In this myth, the gods and the demons cooperated in this churning to create the elixir of immortality. During this churning process, many things emerged from the ocean. One of them was a horrible poison that threatened to kill all involved.
Shiva swallowed this poison and held it in his throat, which turned him blue. It also raised his body temperature so much that Shiva could have burned everything up. To control this temperature, three things happened. First, the river Ganges fell from heaven into his hair to cool his head off.
Second, he set up his home in the cold Himalayas. Third, he consumed bhang. So, first, bhang was considered a medicine and a very potent one at that. There is no textual evidence that says that Shiva consumed cannabis as a form of recreation. Indeed, while Ayurveda traditional Indian medicine does consider cannabis as a medicinal product, the texts recommend against over-consumption.
Holi is the festival of the Indian new year. You might know it as the color festival where people throw colored powder everywhere in a riotous celebration.
