We all know that 'bhang' drink is used by some Nihangs, however officially both Budha Tal and Taruna Dal have said that it is against Gurmat and they will 'punish' the fake Nihangs who use it and act like real Nihangs.....

anyway, i recently found out the reason why some of these guys use it:

they say it is written in Dasam Granth!

now i have not read Dasam Granth...so if any one know of this....and in which context it is written, plz help me out!

i am fully aware of the fact that it is not allowed, but why is it written in Dasam Granth about it? :T:

metaphors....many metaphors in gurbani

so the akali nihung orgz have actually banned it eh??

so has akaal takht?

[Deep Singh]

yeah....Veer....

last year (i do not remember the date or issue nr.) but i read in the news that after a convention these orgz have done it.....but like in another newspaper i read they did not....and they still use it....

it is all so confusing......

nihang leader Santa SIngh was excommunicated by Akal Takht some time after 84 because he took help from Gandhi for the construction work or something......however the new leader Baba Balbir Singh has said something against it....like not to use drugs....and in tribune it is said that also Santa Singh said it afterwards.... :D

and all along Akal Takht has been pressing these Babas to say so.....

Taking Bhang (SukhNidaan) is against gurmat. It does not say it is ok to take in dasam granth. I beleive there is something about medicinal use.

In the old days during war etc.. Leaves of cannibus would be used with bandages as a kind of pain killer etc. And that is it. It would be put on a wound NOT taken internally.

Taking it internally (or any drug) for pleasure is utter manmat.

cannabis, opioids/afeem etc were mainly used for medicine reasons, In fact, In Punjab they are still used for medicine.

In Punjab, in the pinds, when someone has a stroke they give them afeem, and that gets them back up and running again.

There have been cases where cannabis has killed cancer cells. Theres a lady in my town how cured herself from cancer by taking cannabis.

Cannabis also helps with epilepsy 

The problem is, in todays time, people/idiots use cannabis etc for stupid reasons, to get high, "have fun"  which has completely changed how people perceive cannabis, opioids etc 

The culture around cannabis today is negative, rap music videos, dodgy "handshakes" on street corners lol, etc  this has changed how we see it.

I believe God created all herbs and plants for good reasons, but as humans we have a tendency to mess everything up, to sin, to do the forbidden. 

They are drugs if you make them into drugs, the real drugs are what doctors prescribe you with!!  

I wonder who is responsible for all this     

just my opinion
