Tips:

• Bhang powder can be purchased at specialty stores or online. Alternatively, you can make your own bhang powder by grinding dried cannabis leaves and flowers in a coffee grinder or food processor.
• Be sure to use only the recommended amount of bhang powder in this recipe. Consuming too much bhang can cause unwanted side effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations.
• It is important to store any unused bhang powder in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• This recipe makes enough for 2-3 servings. If you need to make more, simply double or triple the recipe.
• Always drink bhang in moderation and never drive or operate heavy machinery after consuming it.
• Make sure to drink in a good area-wide place with no nearby harmful things, and also avoid drinking on roads and terraces.
• If you are having issues after drinking bhang then Start drinking water, get a Lemon, or eat curd/butter/ Ghee, Have a very good sleep. Eating healthy food with butter and ghee helps.
