Cannabis has deep roots in Nepal's spiritual, cultural, and medicinal traditions. But for decades, the herb has been caught in the crossfire of global politics and the war on drugs. Despite its historic and religious significance, the future of cannabis in Nepal is now on the brink of change.
The Spiritual Connection
Cannabis isn't just a plant in Nepal—it's a sacred part of their culture. Each year, during the Mahashivaratri festival, thousands of people gather in the heart of Nepal to honor the Hindu god Shiva. It's a time for devotion, but also a time when cannabis takes center stage. Known as Shiva's herb, cannabis is smoked in the form of "Shiva booty" as part of the ritual. Attendees partake in this ancient tradition, a practice that's been linked to the god's blessings for centuries.
