"CANNABIS INDICA" --- In small doses it is first stimulating, later sedative. . . . In migraine, hemicrania, neuralgis, and headache due to eye-strain, it may be used with marked success, and it is one of the best of anodynes in multiple neuritis. It is one of the most valuable and satisfactory drugs in the neuroses accompanying pregnancy, and dysmemorrhea is one of the principal indications for its use. It is unequaled to quiet the neuroses, pregnancy and the menopause. It is a valuable adjunct to quinin, and he believes from his own observation that it has a powerful action on muscular contraction particularly of the uterus, and combined with ergot is a valuable adjunct. It is useful in professed menstruation, decreasing the flow without completely arresting it. He has not found it of much value as an aphrodisiac, through it may be somewhat effective in some cases of impotence. He has seen evident improvement in several cases of diabetes mellitus, and it is very useful in relieving intolerable itching and burning in all neuroses of the skin. --- JAMA 1900, V.35, p 457
Why do we offer bhang to Lord Shiva?
According to Hindu mythology, intoxicating substance like bhang and dhatura are associated with Lord Shiva. It is believed that he keeps himself intoxicated with bhang so that the world remains safe from his anger. Bhang is distributed as a religious offering during Shiva festivals like "Mahashivratri".
It is believed that Lord Shiva lives a life of a sage in the mountains. Like all the sages, he stays in mountains and meditates. The extreme cold terrains there make it mandatory for them to use such intoxicating substance to keep themselves warm.
These substances also have medicinal qualities. If taken in proper amount they can cure insomnia and lack of hunger. But, if these substances are taken in high dose and regularly then they can harm you. These substances are associated with Lord Shiva because of its medicinal and other qualities.
There is another reason why these substances are associated with Lord Shiva. The people who consume these things are considered outcaste and are generally not accepted by the society. It is believed that Shiva loves all his devotees, even of they are outcaste and are associated with drug abuse.
