I with my bunch had gone to Uran Beach to celebrate Holi on Sunday and we also had bhaang. It was a different experience. We actually consumed a lot of it; we should've gone slow.
The effect was quite similar to what they show on TV. We were all delusional and hallucinating. There was puke everywhere. I couldn't eat and neither could I keep my eyes open. I was getting adrenaline pangs every now and then. I experienced an array of emotions and each one was so intense. I had never in my life felt the way I did then. Everything seemed so psychedelic.
It felt as though we were a part of some silly zombie movie.
I am not saying that I won't have it again, but I am certainly going to be careful about the quantity next time.
Here are some things you should know when planning to have bhaang:
- Do not mix 10-12 bhaang golis in just 3 litres of thandai. 6 bhaang golis in 7-8 litres of milk/thandai or more is the right mix.
- Go slow. Don't keep chugging glass after glass like a fool. It is not beer or tequilla
- Do not go to a beach or in a pool after having bhaang because you might pass out there and die
- Make sure you have it at some safe place so that it's okay if you doze off there. Bhaang makes you sleepy
- Always do it with a bunch of people you trust
- Keep munching and drink lots of water after you consume bhaang
You need to be careful about the decisions you make as even a small one can affect your life enormously. It is in your hands to make this festival of colors a source of joy or a reason for regret.
We just got lucky.
