Countries that have legalized bhang
in 2022
Introduction
Bhang is an ancient substance that has been
used for thousands of years. The first recorded use of bhang was for religious
purposes, consumed by Hindus as an offering to their gods.
However, the use of bhang spread beyond
religious ceremonies and became popular among ordinary people.
It is said that Lord Shiva himself used
bhang to increase his level of consciousness during meditation.
Bhang was introduced into the Western world
by Hippies during the 60s and 70s who found it helpful in their spiritual quest
for enlightenment.
Canada
Legalized bhang in 2018, making it the first
country to legalize cannabis. The legalization of bhang is expected to increase
its popularity among Canadians and thus provide a boost to its economy as well.
Bhang is widely available in Canada and can be easily purchased at any local dispensary. It comes in various forms, such as gummies, candies, lollipops, cakes, etc.
The Netherlands
The Netherlands decriminalized bhang in
2022. Now it is legal to possess and sell bhang in the country. The Dutch
government regulates bhang sale, which is sold in coffee shops.
Bhang should not be confused with hashish,
which has been legalized in many countries around the world, including Canada
and some U.S states like Colorado, California, Alaska, and Nevada (where
recreational use of marijuana was also legalized).
Hashish is made from the resin of certain types of cannabis plants that have been harvested at maturity and then compressed into blocks for more accessible storage and transport.
South Africa
South Africa has been the first African country to legalize bhang in 2022. South Africa is also the second country in the world to legalize bhang, after Canada (which legalized Bhang on May 31st, 2022).
Uruguay
Uruguay was the first country to legalize
bhang in 2022. In February of that year, they legalized recreational and
medicinal use of the drug.
It is legal to grow and sell Bhang in
Uruguay. You can even buy it at some pharmacies. If you are caught with Bhang
in Mexico, though, you could be fined or jailed for up to 5 years for
possession, and if you're caught with more than 50 kilograms (110 pounds), or 1
kilogram (2 pounds) if this is your first offense, you could be sentenced as
much as 15 years behind bars.
In Canada and every other country where bhang has been legalized so far except for Mexico and the United States (which only decriminalized marijuana use), cops are legally allowed to arrest people who possess amounts of weed greater than what's permitted by law but cannot arrest individuals simply because they have a joint on them while driving down an interstate highway.
Portugal
Portugal became the first EU country to
legalize bhang in 2022. In 2002, Portugal decriminalized personal Bhang
possession.
In 2013, the Portuguese Cannabis Social Club was founded as a non-profit organization of patients and consumers to provide easy access to medical marijuana for those needing it.
Spain
Spain legalized bhang in 2022, making it the first to legalize bhang. Spain was also the second country to legalize Bhang after Uruguay.

Almost 20 countries have legalized bhang in
2022, and nearly all of them are European countries.

20th, 2013.
