| h English (en) | Cannabis has held sacred status in several religions and has served as an [[entheogen]] – a [[chemical substance]] used in religious, [[shamanism|shamanic]], or [[spirituality|spiritual]] contexts – in the Indian subcontinent since the [[Vedic period]]. The earliest known reports regarding the sacred status of cannabis in the Indian subcontinent come from the [[Atharva Veda]], estimated to have been composed sometime around 1400 BCE. The Hindu god [[Shiva]] is described as a cannabis user, known as the "Lord of [[bhang]]". In modern culture, the spiritual use of cannabis has been spread by the disciples of the [[Rastafari movement]] who use cannabis as a [[sacrament]] and as an aid to meditation. |
