HEMP
Hemp has a long history in Nepal, dating back centuries. It is believed that hemp has been cultivated in Nepal for over 1,000 years and has been an important crop for the Nepalese people for both its economic and cultural significance.
Hemp has traditionally been used for a variety of purposes in Nepal, including as a source of fiber for textiles and ropes, as well as for medicinal and religious purposes. In the past, hemp was also used as a currency and was traded for goods and services.
In recent times, the cultivation and use of hemp has faced challenges due to international drug laws that classify cannabis, including hemp, as a controlled substance. Despite this, hemp cultivation and use continues in some parts of Nepal, particularly in the western part of the country.
The Nepalese government has recognized the potential economic benefits of hemp and has taken steps to legalize the cultivation of industrial hemp with a THC content of less than 0.3%. In 2020, the government passed a new law that allows for the production, processing, and export of hemp products, including textiles, food products, and medicinal products.
Overall, hemp has a rich and complex history in Nepal and continues to be an important crop for the country’s economy and culture.
Marijuana
Marijuana also has a long history in Nepal, dating back to ancient times. Marijuana is known locally as “bhang,” and it has been used for both medicinal and religious purposes in Nepal for centuries.
In Nepalese culture, marijuana has been used as a sacrament in Hindu religious ceremonies, particularly during the festival of Holi, where it is consumed in the form of a drink called “bhang lassi.” Marijuana has also been used for medicinal purposes in traditional Ayurvedic medicine in Nepal.
In the 1960s and 70s, Nepal became a popular destination for Western hippies seeking spiritual experiences and marijuana. The remote mountainous regions of Nepal, such as the Kathmandu (Jhoche, Basantapur), became a hub for counterculture activities and the use of marijuana for Americans and Hippies all around the world.
In recent times, the use and cultivation of marijuana have faced legal restrictions due to international drug laws. The Nepalese government has criminalized the use and possession of marijuana after the pressure from the American President Ronald Regan in 1973.
Despite legal restrictions, marijuana is still grown and consumed in Nepal, particularly in the rural areas of the country. The government has also recognized the potential economic benefits of the cannabis industry and has taken steps towards legalizing the cultivation and export of medicinal cannabis products.
