"The beating of drums, the rattle of tomtoms, and the yells and howls of the rebels, drunk with opium and with bang..."

A name for marihuana I've not seen for quite a while.

Well, what was it? Bhang or bang--or both?

Take yor choice of spellings. But don't get a bang out of bang.

Definitely 'bhang' for me. It has a strongly aspirated sound as pronounced in Hindi, and is much loved throughout India.

Regrettably it seems to be true that cannabis is the
choice of losers, if not actually the creator thereof.
