Bhang shop in Noida: Bhang, an edible preparation of cannabis, has been synonymous with Holi since the festival’s inception.

For the uninitiated, bhang is usually consumed with thandai, a sweet milk-based drink. Thandai is ideal for the occasion, as bhang becomes much more potent when ingested with something sweet. Consuming bhang tends to lift one’s spirits and lower inhibitions, setting just the right mood for a wacky festival like Holi.

But bhang is cannabis and cannabis is illegal. So how do people manage to procure it?

Well, if you live in Noida, you can just ‘score’ some from a government-approved bhang shop in Sector 15!

The nondescript shop is in a seedy lane in the Nayabans area, at a walking distance from the Sector 15 Metro station.
