As
the
'drug
angle'
in
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
case
emerged
over
the
past
few
days,
and
reports
of
his
and
Rhea
Chakraborty's
alleged
use
of
Marijuana
surfaced,
there
has
been
a
furore
over
this
on
social
media.
Probably
in
response
to
this,
actor
Richa
Chadha
took
to
her
Twitter
handle
to
talk
about
the
apparent
medicinal
benefits
of
Marijuana
and
how
Cannabis
is
considered
a
'sacred
plant'
in
Indian
culture.
Richa
wrote
in
a
tweet,
"Cannabis
is
one
of
the
5
sacred
plants
mentioned
in
the
Atharvaveda.
Bhaang
is
considered
Bholanath
ka
prasad,
is
even
legal
on
Mahashivratri
and
Holi!
There
are
several
references
to
weed
in
our
texts.
In
fact
the
name
'Indica'
literally
means
'from
India'."
She
added
in
another
tweet,
"The
time
when
the
world
is
waking
up
to
the
medicinal
benefits
of
marijuana,
we
have
boomers
frothing
at
the
mouth
shouting
DRUGS!
Face
with
rolling
eyes
Please
do
some
research,
stop
insulting
this
gift
of
Soma.
Ignorant
people
do
not
have
the
right
to
insult
our
heritage
or
faith."
