Surrounded by mounds of freshly harvested tropical cannabis, they eat, get high, get the munchies, eat some more, go to sleep, wake up, and then eat again; an exotic \u00a0dynamic that&#8217;s easily effective, unique, and truly amazing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mymarijuanacards.com\/ohio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/indianmystic-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Sacred Hindu Texts Say Cannabis Is A 'Spiritual Guardian' \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymarijuanacards.com\/ohio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/indianmystic-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mymarijuanacards.com\/ohio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/indianmystic.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>2. Sacred Hindu Texts Say It&#8217;s A &#8216;Spiritual Guardian&#8217; \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cannabis has a long history in India. It&#8217;s even mentioned in the Vedas, their four sacred Hindu texts, estimated to\u00a0have been compiled as early as 2000 B.C.\u00a0According to The Vedas, cannabis was one of five sacred plants, and a guardian angel lived within the leaves. Bane of demons and warder of fear, cannabis is said to have been brought from the Himalayas by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient.eu\/shiva\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hindu God Shiva<\/a>\u00a0for the pleasure of all mankind.<\/p>\n<p>Legend says the Gods stirred the heavenly oceans with the peak of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mount_Mandara\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mount Mandara<\/a>, until a drop of celestial\u00a0nectar\u00a0fell to the earth.

When he woke, \u00a0he ate some leaves of the plant and was instantly, powerfully renewed. Then he named cannabis his favorite food and subsequently became known as the Lord of Bhang. The Atharva Veda says cannabis\u00a0cleanses\u00a0sin and that humans can use it to \u00a0commune with Shiva.

As the British expected, the proud Zulus refused, and Zululand was invaded January 1879.<\/p>\n<p>Cetshwayo held back, as he didn&#8217;t want war and was hoping to negotiate a treaty.<\/p>\n<p>Confident in their technology and well-developed strategy, the British marched three military columns through the heart of Zululand, to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Isandlwana\">Isandlwana<\/a>\u00a0expecting a relatively unobstructed advance.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially cornered, Cetshwayo organized a huge Zulu force to take position and orchestrate an ambush.<\/p>\n<p>In what&#8217;s described as one of the worst defeats ever suffered by a modern army against a technologically inferior indigenous force, the Zulu surrounded their columns and wiped the invaders out.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from clever strategy, insane speed and unique military tactics, the Zulu victory in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/NBHXTyHEHd4\">Battle of Isandlwana<\/a>\u00a0was won in part by peculiar pharmacology. Zulu shamans treated warriors with potions before battle that made them focused, fearless, and seemingly able to shake off the bullets of the Martini-Henry rifles their opponents were using against them.<\/p>\n<p>Their cache included snuff made with a special form of South African cannabis called Dagga, which focused their aggressive energies instead of relaxing them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-136\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mymarijuanacards.com\/ohio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/declaration-of-independence-hemp-300x197.jpg\" alt=\"The Declaration of Independence was Written on Hemp\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymarijuanacards.com\/ohio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/declaration-of-independence-hemp-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mymarijuanacards.com\/ohio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/declaration-of-independence-hemp.jpg 682w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>5.
