Do you know Why Lord Shiva Smokes Marijuana? During Samudra Manthan, LordShiva swallowed the poison and kept it in his throat. As the poison caused immense heat, he started getting restless.

Marijuana and cannabis are known as the coolants, which lowers down the  body’s metabolism and brings the overall body-temperature down. This is the reason Lord Shiva smokes Marijuana to balance his body-temperature.

Interesting information from about God Shiva, Bholenath. One more reason why God Shiva does that is he also consumes Bhang which consists of the same. But the more important reason behind this is He takes what is rejected by society. As such He is not in need of medication but that is a way of telling I want to stay alone and concentrate on meditation. As God Shiva likes meditation a lot. One more thing is He takes what all is harmful for people in the world that is one more reason. Bhaang is a very holy drink and keeps one in Dhyaan Mudra if one really would want to attain such a position. One more reason is people tend to misuse what is mentioned in the Puranas.

 

Nowhere has He asked people to consume it which they do it. If they would want to do the same they can consume the poison too which God Shiva drank to save the world. So hope people do not end up justifying this saying God Shiva did it. If God Shiva does it their will be a very good reason for that including the one you have mentioned above. But hope humans do not do what Gods are capable of doing. Thanks for the input.
