Mahanirvana Tantra
The Mahānirvāṇa Tantra (Sanskrit महानिर्वाणतन्त्रम्, "Tantra of the Great Liberation") is a Sanskrit Tantric scripture of the Śākta tradition, cast as a dialogue between Śiva and Pārvatī and divided into fourteen chapters (ullāsa). It is one of the most widely cited Tantric texts to record the ritual use of cannabis, under the Sanskrit name vijayā (विजया), which the standard commentary glosses explicitly as bhaṅgā (भङ्गा).
The cannabis material occupies a small but tightly framed sequence in the fifth chapter (Pañcamollāsaḥ), where the goddess is offered vijayā as a sanctified substance within the pañca-tattva ritual. The text supplies a purification mantra, an offering procedure and a prescription for the practitioner to consume the bhaṅgā from the left palm following the worship. The commentary by Hariharānanda Bhāratī, the sannyasi associated with the early Bengali Tantric revival of the late 18th and early 19th century, is the standard interpretive layer transmitted with the printed Sanskrit text and the one used in Avalon's English translation. read more →

Cannabis eradications
We are witnessing the rapid disappearance of traditional cultivation knowledge and genetic diversity in cannabis. These landrace populations represent thousands of years of natural and human selection, containing unique genetic traits and chemical profiles. Systematic documentation and conservation efforts can serve as a bridge, preserving irreplaceable genetic heritage while supporting traditional communities and advancing our understanding of this remarkable plant.
