Fakir
Fakir (ফকির, from Arabic faqīr, "poor one") is, in its narrow Bengali sense, an initiatic mendicant tradition descended from rural Sufism in eastern India and present-day Bangladesh, overlapping in practice and personnel with the Baul orbit. Bengali Fakirs are documented users of cannabis in both smoked (ganja) and ingested forms (bhang, siddhi), with cannabis figuring in daily practice, in shrine ritual at Sufi dargāhs and in the body-centred sādhanā that links the Fakir lines to the wider Baul-Fakir constellation of Bengal.{{rp|1–15}}
In wider Islamic usage the term faqīr covers a much broader range of ascetic and devotional traditions across the Muslim world; this page is concerned specifically with the Bengali Fakir tradition as it intersects with cannabis cultivation and consumption in the Ganga-Brahmaputra plains. read more →

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.
