Cannabis and Sikhism

Okay, so you know how some people use a plant called cannabis to feel happy or relaxed? Well, some people who follow Sikhism, which is a religion, have different beliefs about using cannabis.

In Sikhism, it is important to have a clear mind and be in control of your actions. Using cannabis can sometimes make it harder for someone to do those things. That's why some Sikhs choose not to use cannabis at all.

However, other Sikhs believe that cannabis can be used in certain situations, like for medical purposes if a doctor recommends it, or during certain religious ceremonies. It's important to remember that everyone has different beliefs and opinions, even people who follow the same religion.

So, in short, some Sikhs choose not to use cannabis because they want to have a clear mind and be in control of their actions, while others might use it in certain situations that are important to them.
