Below I have given how hashish effects one's memory
Psychedelic Drugs
Hashish is a potent form of marijuana extracted from cannabis plants.
Short term effects
The short term effects of hashish use include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch); difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate, anxiety, and panic attacks.
Long term effects
People who smoke marijuana often have the same respiratory problems as cigarette smokers. These individuals may have daily cough and sputum, symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and more frequent chest colds. They are also at greater risk of getting lung infections such as pneumonia. Marijuana contains some of the same, and sometimes even more, of the cancer causing chemicals found in cigarette smoke.
Effects on Learning and Social Behavior
Marijuana or hashish affects memory, judgment and perception. Learning and attention skills are impaired among people who use hashish heavily. Longitudinal research on marijuana use among young people below college age indicates those who use marijuana have lower achievement than the non users, more acceptance of deviant behavior, more delinquent behavior and aggression, greater rebelliousness, poorer relationships with parents, and more associations with delinquent and drug using friends.
Effects on Pregnancy
Any drug of abuse can affect a mother's health during pregnancy. Some studies have found that babies born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy were smaller than those born to mothers who did not use the drug.
A nursing mother who uses marijuana passes some of the byproducts to the baby in her breast milk. Research indicates that the use of marijuana by a mother during the first month of breast feeding can impair the infant's motor development.
Addictive Potential
A drug is becoming addictive, if it causes compulsive, uncontrollable drug craving, seeking, and use, even in the face of negative health and social consequences. While not everyone who uses marijuana becomes addicted, when a user begins to seek out and take the drug compulsively, that person is said to be dependent or addicted to the drug.
The biggest danger is going for harder drugs like heroin.
Manna Mushroom
Manna (Hebrew) or al-Mann wa al-Salwa (Arabic),is an edible substance according to the Bible and the Quran. It is believed that, god provided this substance to the Israelites during their travels in the desert.
Manna is from Heaven, according to the Bible, but the inherent identification of manna as naturalistic is historic.
In the Mishnah, manna is treated as a natural but unique substance, "created during the twilight of the sixth day of Creation" and ensured to be clean, before it arrives, by the sweeping of the ground by a northern wind and subsequent rains.
According to classical rabbinical literature, manna was ground in a heavenly mill for the use of the righteous, but some of it was allocated to the wicked and left for them to grind themselves.
There are many types of mushrooms used from China to Middle east to Mexico with various and potent psychedelic constituents.

Addictions
Humans had been using addictive and stimulant drugs probably from prehistoric times.
They included tea to, coffee to, psychedelic drugs.
Careful examination of the practices in the monasteries both in the East and West, provide ample evidence to support the use of psychoactive drugs, if not habitually but in secretive ceremonies.
They were kept out of reach of the laypersons.
It is even postulated that discovery of divine spirit and religious teachings originated under the influence of these mood elevating psychedelic drugs.
They are kept away from layperson so that the divine incarnation was for only a few selected individuals in the hierarchy of the religious institutions.
Even the Red Indians and natives of the South America had used various preparations obtained from plants.
But the discovery of these methods and plants in the last century and their extraction in concentrated form changed the secretive habits to the public domain.
LSD was a case in point in nineteen sixties but the ban on LSD did not stop the discovery or the use of cocaine and heroin. In fact, the use has been gradually increasing and drug cartels started emerging all over the world.
It is controlled by the underworld and no government in the East or West was able to stop this trend.
My own views are strong and against their use, even in minute quantities. The simple reason is that the user is not satisfied with the milder form and their tendency is to go for stronger and more addictive ingredients.
That is the nature of the affliction called addiction.
If they have been used in monasteries or by so called gurus or ascetics, in my pervasive view is, it defeats the very intent of meditation practice or mental culture.

How to Make Kombucha at Home and Brew Your Own Probiotics
We're well aware of kombucha's healthful properties—namely its ability to aid digestion and relieve bloating—but its benefits go well beyond the stomach. The probiotic-packed drink "is loaded with antioxidants that aid in the decline of cellular destruction and it contains acetic acid which helps to fight off bacteria like candida yeast," explains Lauren Manzo, an adult primary care geriatric nurse practitioner who brews her own kombucha at home.
She says kombucha could even aid in heart
disease—though more research is needed on the subject—and could
help diabetics to lower glucose levels, especially if they replace
soda with kombucha. Because
incorporating kombucha into your daily diet can come with a steep
price tag if you drink the store-bought variety, we had Manzo give
her tried-and-true pointers on how to make kombucha at home.
For
starters, you must have the right equipment. "I recommend glass
containers only," says Manzo. "I use gallon-size glass
jars from World Market," but she says that mason jars are fine
too. Next, she recommends a measuring cup for sugar, a pot to boil
the tea, a measuring glass, and glass jars to brew the SCOBY (an
acronym for "symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast,"
says Manzo, or essentially the source of the probiotic properties of
your homemade kombucha)
"Sterilization and cleanliness are
key," notes Manzo. "I boil water and pour it in all
utensils for kombucha brewing to sterilize and let it cool to room
temp." Cleanliness also matters for cleanup and storage between
uses. "If you don't use the SCOBY for a while, it is
recommended to keep it in some starter tea at room temperature,"
she advises. "I cover with a coffee filter and rubber band."
Besides
saving money by avoiding added sugars, brewing your own kombucha at
home allows you to experiment with new flavors and varieties. Manzo
says she adds extra ingredients to her kombucha for flavor but warns
to "never add flavors to the glass that contains the SCOBY."
Instead, she sometimes does a second ferment by pouring kombucha
into separate smaller glass jars and adding some blueberries or
ginger for extra flavor. Keep
scrolling for a step-by-step guide for how to make kombucha at home.
1.
Boil water and then steep the tea bags for
about five to 10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the brew
to be. Then add sugar.
2. In a separate container, add the SCOBY to the starter liquid. You can use equal parts distilled white vinegar as a substitute if you don't yet have a starter, or even plain kombucha. Manzo recommends GT Enlightened Organic Raw Kombucha Original.
3. Once the tea is room-temperature, pour it into the container with the SCOBY and starter liquid. Manzo underscores that it is very important to let the tea cool to room temperature before adding it in with the SCOBY and starter liquid, as high temperatures will kill the SCOBY.
4. Cover the jar with a tight-weave towel or coffee filter, and secure with a rubber band.
5. Let the mixture sit undisturbed out of direct sunlight at 68° to 85° for seven to 30 days, or to taste. Manzo recommends tasting it after day seven but ideally letting it sit for two weeks. She notes that winter months will require longer brew times.
7. Pour kombucha off the top of the jar, retaining the SCOBY and liquid from the bottom of the jar to use as starter tea for the next batch.

What Happens to Your Body When You Drink Kombucha
Kombucha
has long been a player in the wellness world, dating back to Chinese
culture in 200 BC, as reported by Forbes. For those unfamiliar, it's
a beverage that generally begins with green or black tea which is
then fermented with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (also
referred to as SCOBY). The name is said to be derived from Dr.
Kombu, a Korean physician who presented the drink to Emperor Ingyō
of Japan to help cure his ailments. (Back then it was much more
savory and made with mushrooms—not the sweet commercial variations
we drink today.) As a testament to its large concentration of B
vitamins, Japanese samurai warriors allegedly carried the tea in
their wineskins to energize them for battle.
Fast-forward to several centuries later,
and kombucha's popularity skyrocketed worldwide, with figureheads
even claiming it had the ability to address serious diseases like
AIDS and cancer. Of course, such claims have not been proven.
Despite the validity of these large assertions, there are several
chemical compounds found in kombucha that make the case for it being
a nutritious, "functional"
beverage. These are all dependent on the individual fermentation
times of the brews, the temperature at which they're manufactured,
and their sugar content, among other factors, but generally
speaking, you'll likely find several B vitamins, detoxifying
glucuronic acid, and antioxidant-rich polyphenols, all adding to the
allure of the beverage.
We
visited the HQ of Bear's
Fruit, a Brooklyn-based kombucha
company, where co-founder Amy Driscoll chatted with us about the
benefits of this popular carbonated beverage. Driscoll poured
through stacks of research (though truth be told, more studies need
to be done) and put together 10 scientifically-backed benefits of
kombucha to validate its thousands of years of existence. Her words,
below.
1. Anti-Aging
"As we age, our skin cells
deteriorate, causing the skin to lose its elasticity, sag, and
wrinkle. Kombucha tea contains powerful antioxidants called EGCGs
which are 20 times better at attacking the free radicals that break
down your cells than vitamin C, which studies have shown is
associated with better skin and notable decreases in skin
wrinkling."
2. Wards off Chronic Disease
"As mentioned before, kombucha
contains EGCGs as well as theaflavin, two powerful antioxidants that
help our body defend against dangerous free radicals, which have
been linked to cancer and other chronic diseases that account for a
major portion of deaths today. For instance, one randomized
controlled study on heart disease found that drinking black tea for
12 weeks significantly decreased triglyceride values by 36%, reduced
blood sugar levels by 18%, and lowered the LDL/HDL plasma ratio by
17%.
Also, another study following 74,961 people over 10 years found that those who drank four or more cups of black tea per day had a 32% lower risk of stroke than those who did not drink tea." [Ed. note: You'll have to ensure the kombucha you're drinking was brewed with black tea, as some are made with other variations.]

[Ed. note: You'll have to ensure the kombucha you're drinking was brewed with black tea, as some are made with other variations.]
3. Boosts Immunity
"Kombucha has three times more
vitamin C than an orange (151 milligrams per 100 milliliters of
kombucha compared with an orange's 51.1 milligrams)."
4. Better Skin, Hair, and Nails
"Kombucha has a ton of B vitamins
(B1, B2, B6, and B12, to be specific), which are essential for
maintaining and producing new, healthy cells. Drinking this 'vitamin
B cocktail' found in kombucha helps your skin glow and strengthens
your hair
and nails."
5. Kills Harmful Bacteria
"Kombucha tea has been proven to
have natural antimicrobial properties thanks to the fermentation
process. The good bacteria (probiotics) and acetic acids in kombucha
help your body kill the bad bacteria we’re exposed to on a daily
basis.
"Kombucha inhibits the growth and
spread of dangerous and toxic microorganisms such as salmonella, E.
coli, and listeria.
"Beyond the potential pitfalls of
foodborne illness from questionable takeout, the pH level in
kombucha can also kill strep throat and other icky germs you pick up
while riding the subway to work."
6. Weight Loss
"Kombucha contains a boatload of
probiotics and acetic acid. Both have been scientifically proven to
aid weight loss:
"Probiotics reduce the number of
calories you absorb from food and affect hormones and proteins
related to appetite, fat storage, and obesity by upping your healthy
gut bacteria count.
"Acetic acid has been proven to
curb hunger, reduce bloating, and reduce overall body weight by
preventing your body from processing food into fat."
7. Better Digestion
"The healthy gut bacteria found in
kombucha improves digestion and prevents oh-so-fun bathroom
issues like diarrhea.
"One important note here: Kombucha
is a naturally carbonated beverage. Too much carbonation can
actually reverse the anti-bloating benefits you get from the
probiotics, making you feel gassier and generally meh.
How much is too much? If opening a kombucha bottle is similar to
popping a bottle of champagne, then that’s too much (even if it is
more fun, sorry!). Bear’s Fruit is only
lightly
carbonated for a crisp
taste without the unpleasant side effects."
8. Helps the Body Detoxify
"The glucuronic acid in kombucha
binds to toxins, which allows the kidneys and liver to push them out
faster. Toxins
can be anything from one too many tequilas (we’ve all been there)
or harmful carcinogens and pollution we’re exposed to on a daily
basis. In fact, studies have shown drinking kombucha regularly
reduces liver toxicity caused by dangerous chemicals by 70% in some
cases."
9. Improves Memory
"Kombucha contains vitamin B9 (also
known as folic acid), which has been known to help with memory
recall and fight against neurodegenerative conditions in the brain
including Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and epileptic seizures."
