LOL! Forget the long history of hashish use by Muslims and the infamous Hashashin (Assasins), Dhivehistanis have a long history of drug use. From the drunken Diyoge Kulhi tantric rituals to the Sufi mystical trances, from afihun (opium) smoking Sultans to alcoholic toddy imbibing peasants, Dhivehistanis were fond of mind-altering substances. I guess Moslems need something to numb the misery of their existence and take them into a world of heavenly virgins, flying donkeys and angelic voices.
