2026年2月15日, 数千人在尼泊尔的普什帕蒂纳寺(Pashupatinath Temple)祈祷并吸食大麻。 On Feb. 15, 2026, thousands prayed and smoked cannabis at Nepal’s Pashupatinath Temple during Shivaratri, a festival honoring Lord Shiva, despite the drug’s legal ban.

2026年2月15日，数千人聚集在尼泊尔帕苏帕蒂纳特神庙，参加湿婆夜节，这是一个重要的印度教节日，旨在纪念湿婆神，信徒们包括年轻信徒和圣人，公开吸食大麻，作为宗教传统的一部分。 On February 15, 2026, thousands gathered at Nepal’s Pashupatinath Temple for Shivaratri, a major Hindu festival honoring Lord Shiva, during which devotees, including young followers and holy men, openly smoked cannabis as part of religious tradition. 虽然根据尼泊尔法律大麻是非法的——使用者可判处一个月监禁,贩运者可判处十年监禁——但在节日期间允许这种做法,因为Shiva与植物有象征性的联系。 Though cannabis is illegal under Nepali law—with penalties up to a month in prison for users and 10 years for traffickers—this practice is permitted during the festival due to Shiva’s symbolic association with the plant. 这次活动在附近的Bankali山丘上举行,吸引了尼泊尔和印度各地的朝圣者,举行祈祷、舞蹈和仪式。 The event, held on the nearby Bankali hills, drew pilgrims from across Nepal and India, featuring prayers, dancing, and rituals. 尽管正在努力使大麻合法化,但进展停滞不前,突出显示了国家禁毒法与根深蒂固的宗教习俗之间的紧张关系。 Despite ongoing efforts to legalize cannabis, progress has stalled, highlighting the tension between national drug laws and deep-rooted religious customs.
