It's pronounced 'bong', but it's spelt 'bhang'.
hi garry
coincidentally, i was watching an episode of Sex and the City (i watch it in English with English subtitles in case I lose the dialogue) and they happened to say the word "bong" after I had seen your post and wrote it "bong" in the subtitles (which btw was the way I had always thought it was written)
So, i googled a little and found that bong is the recipient to smoke (that works with water) and that bhang is a A highly therapeutic stimulant and ayurvedic hemp preparation that awakes
cosmic consciousness according to some sources and an astringent and narcotic drug according to others.

Hola Chiquillos,
I'm so glad Be gave un the technical explantation. Ever since joing the forum, I had thought that Belén=A highly therapeutic stimulant and ayurvedic ...... that awakes cosmic consciousness. Now I know a second meaning, so we can use it in puns and other agreeable preparations.
I still advise the original poster to be a little careful about asking for such items in countries where he may travel. I know of people who have had their sojourns extended for years, rather involuntarily.
Saludos,
Cuchu
