Jesus 'healed using cannabis'

Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings.

The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs magazine, High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims.

Article continues
"There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic religion," Carl Ruck, professor of classical mythology at Boston University said.

Referring to the existence of cannabis in anointing oils used in ceremonies, he added: "Obviously the easy availability and long-established tradition of cannabis in early Judaism _ would inevitably have included it in the [Christian] mixtures."

Mr Bennett suggests those anointed with the oils used by Jesus were "literally drenched in this potent mixture _ Although most modern people choose to smoke or eat pot, when its active ingredients are transferred into an oil-based carrier, it can also be absorbed through the skin".

Quoting the New Testament, Mr Bennett argues that Jesus anointed his disciples with the oil and encouraged them to do the same with other followers. This could have been responsible for healing eye and skin diseases referred to in the Gospels.

"If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil _ and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ," Mr Bennett concludes.

What If God Smoked Cannabis

[ sung to the tune of What If God Was One Of Us - Joan Osborne ]

If God had long hair
And a goatee,
And if his eyes looked pretty glazed...
If He looked spaced out
Would you buy his story?
Would you believe he had an eye infection?

And yeah, yeah, God he looks baked
And yeah, yeah, God He smells good,
And yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah...

What if God smoked cannabis?
Hit the bung like some of us?
Drove a tie-dyed microbus,
And he subscribed to Rolling Stone?

When God made this place,
In the beginning,
Did He plant any seeds?
Or did he put them there for Adam and Eve,
So they'd be hungry for the apple that the snake
Was always offering?

And yeah, yeah... God rolls great,
And yeah, yeah, God he smells good,
And yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah...

What if God smoked cannabis?
Do you suppose he had a buzz
When he made the platypus
When he created earth, our home?
Does He like Pearl Jam or the Stones?
And do you think He rolls His own
Up there in heaven on the throne?

And when the saints go marching home,
Does he just sit and smoke a bone




Thanks to Bob Rivers, Spike and Joe

Actually, God did make alcohol.

A wedding in Cana, to be specific, at his mother's request.

Yes I did :)

And verily, it was good.

But it did not exist in a natural state before then, only through the works of man. And even today, with all of the technology available, there are mortals who can't make a decent wine or beer.

With Me, it's a perfect pint every time :gulp:

Absolutely! She said: "It's getting fuckin' boring here... Jeez... Can't you make us some booze, you who are so smart?!"

And there was wine. :D

I don't remember reading that he MADE it but he sure did say to "drink all you can, tab's on me!"

[blonddgirl777]

When I was "forced" to go to mass with my parents I could hear the (Catholic) priest say; "Drink that wine, it's my blood"...

This is when it went too far for me... I don't like cannibalism, I'm more into cannabism...

[NATEDOG001976]

That cup was nasty! Why would they want everyone drinking out of the same cup!

[ODShowtime]

That's enough to convince me to go to church!

I cannot wait to annoint myself this evening. It's been a long week in magic city.
