Jesus The Anointed One

From EbaumsWorld I visited this page going into the possible usage of Marijuana by Jesus Christ. I have read articles like ‘Jesus was a pothead‘ and similar before, but it’s always nice to read about facts that the ‘believers’ will always try to disregard as bullshit.

Some noteworthy quotes:

The ancient recipe for this anointing oil, recorded in the Old Testament book of Exodus (30: 22-23) included over nine pounds of flowering cannabis tops, Hebrew “kaneh-bosm”, extracted into a hind (about 6.5 litres) of olive oil, along with a variety of other herbs and spices. The ancient chosen ones were literally drenched in this potent cannabis holy oil.

Jesus The Anointed One

This quote’s rather amusing:

Allegro [ a scholar of the bible and ancient languages ] never smoked marijuana, but his own observations of what he referred to as “the ‘pot’-smokers of today, the weary dotards who wander listlessly round our cities and universities,” caused him to discount any possible use of cannabis as a means of achieving spiritual ecstasy.
