Dude, there may be a danger........
in getting too much of our theology from High Times. What I think I smell here (much like the cloud that hung over my college dorm) is a sense that cannabis is what made Jesus great, rather than the only slightly less dubious divine endorsement of cannabis use.
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.
I think there probably are legitimate (ie. medical) uses for cannabis - or THC, but let’s keep it real folks.
