There are NUMBEROUS verses in the bible talking about herbs in a positive light, one of the most famous being "I have created all green herbs bearing seed, for you to be as meat"(paraphrased)....now, this is very interesting, as it also says in the bible, (once again paraphrased) "In latter times, the spirit speaketh expressingly, that some shall speak against the meats in which God hath given you for thanksgiving"...now if "herb" is as meat, does this not mean the bible could have already prophecized the stigma against smoking weed now-a-days?


"Kaneh-Bosm"(Kaneh-Bos sounds familier eh? the M is to make it plural), was used to make annointing oil...a hebrew university or something has confirmed that "Kaneh-Bosm" is indeed the Cannabis plant, and 9 pounds would be mixed in with other substances (like cinnamen, myrrth, and i believe olive), and rubbed on the skin for healing, driving away evil spirits, and forgiveness of sins. The amount of cannabis added in, was (i think) 250 Shekels. Depending on which type of Shekel(i think there were different sizing in shekels per location), this is about 9 pounds of cannibis. This annointing oil would be so incredibly psycoactive, it is said it could be absorbed in the skin to produce an incredible high. "Kaneh-Bosm" was also used in incense, i think even the incense in the The Sanctuary of the Lord contained kaneh-bosm.

Other things:

Mice injected with THC lived longer than mice that were not injected with THC.

We have cannabis receptors in the brain.(meaning we were CREATED with the choice to use cannabis...why else would God put cannabis receptors in our brain, i think Cannabis is the only drug there is that we already have receptors for)

Cannabis is a great medicine, safer than most legal drugs.

Cannabis is an herb....whens the last time God prohibitted the use of an herb?

If i remember correctly, cannabis resin has been found in incense holders in jewish temples.
seems to me were on the same page here, no its not a sin, in fact god calls the holy annointing oil (with cannabis as an ingredient) holy!
