Is smoking marijuana a sin
I can only say...you've been looking for the wrong wording.
The name cannabis is generally thought to be of Scythian origin. Sula Benet in Cannabis and Culture argues that it has a much earlier origin in Semitic languages like Hebrew, occurring several times in the Old Testament. He states that in Exodus 30:23 that God commands Moses to make a holy anointing oil of myrrh, sweet cinnamon, kaneh bosm, and kassia. He continues that the word kaneh bosm is also rendered in the traditional Hebrew as kannabos or kannabus and that the root "kan" in this construction means "reed" or "hemp", while "bosm" means "aromatic". He states that in the earliest Greek translations of the old testament "kan" was rendered as "reed", leading to such erroneous English translations as "sweet calamus" (Exodus 30:23), sweet cane (Isaiah 43:24; Jeremiah 6:20) and "calamus" (Ezekiel 27:19; Song of Songs 4:14).
Perhaps you're familiar with the word 'shiva'.
btw...Jesus was a real person. Theres absolutely no disputing the fact that the man was here on Earth. Was he the son of christ though...that'd be the debate.
Either way, theres no getting around historical accounts of the period that had anyone whom was anointed, was done so with oil with cannabis as the key ingredient.
Then theres the mention of 'fragrant cane'...translated into the Hebrew Kaneh Bosum translated into English as...cannabis.
~sigh~...it won't much matter until records are unearthed indicating that Jesus had some sort of contact with marijuana. Right about then is when some serious denial on the part of many Christians would run rampant all over the globe.
And about current establishments being anti-pot and the pothead's reaction to such...establishments change...the effects of marijuana on people do not.
Hellz, even here in about as pot friendly an environment one can find...theres an undercurrent of anti-establishment. Potheads simply want to do things they want to do without outside interference.
