There's more to it then that. There's a verse where God gets angry because the people didn't bring kaneh to his temple and in response he fills the tents with smoke! Also they have found cannabis resin in the candholders in Jewish Church's. There are many other doctrine outside of the bible mostly within orthodox point of views where God is thought to have taught us the mystery of the seven trees, cannabis being one of them...:smokin: :rasta:
