Cannabis In The Bible

Discussion in 'Religion, Beliefs and Spirituality' started by cheeple, Jul 13, 2014.

  1. I saw a vid that "sweet cane" is in hebrew is Kaneh-bosm which is where we get the word cannabis from, while others say cannabis comes from a scynthian word for assasin.
     
    Theres also the genesis quote "eat the herb for you it shall be meat"
     
    i did some research and the word for "meat" is oklah and it can mean meat, it can also mean food, and it can also mean fuel.
     
    i just eat raw keif and that really resonates with me "eat the herb for you it shall be as fuel"
     
    because cannabis sustains and thats what fuel does,  it can sustain me for 6 to 8 hours at a time i dont require any food, and after i eat the herb i drink water like crazy.
     
    it also gets me out in the open air and reminds me to walk my dog, sometimes we go walking for so many hours he gives up and i have to bring him home and continue my walk to myself.
     
     

     
  2. Well, there's a mention or two of wine in the Bible. Unless there were prohibitionists around 2,000 years before Christ, I don't see any reason they wouldn't have mentioned it.
     
  3. Really? ^
     
    You don't think it's slightly possible that some things were removed from the text by those who had an agenda?
     
    You see, let's say a more direct mention of cannabis had been in there originally, and then a few came along who realised how much you knowing about it and using it would enable you to make a direct connection, feel and follow your own path, not require you to be led by man, so they, seeing how religion was able to control the masses, would have no real way of doing so if everyone had their eyes open.
     
    Solution?
     
    If they removed what mentioned it directly, leaving just the things that were ambiguous as they didn't matter, now no one comes to him but through god's representatives.
     
    Remember, back in the day most people were illiterate. They needed to be shown, have interpreted, be guided by, those who were their priests. The priests were the high caste, and would have known how to use the various plants and why, but as they were the leaders and everyone else the followers, by taking on that task themselves, they would simply do all the interpreting for you.
     
  4.  
    This is why I included the phrase "unless there were prohibitionists".
     
  5. Do you think there were then?
     
  6. I don't care -- besides, believing yes or no is purely unverifiable speculation.
     

  7.  
    Well, thanks for the interesting debate on the matter.  :rolleyes:
     
    As this is the RBS section of a stoner forum, needing our speculations to be verifiable doesn't matter.

    Yes, I've come across such ideas before, and to me they make sense. Whether it will ever be proven doesn't matter - it's all a question of belief anyway, but I like to think that once Jesus reached a certain level he would have to have been introduced to it by those who already knew its purpose. Even the Frankincense mentioned indicates a link to having one's mind altered, albeit more subtly, as this stuff is more than just a nice smell. Why do you think the Catholics always burn it in their services? It is a psychoactive substance that puts you into a mild state of happy receptivity. Good for making you feel that what's going on around you is real.
     
    For Jesus to have been Christ he would have needed to be anointed with it, meaning he'd use it regularly, and as it can easily open the door to feeling something greater, what with all the grooming and preparing that may have gone on to help him fulfil their prophesy, who knows how much such things played in this?
     
    I only know from my own experience in using it entheogenically how much more real such things seem to me. How much more connected to all that is, to the world in general, I feel, and the idea that the Christ energy, which was not just for Jesus but for all, can be felt directly once one is able to do so.
     
    "As I am so you will be."

    I agree that speculations don't need to be verifiable. You asked me what I thought. I find this particular fantasy less tantalizing than others.
     
  9. In Acts 7 it says Stephen was stoned and then went to sleep.
     
  10. more like he was stoned to death and was screaming to god to receive him
     
  11. :metal:  They really knew how to get stoned in the olden days.
     
  12.  
    Yeah your right, there are paintings of magic mushrooms all over the vatican, and look at the garb they wear red and white with a big mushroom shoulder top they are actually dressing like psychadelic mushrooms, you probably alraedy knew that but anyone reading this who hasnt just google image it.
     
  13. yes the holy annointing oil contained cannabis which was translated into english as "callamus" but callamus is an actualy poisoned and banned by the FDA.   Evidently the amount of cannabis in the holy annointing oil would have been enough to cause an intense high when applied to the skin and people had their heads drenched in it, if you ever have seen pictured of catholics back in the day some of them had this haircut where the entire center was shaved off and a perfect circle on the head, it would have been perfect to hold the oil and allow it to seep into the skin more fully.

    Kings 4:20

    The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore; they ate, they drank and they were happy.


    Chronicles 4:20

    The lampstands of pure gold with their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;


    Lamentations 4:20

    The LORD's anointed, our very life breath, was caught in their traps. We thought that under his shadow we would live among the nations.


    Daniel 4:20

    The tree you saw, which grew large and strong, with its top touching the sky, visible to the whole earth, [21] with beautiful leaves and abundant fruit, providing food for all, giving shelter to the beasts of the field, and having nesting places in its branches for the birds of the air- [22] you, O king, are that tree! You have become great and strong; your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to distant parts of the earth.


    Mark 4:20

    Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown?


    Luke 4:20

    Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him.


    Philippians 4:20

    To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.


    1 John 4:20

    If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
     
    Like Woahhh mannnnn.

    Nah no prohibitionists, the female cannabis plant was most likely in the holy annointing oil, and the romans had a drink for pain which was wine mixed with cannabis,  and it was part of the greek pharmakopia i'm not sure if that was bc or ad but i'm too stoned to look it up, ate a capsule of keif and trying to get one of my blondies to come over.

    It's really interesting, one of the original scholars who analyzed and translated the dead sea scrolls, so obviously was very highly respected to be chosen for that, when he linguistically analyzed the texts he basically determined that Jesus was just a big metaphor for psychedelic mushrooms. I never read the whole thing, but I did read some of it, and it's really interesting how he breaks down the original root meanings of words and stuff. It's like, in the bible various stories and phrases are supposedly plays on words and double meanings alluding to taking mushrooms. Obviously the linguistics involved are beyond what someone would just know, which makes it about impossible to really be sure about it, but it is a very interesting theory, and plausible in my opinion. The book is called 'The sacred mushroom and the cross.'

    Would begin to explain more about why the vatican loves a good mushroom.
     
  18.  
    this. makes more sense then most of Christianity :p
     
  19. I remember in the Da Vinci Code book. They said that the bible has almost no truth to it. The story of jesus was never portrayed correctly, they imaged him as a god. When he was just an ordinary man.
