Now that's a bit of a stretch. The actual translation of kaneh-bosem/bosm is "sweet cane." Sweet cane is Sweet Calamus (also known as fragrant cane).

Regardless of what some Bible researchers claim, this was backed up by the Torah itself.
They obviously used it. How would anyone honestly believe that a plant that grows naturally and so prolifically in that region would not have been used for it's medicinal and recreational purposes.

Yes, obviously persecuting people for having or smoking an extremely beneficial plant is anti-Christ. His message was about peace and acceptance, regardless of what plants were currently used for healing in that time or by Christ himself. Maybe one day the world will listen to the tune
My brother makes an amazing cannabis massage oil. My girl rubbed me down with it once, head to toe and it was one of the most incredible sensations I have ever had. My whole body was just jelly... My aged grandmother uses the oil on her arthritic hands with great success!
