Jesus was a stoner!
Monday 20 Jan 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE USE The Legalise Cannabis Alliance PO Box 198, Norwich NR3 3WB INCITEMENT ! Minister Billy McCann author, and campaigner for cannabis law reform claims that Cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil... and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ has upset the church in the South East.[1] What does the New Archbishop of Canterbury, Bishop's and vicar's of all creeds have to say about this? Why has W H Smith refuse to stock this very informative book on "moral grounds"? ----------------------- Legalise cannabis Alliance prospective parliamentary candidate the minister Billy McCann claims in his ground breaking new book on cannabis the evidence proves cannabis oils were widely used for anointing during the times of Jesus has upset the church in the South East. Billy McCann said: "Jesus was a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug. "The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem (also spelt bosm) which has since been identified as cannabis extract. Don Barnard of the LCA said: I do not normally bother with such trivial issues, 'who gives a dam if Jesus used cannabis'.... the questions needing an answer are should his flock be persecuted for using it today? Should we punish people whose only crime is growing and/consuming the herb cannabis. "However, for the record it would appear much of the published research and evidence to date seems to support Billy's claims. "Etymologist Sara Benetowa of the Institute of Anthropological Sciences in Warsaw discovered in 1936, the connection between kaneh bosm in the Old Testament as the original Semitic Hebrew origins of the word cannabis. Hebrew University in Jerusalem in 1980 confirmed this information as correct. " http://www.rism.org/isg/dlp/ganja/resources/godandganja.html RESEARCHERS SEE ALSO an in depth investigation on the subject matter: Cannabis and the Christ: Jesus used Marijuana http://www.cannabisculture.com/backissues/cc11/christ.html "The ancient recipe for the oil recorded in Exodus included 9 pounds of flowering cannabis ( known as kaneh-bosem in Hebrew) extracted into a hin (about eleven and a half pints) of olive oil with a variety of herbs and spices.. "Clearly it is time the church made a positive statement about the moral right to grow and/or use cannabis [or not] as the case might be".

I would want to say the stories printed in the Bible are much more dependent on faith and people's trusting in God and that is the way I have always interpreted them and would want to do so.

All he is doing is to say cannabis was around in those days and he has just made a link with it." Canon Roger Mason, vicar at St Mary's Church, Prittlewell said: "I think it is a lot of rubbish and hardly worth justifying with a serious answer. We constantly have psuedo-scientific people who tell us various figures in history were high on magic mushrooms or were visited by aliens but it doesn't mean it is true."
