Cannabis residue found in ancient Jewish temple links hallucinogens with religion OR cannabis and frankincense were burned to purify and medicate the air? AncientMedicine

Well its about time!!!!

They found the holy grail then.

Aha!

That would fit

There should be legal action. Nick them.

Explains a lot

So this is how a fairy tale called religion was created. Not even surprised

That explains a lot.

The finding may be scientifically accurate but its conclusion subjective. It is well documented in history that the Jewish temples were on many occasions conquered and taken over and desecrated by pagan nations.

Well we all kinda knew that already, didn't we.

Cannabis is a Hellenic version of the Hebrew name 'Kane Bosem' (קנה בשם) that is mentioned as one of the components of a mix to be burned around altars (Names, 30)

Hallelujah

I knew it, I knew it, the things those ancient prophets wrote were clearly the result of hallucinogenic highs. Bet that in addition to smoking the weed they also chewed qat (kat) when hungry bite them in their caves and in the wilderness.

Cool

So, this means that some miracles were hallucinations

Hey it could be kosher kush

so you're saying the dude who got orders from god through a burning bush was high?! no way....

Get your facts right Guardian cannabis is not a hallucinogen

Well obviously there was drugs involved in the kind of imaginary texts in all religious books 😜

Makes perfect sense. Karl Marx knew what he was talking about.

hahaha... ahhhh... that's why...

What else could inspire fanatics on a make believe religion

Skunk psychosis just dont tell Donald

Been saying this for years. If it’s true story, why do new and updated versions of bible keep getting released. Bullshit fairytales with a little peyote and weed

God is the sun. Most religions if not all are a hoax, a giant con. Jesus never died, and there was 2 of them Sorry to quash your faiths, but they have been misplaced

So was that the real burning bush?

Is this what Moses meant when he talked about the burning bush

Aaron: Look that cherubs flying over that box, man Moses: Fantastic! Lets make an arch

Cannibus is not a hallucinogenic. It also has other uses like paper and rope.

Now it all makes sense.

That is the first reasonable explanation for the fairy tale of religion.

fabiorabin

Proof god is a hallucination

Mazel toke!

u sure it aint pure opium? im pretty sure they smoked the good stuff while they could.

Cone on. Cannabis is not hallucinogenic. It's like saying you're inebriated by coffee. 4/10. Must try harder.

So what's new?

Jesus was a pot smoker!

Jesus smoked weed

Should have never been separated
