as almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the
medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural
texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his
disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings.
The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an
ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as
cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs
magazine, High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by
Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr
Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims.
"There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic
religion," Carl Ruck, professor of classical mythology at Boston
University said.
