ok, i probably should just leave well enough alone, but i just cant STAND listening to ignorant ass people blowing up our forums without proper knowledge of what they speak of. I am a very devout christian, and just as a devout smoker... First of all, Jesus was a real man, and there is historical data to back it up. What is not known, and has been oppressed by the damn catholics for almost 2000 years, is that Jesus was a pot smoking rebel, who was taking a stand against the romans. Our beloved cannabis oil, also was a gift from god. The burning bush story, well there was a little left out from the original story. The hebrew text has been translated with a new version being uncovered, here is a quote from Wiki:
"the references to cannabis as an ingredient of the holy anointing oil is actually from the Torah (Five Books of Moses), Exodus 30:23. The plant is called in Hebrew "kaneh bosem" (literally "fragrant cane"). Contrary to the translation of the Septuagint, and supported by both Aramaic translations (the Targum and the Peshita), this is identified as the cannabis plant. A theory exists that the Hebrew "kaneh bosem" is the etymological precursor for the word "cannabis". In Aryeh Kaplan's contemporary English translation of the Five Books, "The Living Torah", he includes a picture of the hemp plant as an illustration (p. 442). It is also interesting to note Exodus 3:2 (also found in the Torah). The passage mentions a pivotal moment for Moses' life when he goes up on a mountain and speaks with a burning "bush"."
there is more information on the subject, basically cannabis is the key ingredient of the holy anointing oil used by Moses and his descendents.
