Cannabis in Religion - Seeing the Light from Darkness
The sign of the cross, the crucifix, represented in its simplest form by a crossing of two lines at right angles, greatly resonates in both the East and the West, the introduction of Christianity.
Another symbol which has been connected with the cross is the ansated cross (ankh or crux ansata) of the ancient Egyptians, wrongly called the "ansated key of the Nile".
It often appears as a symbolic sign in the hands of the goddess Sekhet.
From the earliest times also it appears among the hieroglyphic signs symbolic of life or of the living, and was transliterated into Greek as Anse (Ansa).
As indicated by the name "Christianity", the focus of Christian theology is a belief in Jesus as the Messiah or Christ . The title "Messiah" comes from the Hebrew word מָשִׁיחַ (māšiáħ) meaning " the anointed one " or " King."
The Greek translation Χριστός (Christos) is the source of the English word Christ.
"Anointing" was common among kings of Israel. It was the sign and symbol of royalty.
The Greek title "Christ" is the translation of the Hebrew word Messiah, which in English becomes "The Anointed". The Messiah was recognized as such by his being anointed with the holy anointing oil.
So did Jesus use Marijuana?
As doubtful and controversial as the following hypothesis might first seem to the reader, I might as well boldly state my case right from the start: as a result of my research, either Jesus used marijuana / cannabis in the anointing oil or he was not the Christ by definition.
The very word "Christ", by the implication of its linguistic origins and true meaning, gives us the most profound evidence that Jesus did in fact use the same herb as his ancient semitic ancestors, and which is still used by people around the world for its enlightening and healing properties.
In addition, the ancient recipe for this anointing oil, recorded in the Old Testament book of Exodus (30: 22-23) included over nine pounds of flowering cannabis tops, Hebrew "kaneh bosm" extracted into a hind (about 6.5 litres) of olive oil, along with a variety of other herbs and spices.
The ancient chosen ones were literally drenched in this potent cannabis holy oil, some claimed to become "inspirited" and "elated" or rather "enlightened" by the Lord.
