Kaneh Bosm: The Hidden Story of Cannabis in the Old Testament

I smoke weed, but this is a crock of shite

too much use of the word sacred in this. cannabis is no more sacred than
anything else. i see that people must still have this ideal that cannabis
is sacred. i recall an ominous video i saw on the internet circa 2003 where
a preeminent canadian cannabis activist claimed he was going to try to
steal it from the people who had it, on the grounds that it was a mistake
that they got it. absolutely disgusting.
for what its worth i enjoy learning about the importance of cannabis in
the past, thanks.
the part of the equation that is missing, is being able to use that
knowledge of the past to better my present situation and to better the
future of cannabis, not as a sacred thing, but a thing as is anything else.
and here i find myself, against something i could not hope to challenge,
let alone defeat. a dismal situation where i must conform or become no more
than liquidity.

If you look at the Bible they talk about the fallen angels and the devil
was cast down to earth with his angels they had rebellion against God the
Almighty. They made reference that only the high priest were to use these
things back in the day. It seem to be that man got a hold of the these
psychoactive plants and began to talk to false Gods. Also known as the
fallen angels in the Bible and they began worshipping them. There is an
account in the book of Jeremiah that talks about how they were worshipping
the queen of heaven. Basically a false god and they made idols of her. God
warned them not to do this and to come back to him, or he would let them
fall to their enemies, and they did just that. They ignored his warning and
they fell victim to their own demise, as I watch this it starts of as the
Holy use of Cannabis by the high priests. Then the use and perversion of it
by mankind. It seems like it was a way in the old testament for God to talk
to his people using a priest selected by him, and anyone else using it
could fall into a deception or delusion of sorts. I have had very scary
spiritual encounters practicing meditations and not staying anchored to
Jesus and being strong in the Word. That’s why it seems that God came to
die for us that mankind has been so deceived by these things that Jesus was
the only way he could save his creation, so now instead of veneration using
a high priest and kaneh Bosem. It’s now based on Faith that God came and
died for all our sins. For all who Believe in his sacrifice for us. You
just can’t focus on just one part of the Bible. Look at the whole thing.
God talks about mankind talking to deceiving sprits and that the devil
himself is an Angel of light. The devil told Adam and Eve that they would
never die and are like Gods, same thing as Guruism. There is only one
Christ, and Jesus said this would happen. That many would come saying they
are The Christ. All these Yogi, Hindu, New Age “Gods” say this. Jesus
Christ stands alone. He is the only one salvation is offered through. God
Bless.

I know cannabis does not cause any mental illness see recent Harvard study,
I can attest it can heal mental illness. My point; politicians are saying
cannabis causes mental illness (regardless of true studies that show the
benefits of cannabis)… the church is going along with that with many
religious people calling cannabis the devils weed et al… so they are all
calling the writers of the bible insane? No shit, funny in it.

some gems in this doc … not 100% but some excellent info 

how to explain Ex.30:32 upon man’s flesh shall it NOT be poured, neither
shall ye make any other like it,after the composition of it:it is holy,and
it shall be holy unto you. any thoughts on this?

God’s reference to the herb was the tree of life the tree of knowledge and
wished for mankind to burn it eat it wear it trade with it and use it as a
sacriment while worshipping the lord our God YAWEH, Jehovah

Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-lagunga

I’m going to need to know the name of the instrumental track played
throughout this video.

Edit: Sorry it’s Hidria Spacefolk. Says so in the credits.

Just listening to them on Youtube. Damn that’s a great band. Will have to
buy some of their albums.

This documentary is full of good information. The only problem I see with
it, is that, the “average” christian will see Chris Bennet as a
non-believer, which I’m pretty sure he is… This would be MUCH, MUCH,
better done by a real christian pastor…

WOW FELLOW CHRISTIANS WHO SMOKE UP. IN WASHINGTON I HAVE TO HANG AROUND
MILITANT ATHEIST, TO ENJOY WEED CULTURE.

Great info in this video. No need for the bad house/techno music. Just gets
in the way of all the history being passed. Thanks for uploading it!

Chris Bennett dude you just blew my mind 🙂 PHENOMENAL WORK 

Mithra, Marijuana and the Myths of the Messiah Cannabis Historian Chris
Bennett takes a look at the potential references to cannabis use among the
ancient worshipers of the Persian God Mithra, who became popular in ancient
Rome and throughout a large portion of ancient Europe. Mithra was involved
with the Haoma cult of ancient Persia, and as Dr.Michael Aldrich discusses,
recent archeological evidence this ancient world sacrament was a beverage
made from cannabis and ephedra. Prof Carl Ruck and Dr. David Hillman
suggest by the time the God reached Rome, cannabis was being used as a
entheogenic incense to fumigate the cave like temples in which the worship
of Mithra took place. Mithra worship is believed to have deeply influenced
emerging Christianity in a variety of ways, particularly in regards to the
adoption of the God’s birthday December 25th in the 4th century by the
Roman Catholic Church. 

The funny thing is that calamus is also a hallucinagen. So the argument
isn’t whether the high priests used a mind opening substance, but which one
they used. The other argument is that they used galangal which is another
psycho-active substance. What were they on? At different times they used
all of them depending what aspect of God they were trying to contact at the
time.

The “plant of renown” , mentioned in (Ezekiel 34:29- And I will raise up
for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger
in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.) Later more
modern translations other than the KJV use the phrase “land of renown”.
Notice how this one particular verse of Ezekiel mentions a plant of renown
which means a famous plant followed by mentioning never bearing the shame
of the heathen anymore. If you look at some of the old articles of Harry
Anslinger, he certainly associated cannabis use with “heathen” activities.
Others also see this verse as being a reference to cannabis. I ask this,
what other plant on this globe is famous, has multiple food uses, as well
as shame associated with it ? One needs to remember that the book of
Ezekiel is a prophetical book and chapter 38 mentions the war of Gog and
Magog which has not happened yet. I see Ezekiel 34:29 in the process of
being fulfilled now with legalization as this plant of renown is being
raised up. No other plant could fit this verse. Look how the shame of being
associated with using it is being wiped away.

interesting views… explained like this everything makes sense. So
besically all our modern believes are based on trips stoners made in the
past.
Maybe I should start smoking again and write new laws for the future people
to worship :)
