Jesus Was A Junkie
Jesus, if he existed at all, was almost certainly a junkie. Cannabis was widely used in Judaic rituals of that period. Primarily, it was absorbed through the skin in the form of oil. Early christians smeared themselves in cannabis oil as part of their religious ceremonies. Most likely, this is where their apparent religious visions came from. All of this has been confirmed by serious scholars such as Carl Ruck at Boston university. In fact, the name Christ means "the anointed one" so it may be through his practice of drenching himself in cannabis oil that Jesus got his name.

Most likely not cannabis, but some hallucinogenic plant, herb, brew or the like, was used to induce the trances and visions apparently attained by Jesus and those of his era.

And I love the 'arguments' presented against your view. Only opposition, nothing to actually add to the debate.

It's a possibility Hidell, and, if indeed your sources are correct, some people are going to have some difficulty in denying it. Could you give me a site that details this evidence, purely out of my own curiosity? Haha, the Anointed One, anointed in weed more like.

No he wasn't (I'm not defending him) because he didn't exist

Just because Jesus was anointed in Cannabis Oil when He was back East with the Gnostics, doesn't make him a junkie!

I never read that He had a bong, LOL!

But I can see why the Gnostic Gospels were eliminated from the "final text".

Especially that part about the "Kingdom of God" being "within you" (meaning all of us), by St. Thomas.

Using a little grass is a far cry from being a junkie.

This is a stretch at best. And Jesus did exist.

 You're remarkably close-minded for someone who claims to love debate.
