9 Clues That Jesus Used Cannabis
While it’s impossible to prove beyond all doubt that cannabis played a part in Jesus’s life, there are some pretty interesting clues.
4. Christ Means “Anointed One”
This next clue builds directly off the last one. Later on in his life, Jesus was known as Jesus Christ. And although it’s easy to assume that Christ was his last name, it’s actually a religious title. Christ means “the anointed one.” As in, anointed or blessed with sacred anointing oil. So let’s connect the dots.
If ancient Jews were using cannabis oil in their religious rites, and if Jesus was given the title of “anointed one,” then it’s likely that Jesus was anointed with cannabis oil. That could have been his first serious interaction with weed. And that would also mean that Jesus was immersed in a culture where spirituality and cannabis were closely linked.
It all comes down to that pesky word “kaneh-bosm.” If Benet is right, and it means cannabis, then it seems very probable that Jesus was familiar with sacred weed oil.
