who are your heroes?

Jimmy Page,Robert Plant,David Gilmour,Nikki Sixx,Alex Lifeson,Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, Jerry Garcia, Gene Simmons,Peter Criss,Ace Frehley,Paul Stanley...my favorite musicians as you can see...Spiderman is a great hero...also a good time to whore the movie coming out at midnight.

 

I don't believe in heroes.

 

First off i never said you should worship jesus. I think if ya love pot you should probably respect him- similar to tim leary and jerry garcia.

More importantly- facts about Jesus' marijuana use as well as the ingredients of the holy annointing oil.

Recipe: Refer to Exodus (30: 22-23) included over nine pounds (whoops i said 16) of flowering cannabis tops, referred to in many texts as the Hebrew "kaneh-bosm" or in many new Bibles as "strong cane plant" (either way a clear reference to cannabis) extracted into around 6.5 liters of olive oil, along with a variety of other herbs and spices. The chosen ones were literally drenched in this holy oil.

Honestly, if you have any interest in this topic- just check out that site, i wont waste any more space summarizing it, if you arent interested disregard it, but if you are check out that site, it has explanations for all my claims.

Next time you see the phrase "Bong hits 4 jesus" maybe you'll chuckle a bit though.

zoroaster (haha yea they were also cannabis worshippers...kind of)

and yea, ship of fools has a point. i dunno about the baptism in holy kaneh-bosem but i know that in the bible it says that solomon burned like 200 sticks of holy incense inside the temple with 100,000 people inside and then they all went and had the largest feast of the year. i'd look it up but i'm lazy. it's somewhere in the old testament. (it usually says 'sweet cane' in the english text, but it's a translation of sweet kaneh-bosem, or cannabis)

hemp oil was the #1 lamp oil used in those days, they definately had herbs growing.

in fact, the three wise men, the magi, were zoroastrians, they used cannabis in their sacred rituals. there's many more cannabis references in the christian bible, you just have to find them. it's really surprising when you figure it out, though.

 

oh, and scram is a hero also. read my sig

 

jerry garcia is my god.

King James Version (Exodus 30: 22-25): "Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, enever two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, and of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment..."

New International Version (Exodus 30: 22-26): "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant cane, 500 shekels of cassia-all according to the sanctuary shekel-and a hin of olive oil. Make these into a sacred annointing oil..."

I see no reference to Cannabis (neither to "kaneh-bosm" or "strong cane plant"). The "fragrant cane" in the New International Version could easily be anything. I COULD be cannabis, or it could be sugar cane, or it could be anything else. I don't doubt that Jesus may have used Cannabis at some point or that it references it in the bible at some point, but it doesn't seem to be in the holy oil the site refers too.

To name a few, Albert Einstein, Socrates, Jesus, Buddha, Martin Luther King Jr, Salvador Dali, etc. Anyone who tried to change this world for the better is generally on my list, as well as those who fought for human rights. Other heroes come in the form of inspiring thinkers.

 

David Ben Gurion, Golda Meir, those who participated in the various uprisings agains the Nazis in WWII, specifically those in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, my parents, God.

 

kaneh-bosem = calamus (i've also seen it calymus) = cannabis = sweet fragrant cane. same thing, different names.

it's depends on the degree of separation from the original source. in the original source, calamus is the name of the sweet, fragrant cane used for annointing purposes. it was also a major source of lamp oil and clothes and food and entertainment and commerce. this 'new international version' speaks of fragrant cane, possibly because the meaning was lost in translation, or intentionally changed to fragrant cane for obvious reasons. I picked up a book a while back on reading biblical hebrew. i plan on looking further into this. yep yep yep it's a hobby of mine.

 

i would avoid the use of th NIV as a resource, they screw up alot of the translations

 

yes they do. i would also avoid the king james version. the closer to the original source, the better.
