I got a kick out of this, but as I thought about it, it would have worked. _According To Historical Research, Jesus Used Medical Marijuana To Perform “Healing Miracles”_ [Link.](https://herb.co/marijuana/news/jesus-medical-marijuana-cannabis) ---

Could Jesus have fed the 5,000 with only one ounce of Indica? Did he transform a bag of oregano into Atomic Kush? Did he cleanse the temple of people who were charging 75 shekels for a medical 420 card? ---

Forgive me, but [herb.co](http://herb.co) (have you checked out the front page of their web site? “The 5 most discreet ways to stay baked on 420”) announcing that historical documents proved that Jesus used marijuana is a bit like the NRA announcing that historical documents proved that he owned an AK-47. I’m kind of thinking I might want to see an unbiased source here. ---

Apparently it’s a (relatively modern) hypothesis for the main ingredient in “holy oil”. Hardly a good starting point for claiming it as an explanation for Jesus’ miracle healing.

I’d trust the author. He has photographic evidence of Jesus with a bong! I Googled kaneh-bosem and the first link is a page from 1996(!), while Wikipedia cites a book from 1967, so it’s not a new belief. > [@buddha\_david](#): > > Could Jesus have fed the 5,000 with only one ounce of Indica?
