For years, marijuana smokers have been sneered at by religious believers and labeled as pot heads, but now at least they can say they are following the example of Jesus. A recent archeological expedition to Israel uncovered scrolls that appear to depict the story of Jesus crucifixion. On one of the scrolls is a sketch that shows a man, thought to be Jesus, smoking from a pipe. Below the drawing is the Hebrew word "kineboisin", which translates to cannabis.
Dr. Isaac Cohen, president of the South Israel Archaeological Society, believes that this is an extremely significant discovery for the theological community. He described the discovery as a finding that could change the way many perceive the world. Cannabis is known to have been smoked thousands of years before Jesus time, but this is the first evidence to show that Jesus himself may have used the plant.]

(39,343 posts)Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic foods.
He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes.
Long hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends.
Reckon they'd just nail him up if He come down again.
'Cos everybody's got to have somebody to look down on.
Who they can feel better than at anytime they please.
Someone doin' somethin' dirty, decent folks can frown on.
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me.
