The advocacy for the legalization of marijuana, popularly called wee in Ghana has seen bizarre theories been created to facilitate its assimilation into our system.
A new report we stumbled online reads:
A controversial historian and author identified as David Bienenstock is going viral after revealing claims that Jesus Christ might have used cannabis oil to perform healing miracles.
The man claimed this might have been possible because cannabis was widely available across Middle East 2,000 years ago. He added that people during that era used the oil to treat the sick and perform other form of miracles.
As part of the healing ingredients used for the oil, Bienenstock added that kanehbosem was among the ingredients used. He added that kanehbosem is a cannabis extract which when absorbed into the skin, helps cure several physical and mental illness.
Speaking with Daily Star, he said: “Historical records show that cannabis was widely available at the time they would’ve known how to grow it and exploit its medicinal properties.
There is nothing different in the efficacious cannabis oil used today that wouldn’t have been available to people in Jesus’ time it’s simply a matter of concentrating the cannabis into the oil and absorbing it through the skin.
The medical use of cannabis during that time is supported by archaeological records. Someone of the religious mindset from that time, not understanding the scientific underpinning of how or why it works, would be likely to view that as a miracle.”
It was further reported that according to the Hebrew version, the holy oil recipe in Exodus contained about three kilos of an unidentified herb which was later revealed as keneh-bosum.
