Ancient Shrine Reveals How Marijuana Was Used To Evoke "Religious Ecstasy" by LordReed(m): 11:05am On May 29, 2020

Scientists in Israel believe they’ve found evidence of some of the oldest, and holiest, rollers in biblical history. Deep in the inner sanctum of an 8th century BCE shrine, worshippers weren’t just burning frankincense. They were also burning marijuana.

The Tel Arad fortress is believed to be the southernmost stronghold for the Kingdom of Judah, which was formed after the death of King Solomon. When that fortress was excavated in the 1960s, scientists found evidence of a religious shrine on the northwestern edge of the site. Within that shrine, scientists found a room containing cult objects and two stone altars with a black clump of organic material carefully placed on top of each one.

Decades later, a new chemical analysis of that plant material revealed that one altar (the larger one) like contained frankincense.

Meanwhile, the smaller altar bore no evidence of myrrh nor gold. Instead, scientists found trace evidence of Δ9-teterahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN) — all chemicals that are present in marijuana.

These findings were published Wednesday in the journal Tel Aviv.


LMFAO! When people said Moses' burning bush was likely to be a weed induced episode they might have been on to something. Bwahahahahaha!

I get why almost all the myths in the bible make so much sense now, look at the story of the talking donkey, snake advising a woman to eat a certain fruit and other ridiculous stories.

So they created these myths under the influence of drugs

Well, it shouldn't come as a surprise because there was reports of idol worship during those dsys. The book of Ezekiel reports on many such practices.
