Kaneh Bosm: The Hidden Story of Cannabis in the Old Testament
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Chris Bennett takes a look at the fascinating references to cannabis, under the Hebrew name 'kaneh bosm' (spelling - qoph nun he' - bet shim mem) in the Old Testament text that have been suggested by anthropologist Sula Benet and other researchers, with interviews from Prof Carl Ruck, Dr. Ethan Russo, David Hillman PhD., as well as drug historians and authors Chris Conrad, Michael Horowitz, Martin Lee, and Michael Aldrich. Included is a discussion of the linguistics behind the theory as well as a look at the references in context of the Biblical story line and the use of cannabis by the surrounding cultures who influenced the Jewish cosmology, such as the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Canaanites and Scythians.

I consider Ezekiel 34..
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.
29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
30 Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord God.
31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.
How was this missed... I will raise for them a plant of renown...? -
Beloved ...remember that Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.... which is symbolically saying Moses Law... 613 laws laid out in the first five books of Moses...

POT TV.....if you knew the bible as well as you know cannabis, you'd know the pre-Christian LXX (septuagint) is myth perpetuated by the "scholars" who have no proof whatsoever but the 5 monkeys theorem. It is morons like you and this video that are detrimental to the legalization of marijuana.

uses the Holy Bible to support his personal views. then proceeds to constantly misquote the Holy Bible to make it look like a fairy tale. Then ends it only to use The Holy Bible as authority for his intense desire to justify marijuana use, when all he had to do to justify marijuana use was read Genesis 1:29.

I love Dr Hillman! That guy looks a bit blazed 😀 I'd love to suit and chat with such a knowledgeable soul. ..

Cannabis could have easily been part of the trade from India as it's well known that Ganja has always been prevalent in India due to the Ganges and Shiva is the God who loved Cannabis. So in theory, is it possible that Shiva is the God of the old Testament as The Hindu Religion has been around since 10000 years. There's also a theory of a Shivlingum in the Kabbah.

Awesome documentary i do have a question, What evidence supports the claim that multi faced creatures in old testament visions reported by Isaiah and Ezekiel would be shamans in costumes rather than actual visions? What evidence supports any use of costumes especially animal masks in specifically ancient jewish culture? We know from the old testament that false idols/statues, specifically those in the image of animals, were forbidden. Cannabis use among these people is highly likely if not established fact at this point. but what evidence is there for specifically this type of shaman culture and ritual that might use costumes? Just wondering why this argument seemed to briefly go the direction of cannabis being the only source of spiritual experience rather than the possibility that they worked hand in hand, leaving room for the existence of both. Seems like a brief step into atheist rhetoric and/or general Bible discrediting. Correct me if im wrong. Love your work just had to question this point, thanks! -
