Just doing what Jesus would have,

~Mike

cool..

that oil thing actually sounds interesting

as for Jesus.. i beleive i saw him touring with the Grateful Dead in the 80's

thats an interesting point of view. ive heard this before, but getting high off the oils of cannibus rubbed on skin? this could blow the top off of stonerdom! just mix with hand lotion or something and get fucked up? ive heard of getting high on acid by applying it to the skin and using a light tourniquet (sp?).

Hmm....ive head stories about Jimi Hendrix putting acid in his headbands when he played and his head like absorbed it. interesting.....

::goes out and buys acid and headbands::

Damn Straight!

Tell me...

What Would Jesus Do?

hey, did you guys know jesus was gay?

Fucking potheads. Seriously, how could they think that Jesus was a pothead? And furthermore, how could they prove it? They can't. It's a bunch of stupid little potheads who want some fucking attention.

Use it, but don't glorify it.

They'd prove it the same way they 'prove' anything in the bible. They analyze scripture and come to a conclusion about what it means.

And you realize that the only reason you see this as negative is because you have been taught into thinking pot is bad and anyone who does it is a loser. WRONG! Pot is 'bad' because of many things that happened over the course of the last century. Pretty much, people took it upon themselves to use some of the most amazing propaganda tactics you could think of to get people to hate pot. This was back in the 30's.

Back in biblical times do you think anyone thought of weed as some horrible drug that ruind peoples lives? NO! People didn't have mass media to throw bullshit at them back then, so all they saw it as was a tool. Something God put on the earth for them to use.

So why do you think its so bad that Jesus might have used pot to heal? Im pretty sure that if Jesus came across some pot he'd know exactly what it is, and he'd know that it was put on the earth by God for us to use. Why else would God put it there? Why would God put something on the earth, with the ability to help people in many different ways if he didn't expect us to use it? Logically, it would be stupid for Jesus [i]not to have used pot to heal. If it can help with things, and he knows it can help, he'd be stupid not to use it.

Its all a matter of perception. Im sure your mommy and daddy tell you how you'll become a heroine addict if you ever smoke pot, but I think God knew what he was doing when he put it here. I also think anyone who uses pot to help them through life, be it to cure something, help with pain, or whatever they need help with that pot can give, is smart. And that would include Jesus if he did use it, which I never doubted he did [Im sure he used a lot of these 'awful drugs' to help people, if he existed that is].

Oh, and as for this being 'a bunch of stupid little potheads who want some fucking attention', you should probably pull your head out of your ass. Just because this was an article in High Times doesn't mean it was researched by pot heads. Bible thumpers have been researching and looking into thigns like this for a LONG time, and they're the ones who come to the conclusions. SO if you don't like that people are claiming Jesus used pot to heal people go take it up with the bible thumpers who discovered this, not the pot heads who put it in their magazine.

Read 'revelation to john'(the last chapter of the bible), then try to convince me the author wasn't on drugs.

Jesus was a pothead, his robe was made out of hemp, the first bibles were made out of hemp, it's even mentioned in the bible.

Smoke one nigga!

Something more detailed with quotes from the bible. (http://www.cannabisculture.com/backissues/cc11/christ.html)

Hey, the entire Vedic Texts were writen under the influence of drugs.. well kinda, they smoked it, then told their decendants then they wrote it all down.......

Anyway, its all the same really.

And you're telling me that the new testamet's above all this? Pshhhhh

Just playing devil's advocate here, but why did God put heroin on the Earth then?

Under the hypothetical god exists and created the universe-he didn't create heroin, he created opium and our human ingenuity refined it into heroin. Opium itself isn't too bad, being as we use poppy seeds for fucking muffins, refined opiates, however, can be horrible if one does them on even a semi-regular basis.

Hexadecimal is right. We created heroine, God created opium. However, even if one wants to argue that God created heoine, once again it falls into our own perception. Heroine is only 'bad' because there are so many people who have gotten hooked and fucked up their lives, so obviously our society doesn't look at heroine to highly. HOWEVER< that doesn't change the fact that it does its job as a pain killer and can have quite positive uses in that field. People who suffer from extreme pain can get help from heroine [and many other strong opiates for that matter].

Its not about what we have, its how we use it. And we tend to use a lot of things in an irresponsible manner.

The Creator didn't just create what occurs in nature without man's intervention, but also what exists with it. As well as creations from other sources of intervention, such as humanity itself.

I don't so much agree with that, but it doesn't change the fact that he did create Marijuana.

And I'm sure soemone wants to argue that if God created everything [which I don't agree with] that means that some of the things he created are bad, and pot can be included on that list of bad things. However, to that I would responde that no item is bad. A gun isn't bad, a knife isn't bad, pure cyanide isn't bad, nor are fluffy cotton balls. However any of these items can be used in a bad way, and some are more often used in a bad way so we label them as bad. Thats our own stupidity, an inanimate object is neithy good nor bad, we place labels on things based on how we CHOOSE to use them, and our choices are in no way a reflection of God intentions.

Just incase anyone was htinking about that!

I'm high right now.

I've been high while reading this entire thread.

Through all the arguments, ideas and discussions, there was but one solid thought that remained in the back of my head... "What WOULD pot and oil be like?"
