In Zoroastrian texts Haoma is most likely cannabis by its descriptions of a reed based plant with aromatic flowers; that causes prophecy, and poetic writings about God.

It is highly likely that the etymology of the word cannabis stems from the Bible, Kaneh Bosem in the holy anointing oil (Exodus 30:23-24)... Thus the Greek transliteration (kannabis) possibly came from there.

In Hindu texts Soma also caused poetic writings, and divine inspiration, thus is most likely cannabis.

So a couple of questions:

• Does anyone know at what period in history was the identification of this sacred plant removed from our knowledge systematically?


• Do you perceive that to truly understand the divine inspiration in its original metaphoric contexts, that our brains need to have cannabis to think normally?


• Do you realize that within a few years of legislating medical use, we're going to get a backlash of an increasing amount of schizophrenia; unless the religions take responsibility for it being a sacred shamanic plant, that allows access to spiritual connection?


• Is cannabis essential for fighting our own inner demons, like pride, arrogance, stubbornness, ego, etc?


• Have many religions developed because of the affects of cannabis, to cause poetic metaphoric writings in the first place?


• Do you realize that a Christ is someone anointed with the holy anointing oil, that contained cannabis, and that the early church (James 5:14), plus the disciples (Mark 6:13) healed with it to begin with, and thus were called Christians because of the anointing?

Love is from the Heart,
Directional and quite infectious;
Unconditionally loving is advantageous,
As the Ocean finds it courageous.

Like often in life, we only notice something is wrong when we have something to compare against; so we can only test that something is accurate, if we have a second source.

Thus are individual religions, where people almost refuse to look at additional sources purposefully, a way by the Divine to catch out the hypocrites?

Like what if all the religions help clarify each other, and only by putting all the pieces in a jigsaw puzzle together, can we hope to see the bigger picture.

Thus automatically within almost any religion, can people really be true to its values, whilst ignoring teachers of said values?

Like has each religion been given a perspective of the truth, and parts that are slightly obscured; so that only when we have made that extra step to truly see, do we notice the hypocrisy?
