Default Would Jesus have smoked Cannabis?

If it grew in the Middle East, would Jesus have celebrated it as one of God's gifts to Mankind?

Jesus used Cannabis - the classic thread.

There is no evidence that cannabis was smoked in those days - no rolling papers? - but the theory is that it was an ingredient in the holy oil used to annoint kings.

I read a book once by some musical fellow, and he claimed that it was all down to mushrooms!

If he did smoke, he wouldn't have been such an asshole. no energy!
Anyway, on what planet does anyone walk into a church and throw s**t everywhere, unless they are under the influence.
I reckon he was an alcoholic delusional.

So, the question boils down to this:

Would JC have preferred the "head high" of Sativa or "body high" of Indica?

Inquiring minds want to know ...

This thread might be a better fit in some other forum, I think. We have standards here.
