Was there weed in the Garden of Eden?
While I do not buy Genesis' account of the Creation of the universe, I would like to know what you think about my question: Was there cannabis sativa (marijuana) in the alleged Garden of Eden? If there was, did Adam and Eve have to roll it themselves or was it all ready? Did they have a dealer?

If you are going to suggest that Adam and Eve ate the fruit because they had a serious case of the munchies, then I would have to say yes. Yes there was.

Actually, maybe the serpent was the dealer.

I am discontent with the subject being moved to this forum because no one is responding to it anymore.

Umm, notice that no one had responded in almost thirteen hours before CX moved it...
 Some topics just have short lifespans.

There's actually a Net Messiah--Dore Williamson--some of you guys may have heard of her on Usenet--who believes that Cannibis was the "Tree of the knowledge of Good and evil".

Well, there is that bit in Genesis about God putting *all* plants on Earth for man's usage. However, I suspect Adam and Eve had to eat it raw as cooking wasn't invented yet, and were forced to groove to birds chirping as The Grateful Dead wasn't invented yet either.
