Guys, the idea that the anointing oils used by the ancient Jews contain weed is basically an internet meme. There is zero physical evidence.
The logic in the source article is shocking, and it's hosted on a pro-weed website... I'm a stoner and even I call bullshit, pro weed websites are mostly just a bunch of self-important wasters with no concept of verifying their claims. They will leach on the first mention of weed and squeeze all sorts of bullshit from it. The biblical verses in "support" of the claims are also hardly relevant.
The only 'evidence' period is a potential interpretation of the word "keneh-bosm" which is disputed by most scholars of Jewish antiquity.
And it also relies on the idea that getting stoned through the skin is effective... I've been up to my forearms in resin more than once (using the ice-water method did not go as planned
), and it didn't do a thing to my state of mind.
