Yeah, Cannabis Christians. This just shows you can pin anything to Jesus myth and it will stick. Like, can you disprove this? No. Just like you can't disprove that Jesus wasn't an alien or god or guru or whatever.
Was Cannabis The Secret To Jesus' Healing Miracles? Study Uncovers Ancient Remedies
Jesus Christ and his apostles could have used a cannabis-based anointing oil to help heal people with disabling diseases. A study exploring biblical texts has sparked a provocative discussion about the potential use of cannabis in ancient religious practices, specifically those associated with Jesus and his disciples. This research indicates that cannabis was likely a key ingredient in the anointing oils used during biblical times, supporting claims that Jesus may have utilized the plant for its medicinal properties.
The research posits that the anointing oils not only played a ceremonial role but also served practical healing purposes. Bennett argued that those anointed with these oils were "literally drenched in this potent mixture." While many contemporary cannabis users prefer smoking or ingesting the plant, the ancient method of oil infusion allowed for absorption through the skin, potentially enhancing its therapeutic effects.
Bennett drew connections between these practices and the healing miracles attributed to Jesus in the Gospels, particularly those involving skin and eye diseases. "If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil, and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ," he concluded.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
