by Chris Bennet
The First Cultivated Crop Ancient and modern historians,
archaeologists, anthropologists and philologists all agree that cannabis is one
of mankind's oldest cultivated crops. The weaving of hemp fibre began 10,000
years ago, at approximately the same time as pottery making and prior to metal
working.

The Scythians
High Plains Drivers
by Chris Bennet
The Scythians were a barbaric
group of pre-Common Era nomadic tribes who are a fascinating example of an
ancient cannabis using group. The Scythians played a very important part in the
Ancient World from the seventh to first century BC. They were expert horsemen,
and were one of the earliest peoples to master the art of riding and using
horse-drawn covered wagons.

THE HIDDEN STORY OF CANNABIS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
 By Chris Bennet
Part 3 in a series on the
History of
Cannabis and
Human Consciousness
THEN GOD SAID, I GIVE YOU EVERY
SEED-BEARING
PLANT ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE
EARTH,
AND EVERY TREE THAT
HAS FRUIT IN IT."
GENESIS 1:29-30
Those words seem straightforward enough, and yet cannabis and most other
psychoactive medicine plants are outlawed in our society. Those who use these
plant gat eways to other states of consciousness are jailed for doing
so.

Cannabis and the Christ:
Jesus used Marijuana

Part 4 of "When Smoke Gets in my I"
a series on the history of cannabis
and human consciousness.
"If you know the truth, the truth will make you free."
(John 8:32)
Jesus used Marijuana
As doubtful as the following hypothesis might first seem to the reader, I might as well boldly state my case right from the start: either Jesus used marijuana or he was not the Christ. The very word "Christ", by the implication of its linguistic origins and true meaning, gives us the most profound evidence that Jesus did in fact use the same herb as his ancient semitic ancestors, and which is still used by people around the world for its enlightening and healing properties.
