    The gospel of Thomas is from the late 2nd century, you’re misrepresenting the Bible, the last book in the Bible was written about 85+ years before the Gospel of Thomas was written and this gnostic false gospel was written long after the death of Thomas, hence why it’s not part of the Biblical canon

    Roman Catholicism, was from the get go, a cynical power trip, taking all the best bits from the Bible to brainwash the masses, whilst keeping secrets and hoarding knowledge, to maintain power grip over people. The bit they casually neglect is that Jesus, was a free man. He would not be bound by state laws, only the laws that were self evidently true, like the 10 commandments. Ironically (or not) the Roman Catholic States, break or broke ALL of the 10 commandments at one time or another. Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not use Lords name in vane. etc. Why do you think he was crucified by…. the Roman state? He pointed out the emperor has no clothes.

    Speechless…

    Man, modern studies have made this 7 year old video pretty dated. With how extensively it’s used (and abused) they are finding hosts of problems like heart strain, permanent memory damage, and links to schizophrenia…but damn it makes me feel relaxed.

    I’ve been smoking herb since the age of six and I’m 47 now I only was able to get Zah buds 8 years ago after meeting my neighbor who is my best friend today and also helps me with other things like a brother. I’m planning to go to school to study herbs closer and find medicinal uses for marijuana and other herbs as well it wasn’t an option to go to school for pot when I was in high school in the early 90s. JAH bless you all

    Been making my own green dragon for 50 years now. It truly is a gift from nature. Pain relief without the constipation codine gives you.

    Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet “calamus” two hundred and fifty shekels

    The epiphany was, the oil appeared to treat people, because they believed the oil to be holy and capable of healing,
    but the power was always within you, you just didnt believe it to be true. The oil allows people to see they have the power to heal themselves. Hence cures the sick and blind.

    Why they using the leaf instead of the flower?

    My mother would tell me that weed grew wild, in the ditches and the cows would eat if you let them. Growing up in Saskatchewan what an experience.

    You eat food, but do you eat 24 years? No, you eat 3 to 4 times a day, but they say just do one thing except your daily responsibility, and that’s why they say you are an addict, but if you do your daily chores, then it becomes medicine. So beggars become politicians. Vote them. Of course, money is honey, right?

    Really cool, but please be careful when using alphabets you don’t know; I cannot stress how painful it was to read how you wrote cannabizin in greek

    God wouldn’t create canibis without value it was created for a reason

    “Did Jesus use cannabis?” I don’t know, did Ganesh smoke cannabis? How about leprechauns?

  25. @Renaultforum on September 11, 2025 at 4:40 pm

    I must say. An excellent expose, so much research! Thank you indeed!

    Good info. But annoying narrative voice and music…

    people in Oregon were targeted for using it

  30. @brendanhoffmann8402 on September 11, 2025 at 4:46 pm

    Weed is a great anxiolytic for me but I think its use has run its course. I’m pretty much cured now and need to learn to stand on my own. It just makes me feel disconnected from my body now, numb and apathetic. My house is a disaster too, need to get sober and clean up my life.

  31. @ScottRichley on September 11, 2025 at 4:51 pm

    Should be mandatory teaching of knowledge for all students…just a thought…🙃🌻☀️.

    this was designed to watch while you’re high

  33. @tensevo on September 11, 2025 at 4:52 pm

    I am constantly reminded, to be even semi-enlightened in a world of savagery and warfare,
    is to be deemed a crime.
    If you are too far ahead of your time, you will be persecuted in one way or another.
    We are travelers from the end of time, we find ourselves in the dark ages of historic oppression. Break free. It’s ALL an illusion. Your chains are an illusion.

    I knew Jesus smoked weed. My boy. Blazing with JC

    " For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book :
    if anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are
    written in this book ; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book
    of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the ‘ Book of Life ‘ from
    the Holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. "

    Be careful, don’t be Grandiose, don’t Blaspheme, and always think before you speak. ✔

    Smoking a few blunt of THC-A enjoying this amazing video my fav part was about buddy taking a nap then “waking up to the smell to then taste its leaves” that was wholesome

    A true hypocrite is someone strung out physically addicted to the psychoactive drug caffeine that needs a fix every day just to function properly talking negative about weed … Weed isn’t physically addictive and it’s been used safely by mankind for thousands of years .

    I discovered marijuana very late in life. The draw for me was the feelings of timelessness. The visions of places and architecture that I never remembered up to this point. Are they just old memories in this life or past life memories. I don’t know but I’m really enjoying the ride.

  45. @georgepbriles696 on September 11, 2025 at 5:10 pm

    It goes back to Sumerian Stone!… Translated into English as spice, the ruling elites at the time were trying to take it away from the anunnaki workers in the times mentioned of in the Sumerian tablets… We figure this is certainly talking about marijuana or poppy and being as how it would help the workers get through grueling work it most certainly was marijuana!… It had to be!… Combine that with the fact that it’s still being taken away from us even now at this time well there you have it right!

  46. @kester1time on September 11, 2025 at 5:10 pm

    Thanks for a great documentary showing how societies form using that which nature provides. Some societies sought to dominate other societies, introducing mechanisms.
    Soon these machines learn to feed themselves. Even eating the society that produced them!
    Now it’s become the most heartbreaking story ever known.
    -We people, as individuals, must seek out the one Great reason.
    -Each of us possess the Buddha Nature, without discrimination.
    -Reveal the truth to which all Buddhas became enlightened.
    -sing, NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO, repeat, alone, with others, repeat and reveal.

    "Keneh Bosm" is a Hebrew term meaning "aromatic cane" or "sweet cane," referencing a fragrant plant or substance mentioned in biblical contexts. Its precise botanical identity remains uncertain, with various interpretations suggesting it could be a type of reed, aromatic plant, or resin.
