We are not saying Jesus depended on herbs to heal, but the facts seem to show that He did indeed utilize them. Updated 01.18.10 Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published [in 2003]. The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings. The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims. Mr Bennett suggests those anointed with the oils used by Jesus were “literally drenched in this potent mixture …. Bennet isn’t alone in his assertions… Both cannabis and calamus are fragrant, reedlike plants containing psychotropic compounds.

Schrödingers cat Schrödinger's cat: a cat, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e. a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the cat. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the cat either alive or dead, not both alive and dead. Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935.[1] It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects. Origin and motivation[edit] Real-size cat figure in the garden of Huttenstrasse 9, Zurich, where Erwin Schrödinger lived 1921 – 1926. The thought experiment[edit] Schrödinger wrote:[1][10] One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. Interpretations of the experiment[edit]

As Canada swings further and further to the right, with the help of the largely fundamentalist Christian base of the Conservative Party, I feel like some 4th century AD Gnostic or Pagan philosopher, watching with inexpressible gloom and horror as the Roman Empire fell under the spell of Catholicism, and rampaging monks burned libraries and destroyed the temples of other religions, murdering philosophers and pagans along with anyone else who did not share their limited world view. Unknown to the average Canadian, from behind the scenes, crazy Evangelicals have been working to overthrow Canadian politics in order to prepare Canada to fulfill what they see as our country's role in Biblical prophecies of the end times. And Harper is set to ensure that those dopers get straight.
Cannabis History - and GRECO-ROMAN medicine CANNABIS and WESTERN MEDICINE [500-BC - 350-AD] FORWARD: As stated elsewhere, the purpose of this historical section is not simply to repeat hear-say or what other websites are saying but to actually provide the reader with actual first hand historical sources as they relate to the use of Medical Cannabis. Unfortunately, due to a variety of factors, this is NOT always possible. To begin with, while both the Greeks and Romans were literate people, noted for writing numerous works. Still due to what now has become known as the dark ages, few of these works have come down to us today. Language Translations - From Greek to English: As one can see, the original works (those that survived at all) have seen numerous translations from their original language. THEOPHRASTUS (287 - 371 B.C.), provides a good example of this problem. All fine and well, but what did he write down about Medical Cannabis? ". .
