If you have listened to the My Family Thinks I’m Crazy podcast then you may have noticed I am somewhat of a Stoner. I think Cannabis was instrumental in facilitating a higher awareness and capacity for knowledge as well as a heightened intuition in myself. Personal and subjective experience aside, there is historical precedence for Cannabis being associated with higher states of consciousness as it pertains to learning and intelligence. on February 21st we will be interviewing Author and Researcher, Chris Bennett. I have owned a copy of his book Liber 420 for a couple years and it is an honor to now have the opportunity to interview Mr. Bennett. Below I will compile pieces of information relevant to my upcoming discussion with Chris Bennett.

“We can assume that the fragrance of the frankincense gave a special ambience to the cult in the shrine, while the cannabis burning brought at least some of the priests and worshippers to a religious state of consciousness, or ecstasy,” Arie said. “It is logical to assume that this was an important part of the ceremonies that took place in this shrine.”

“The new evidence from Arad show for the first time that the official cult of Judah—at least during the 8th century B.C.—involved hallucinogenic ingredients. We can assume that the religious altered state of consciousness in this shrine was an important part of the ceremonies that took place here,” he said.
