Tell me this: Are we really supposed to entertain the notion that only Judaism and Christianity were the only two religions on Planet Earth that did not have any connection with psychoactive flora and entheogens? A cursory examination of both religions reveals that they contain OPEN references to drugs.

When you look on the internet you can easily find fringe scholarship on Drugs and Religion. These websites and their knowledge are free. There is absolutely no reason to open your wallet or purse to buy books like “La Torah Hachem” by “Isaac Ben Jacob” that completely skip the subject matter of drugs and religion.

As I have explained may times before in several articles, mainstream anthropologists and mainstream historians never associate the use of drugs with Sumeria, Akkadia, Babylon, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and other ancient Mediterranean Civilizations because this might encroach upon Judaism and Christianity – but guess what, there are plenty of people who already know – and there is no need for them to become the dupes of dogmatic scholarship. Two facts become simultaneously found out:

1) the existence of drugs in priestly rituals in the ancient world of the Mediterranean.
2) this automatically gets hushed up just in case it might encroach upon Judaism and Christianity.

Guess what – the religious fundamentalists of today need educating because they are all miserably ignorant. It’s as simple as that. In the UK we have several Evangelical digital channels that are truly hilarious in nature (TBN UK is the primary evangelical and Christian television network that is broadcast on Freeview, typically found on channel 65 or 66. Other evangelical or faith-based channels available via connected Freeview HD devices include Revelation TV, channel 264/266; and GOD TV; channel 267).

The world is insane enough already – there is absolutely no need to protect people!

I wish I knew what I know now from a very early age – it would have saved me a lot of wasted time. This information needs to be given universally to all people from the get-go in life and not to be kept secret – especially when it’s extremely likely that this was all common knowledge in the ancient world! What does that sound like!

Noah was the first person explicitly mentioned in the Torah to plant a vineyard, step into the role of a winemaker, and experience intoxication. In Jewish thought, wine can be a sam hachaim (an elixir of life) when used in moderation for sacred moments. Wine did not simply mean “grape juice” in the ancient world.
