Any reference to KNH BSM in the original Hebrew (Old Testament), also transliterated as kaneh-bosm or kneh-bosm. See the Wikipedia entry for Sula Benet [1] for published research material that supports this. This term has traditionally been mistranslated as "calamus" in the English language bible, which stems from a mistranslation in the Greek Septuagint. According to Benet's research, cannabis appears in ancient Hebrew texts spelled with the Hebrew letters: "Kuph, Nun, Hé ­ Bet, Shin, Mem," translated into western alphabetic forms as ¹aneh-bosm, kaneh-bosm or kineboisin. The book of Exodus records the event of Moses receiving the instructions for making and distributing the hemp enriched holy oil, in the most auspicious tones. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of qaneh-bosm, 500 shekels of cassia--all according to the sanctuary shekel--and a hind of olive oil. Make these into a sacred anointing oil" (Exodus 30: 22-33) Kaneh is also listed as an incense tree in Song of Songs 4:14. The mistake was repeated in Isaiah 43:24, Jeremiah 6:20, and Ezekiel 27:19. The title Christ/Messiah means literally covered in oil, Anointed!

The Bible does not specifically mention marijuana as it was not known or used during biblical times. However, some interpret verses about sobriety, self-control, and avoiding substances that alter the mind to caution against the recreational use of marijuana. Ultimately, interpretations on this topic may vary among different Christian denominations.

The bible doesn't say anything about any illegal drugs. But do you think that God, your father in heaven, would want you doing that stuff? I say no.
