This month's delectable cover comes to us from Santa Barbara, CA-based illustrator Daniel Sulzberg, whose stunningly layered and surreal work has been published around the world by The New York Times, Nike, Red Bull and many more. Leaf Creative Director Daniel Berman and Chief Operating Officer Tom Bowers worked closely with Sulzberg to craft this Wonka-like spin on Santa's workshop, complete with stoned elves and red-eyed gummy worms. This month, we hope you take a moment to enjoy some wonderful local Cannabis edibles, dive into this special issue, and take a much needed break!

Editor’s Note Thanks for picking up The Edibles Issue of Alaska Leaf! Edibles are packed full of holiday spirit in the form of cannabinoids and terpenes, which is the perfect way to float through the holidaze without a hangover. How do you think Santa does it, after all? Lot’s of infused 7 reindeer feed and cookies baked with love and weed! All joking aside, as I head into the holiday season abstaining from alcohol, I find fresh gratitude for Cannabis in all shapes and sizes. When heading to shop, or “THE BENEFIT worrying about menus or travel, CBD can really lower anxiety – I FIND BY great for everyday life or if you find yourself experiencing too CHOOSING high of a THC dose. Have you ever white knuckled a 200mg THC CANNABIS trip to Costco? It can get a little sketchy! Overall, the benefit I INSTEAD OF find by choosing Cannabis instead of alcohol is the freedom to ALCOHOL IS THE FREEDOM TO LIVE live in the moment without letting the high-strung nature of the IN THE MOMENT, holidays get to me.

That’s the biggest gift I am giving to my daughters and family this year: The gift of sobriety, and the lessons that come with handling stressful situations and celebrations (often one in the same) without turning to alcohol. With teenagers in the house, I do have to be discreet – which is where the edibles really help bring the buzz that makes the holidays so merry and bright. When I started the first Leaf in 2010, edibles were untested, often over or under infused, and generally left an untrustworthy taste lingering in your mouth. Today’s stoners have so many options it’s dizzying, with drinks and chocolates and baked goods to tease the palate, and tinctures and formulas for sleep or stress for those needing rest. We live in a wonderful time for plant medicine, literally blooming with options and lighting a new way of wellness forward – without the pharmaceuticals and booze automatically baked into the situation. But we do look forward to baking ourselves to the perfect 420º this holiday season and we hope you’ll join in the festivities … just make sure you wrap the presents first.

special lady With multiple Leaf Bowl awards under their belt, it’s true to say that Lady Gray’s impact on the edibles market place has been huge. From the innovative drinks to their new gummy lineup, there's an edible for everyone on this menu. We sat down with a few new products and a couple classics for an updated review, starting with the Cinnamon Roll Buttermints. Soft and chewy with a taste reminiscent of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, these micro-dosed bites have about 1.5mg of THC and CBD per piece – so you can dial in the buzz, or eat the whole container!
Lady Gray stands out as an Alaskan brand that puts quality ingredients first, which is why their edibles taste so good!
New to the lineup this year is a fresh set of gummies that have no artificial colors or flavors. These gluten and soy free gummies come in two blends: Sunshine Citrus and Goodnight Berry. Both are infused with full spectrum cannabinoids and come in either indica or sativa version. The Citrus gummies are bright and fresh with a sativa kick that’s perfect for powering through a day. The Goodnight Berry blend brings relaxing vibes and a sweet-berry bite that we loved pairing with a melatonin gummy for a restful night's sleep. When it comes to drinks, Lady Gray is the OG with their High Tea blends. The Raspberry is brewed with organic black tea and sweetened lightly with or-

ganic sugar – coming in daytime, nighttime or anytime blends for your desired effect. We love this stoner version of a classic tea that’s great for sharing with friends, or sipping solo. As a writer who has chosen to abstain from alcohol, I was most excited about the nano emulsified High Margarita. This tasty and terpy marg comes in Mango and is the best way to hit island time, anytime! With no artificial ingredients and full spectrum extract, it’s tasty, healthy and packs a serious punch. So as we hit the holidays, consider skipping the booze and spicing up sober happy hour with this festive and flavorful alternative!

Tundra Brewing is on a mission to deliver infused drinks to the Alaskan marketplace that are always yummy on their own … but also perfect for mixing up a Cannabis mocktail to bring on the holiday spirit. dec. 2023

TUNDRABREWINGAK.COM @TUNDRABREWINGALASKA
Americans are ditching booze and turning to Cannabis in record numbers, and up here in the Last Frontier, there’s no easier way to make such a swap than to pick up one of the delicious offerings from Tundra Brewing – a Leaf Bowl 2023 award winner known for nano emulsification, resulting in drinks that hit hard and fast. With a wide variety of flavors and the sweet and simple slogan of “Drink your Weed,” feeling festive is as easy as poppin’ a bottle. We started with the Blueberry Mojito, which we mixed with a Sprite to make a fizzy-berry mocktail that tingled the senses and delivered a potent buzz. We had the pleasure of mixing a few flavors over multiple visits to the Pakalolo Lounge and Tasting Room in Fairbanks last month, where we discovered that mixing any Tundra Brewing flavor with a fizzy soda or seltzer water takes them to the next level. The Pomegranate and Orange is tart and sharp with a kiss of citrus sweetness, while the Strawberry Mango turns the juice loose to the funky moose when mixed in with a fresh glass of POG or OJ. The potent effects delivered from the fast-acting nano emulsification made happy hour seem more like a full-day buzz. And speaking of happiness, we experienced significant levels of joy when first sampling the new Happy Apple flavor! It’s a delicious blend that tastes like apple cider and apple juice had an infused love child, and is a true palate-pleaser when mixed with a store-bought Martinelli's cider – resulting in a bubbly glassful of cheer that’s a heady and healthy way to ring in the New Year!

no secret! leafmagazines.com
The secret is out that there are sweet treats coming from Anchorage’s only dispensary with smellovision for the grow that’s visible from the lobby!
We featured Secret Garden in last month’s Harvest Issue, which you can find online at leafmagazines.com and read about the company’s commitment to community building, helping those in need, and producing consistent top shelf Cannabis products for their customers. With a full lineup of in-house edibles – including baked goods like this writer's favorite, Snickerdoodles – we decided to shine some light on their gummy lineup. With a classic O-shape and a light frosting of sugar, the Garden Gummies are a simple and tasty way to get an edible buzz on. We love the Blueberry flavor that tastes like a fresh berry, leaving us floating like the Blueberry Girl in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Our favorite is still the variety pack, with the blend of colors and flavors that makes each bite an adventure. Regardless of what wintry excursions or headspace escapes you have in mind for the holidaze, one (or more) of the high quality offerings from Secret Garden is sure to be a perfect fit.

GOOD has been making great edibles in their Fairbanks-based kitchen for years, and their new lineup of gummies promises fast-acting effects and nighttime relief that highlight the wide range of benefits Cannabis brings to the table.
jolly good time
There’s nothing more frustrating than struggling to fall asleep. And while pharmaceuticals are widely prescribed, they are not a good option for long-term sleep relief. Luckily for us there’s CBN – a cannabinoid that helps with restful sleep and acts as a sedative. It also helps boost the immune system and decreases inflammation, so it helps your body heal itself during rest. The 2:1:1 blend includes THC, CBD and CBN, which fully engages your endocannabinoid system for maximum effects. We found that the slightly sweet and tart cherry paired perfectly with our melatonin gummies before bed, and loved the flavor combo that came from a yummy lemon gummy with a cup of chamomile tea. If sleep is your need, look no further than these new gummy formulations. Also new at GOOD is the Fast Acting Time Infusion, which helps these pure fruit juice gummies really put the pedal to the metal. We loved the soft, chewy consistency and quick meltaway of the Grape – reminiscent of a grape juice box flavor and bringing fast-acting, long-lasting effects. With new technology and fresh formulations, it's a fantastic time to check out the always tasty lineup of gummies from GOOD!

WINNING Experience the freshest hit of Alaskan Cannabis with the new lineup of solventless concentrates from Arctic Ice Extracts.
Growing Cannabis and making hash is a true labor of love and there is no greater expression of this passion than the solventless hash rosin movement. To make real-deal rosin, first the plant has to be grown, fresh frozen and turned into ice water bubble hash. Once the bubble hash has been hand stirred and washed in bubble bags at freezing temperatures, it is then kept frozen and stored in cheesecloth-style rosin bags. From there, it’s squished under immense pressure between heated plates – forcing out a pure solventless extract that drips from the plates like liquid dabbable gold. To sum it up: Rosin is truly the tastiest solvent-free concentrate that you can hope to dab, but it’s also a low-yielding and high-labor process that carries a top-shelf price tag, and requires dedication to bring to market. That’s where Tony Delarm and Drew White (@ herbobaggins) come in – having put in the time and effort to grow strains that produce enough resin to wash into hash. And for that, we thank them! Starting with the Arctic Rush, a super-high terpene, golden and sappy rosin that oozes with sour-citrus gas and a funky, fermented apples and Kush finish. First low-temp inhales are rich and earthy, with a sharp and fuelly tang Featured products, L-R: that rushes a cerebral buzz Sunrise Surprise Cartridge into the frontal lobes – filling 71.08% THC, 6.88% Terpenes the mind with a euphoric enGarlic Alchemist Cold Cure Rosin ergy that’s great for daytime 68.36% THC, 4.26% Terpenes activities. Face Blaster Live Rosin Cartridge What goes up must come 73.92% THC, 8.97% Terpenes down, so we shifted to the Arctic Rush Live Rosin Cold Cure Rosin Garlic Alchemist to wrap us 70.36% THC, 8.89% Terpenes up in a big stoney blanket of sour, funky gas. This strain smells like a lemon and garlic clove were left together in a bag, fermenting and ripening into a powerful funk that can fill a room with delicious garlic terps. Stoney and heavy, this strain slows the mind and puts consciousness in the moment – peering through a blazed veil of warm and fuzzies that’s a perfect daytime escape or end-of-day relaxer. Next we dove into the rosin carts, which are known for delivering a full-plant experience and heavy effects. The Sunrise Surprise provides a super smooth hit, filling the lungs with a floral and fruity gas with a terpy tingle of the nose on exhale. Immediately uplifting and euphoric, this is a delicious on-the-go cart that delivers the full effects of a dab. Finishing with the Face Blaster sounded dirty, so we had to go out with a bang! This raw and sour gas tastes of rubber, garlic and Gorilla Glue in a sour lover's delight. Each funky hit builds a heavy high that turns the body into a puddle of Silly Putty, relaxed and dazed with thoughts of food and blankets. Perfect for hibernating and chilling, the Face Blaster and the full lineup of solventless products from Arctic Ice Extracts will keep you high as the temperatures go low this winter. @arcticiceextracts

GUAVA
dec. 2023
ERRY CULTIVATED BY HIGH NORTH THE SCENTS EMANATING FROM THE PERFECTLY CURED BUDS WERE A STRONG INDICATOR OF THE EUPHORIA TO COME.
High North’s flower is regularly found atop my must-smoke list. Considering I’m a soil enthusiast, this is a high compliment to the company’s coco-grown Cannabis. And believe me, from the first whiff of their new strain Strawberry Guava, my commitment to consuming as much of their Cannabis as possible has only been amplified. LOCATED IN the Matanuska Valley and well-known for pheno hunting select cultivars, High North produces some of the most consistent Cannabis on the Alaskan market. Jason, one of the company’s owners, expressed that the team is always aiming to provide customers with euphoric highs and cannabinoid profiles they can count on – alongside a thoughtfully curated variety of strains (currently over 108) that bring innovation and fresh genetics to store shelves. It’s a balancing act that the close-knit group of friends who started High North execute extremely well, where living the dream of cultivating legal weed in the Last Frontier continues to fuel their fire for producing fire. With winter officially setting its hooks into Alaska, sitting down to enjoy the Strawberry Guava with a friend by a warm fire was a lovely way to spend a snowy afternoon. Bringing a classic aromatic combo of humulene and caryophyllene with light touches of limonene and bisabolol, the scents emanating from the perfectly cured buds were a strong indicator of the euphoria to come. A few hits from my Jane West bong and we were riding waves of smooth inhales and exhales that splashed warm and energetic vibes throughout the room, without a care to the blustery reality outside. Regardless of your holiday plans for this oh-so-snowy season, consider warming your bones with a strain from High North next time you’re at your local dispensary. From a stocking stuffer to a personal puffer, they have your weed needs covered.

Advice for optimizing the edible experience. For the first timer… Go slow! You can always eat more, but never less. Start with a single serving of 5-10mg, wait a couple hours, and enjoy the feeling. Pay attention to how your body reacts and remember: One plus one, doesn’t equal two. Everybody reacts differently to servings, and you might feel great at 10mg and feel sick and out of control at 20mg. So take it easy, start slow, and build a tolerance and dosage range that works for you over time. What’s a serving size? How do I decide dosage? Looking at the label on an edible might seem confusing, but there are a few simple tricks to figuring it all out. The two most important things to note are the serving size and total cannabinoids/potency. Most states define a serving as either 5mg or 10mg of THC. Potency will always be based on milligrams. The total potency could be 50mg or 100mg, depending on regulations, but it could also be as high as 1,000+ milligrams if it’s a tincture or high-strength option. Reading this and knowing your dosage is the difference between a fun time and a neverending rollercoaster of THC. For most people, eating a single serving is going to be perfect. People with low tolerances might find medicinal relief at just two or three milligrams, but a sweet space seems to be 10mg. Once you feel comfortable there, explore by adding a serving per edible experience so you can expand your comfortability zone. It’s also common to have a personal range when it comes to dosing. For this writer, 1020mg is a daily relaxer and anti-anxiety tool, 50mg does the trick for pain but makes it hard to focus, and 100mg is a full-blown, drooly edible trip. But this is just me – I’ve seen people eat 250mg and reach for the next cookie. So take it slow and find your sweet spot when it comes to dosage … you’ll have fun and feel great! Can I overdose on edibles? Here’s the good news about eating too much THC: You can’t die! The only way edibles could kill you is if a loaded crate of them fell on your head in a tragic weed warehouse accident. But that’s where the good news ends. Do you remember the first time you got too drunk? Most of us have at least a few college-age, puking-in-random-places memories that we’d like to forget. That said, consuming too much THC or other cannabinoids can result in serious discomfort similar to alcohol overconsumption, with symptoms including nausea/ puking, paranoia and the spins. In extreme

THIS INFUSED LIFE
This holiday season, get ready to fly as high as a reindeer with our annual Edibles Issue! To avoid crashing and burning like Rudolph after a long night of whatever keeps his nose so red, check out our edibles advice for living your best infused life. While most of this information is for new consumers, it’s always great to get a refresher course – and to keep sharing with friends and family before embarking on a journey into the holidaze. situations, the high level of psychoactive effects can lead to crazed behavior. The only cure for over consumption is time and water, which is why you should avoid wasting a medical professional’s time at a hospital getting fluids and a large bill. If you or a friend end up too high, grab the Gatorade and a weighted blanket, and plan to sit it out. This might mean silence and darkness or putting on a favorite movie – but rest assured that it will pass and once you fall asleep, you’ll be on your way to a fresh start the next day. The Edible Hangover While edibles are much safer than alcohol, they can still cause a hangover that can be incredibly unpleasant. Imagine being stuck in a sort of mental quicksand and having every movement slowed down 30%, while feeling like the dehydrated SpongeBob that tried to hang out in Sandy’s air environment. Like a fish out of water, eating too much can leave you gasping … and
there’s not a lot to help but coffee and fluids. Our best advice to prevent a hangover is to go slow, and make sure to eat edibles with enough time to activate and have effects before sleep. And if your goal is sleep, don’t wait until your bedtime to pop the CBN. Giving the cannabinoids time to kick in will help with either fun or sleep, and allow for a restful night without effects clouding your mind the next day. In Budtenders We Trust Last but certainly not least, trust your budtender when you have questions, concerns or experiences to share. Don’t be shy: They’ve heard it all and probably love helping with advice! If they don’t, pick a more enthusiastic budtender and dive in. Getting trusted info from the source is always clutch, especially before dropping money on a new product or trying something different. And for the best advice possible, always tip your budtender for good service. It will definitely pay off!

An author, journalist and explorer, Fitz Hugh Ludlow started eating Cannabis extracts during college at Princeton in the mid1800s – in particular a tetanus remedy called Tilden’s extract – during the time that marijuana-infused medicines were a part of the medical pharmacopeia. He wrote his autobiographical book “The Hasheesh Eater” in 1857, extolling the ability of Cannabis to enlighten and boost creativity. He later soured on the practice of eating weed after becoming addicted to opium, and unfortunately ended up expressing racist and bigoted remarks in his later works, but his influence in introducing edibles to many in the the public remains. “He later soured on the practice of eating weed after becoming addicted to opium.”

2. Top with the whipped heavy cream. 3. Sprinkle with the amaretti cookies. You can make ahead of time, just wait to whip the cream if you can – and then sprinkle. The cookies may get soggy otherwise, and that would be a bummer.
THIS IS MY VERY FAVORITE HOLIDAY DESSERT. I serve it on Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve. Traditionally a boozy indulgence, this magnificent creation is infused with, you guessed it … Cannabis. Keeping the dose low throughout the holiday season, the butter is infused with Corazón De Piña – a blend of CBD and THC from East Fork Cultivars with a tasty twist of pineapple and pepper perfect for festive occasions. I find that it heightens focus and moments of happiness in a delightful way. Remember, this is a wonderful time of year to help people and animals – and a sprinkle of these vibes would be a wonderful thing to share with others. Trifle bowls are often surprisingly reasonable in price! I bought a bunch at Target last year for under 10 bucks. Gift a trifle and say, “Keep the bowl!” Now that’s nice. Laurie@Laurieandmaryjane.com

"I really enjoyed making things that stood out on the shelf … something that people could have a nostalgic connection to.” DEC. 2023
Focusing primarily on her "Sweet Glass Pendants," Patula started working with the art form in 2004. Originally from San Diego and Temecula in Southern California, she also lived in the northwest Chicago suburbs for about 14 years. She now calls Eugene, Oregon home. "I've made pipes for years and was getting burnt out. I was looking to change things up, and around 2013 was inspired by emojis. When I first got them on my phone, I thought, ‘What would an emoji cupcake look like?’ And the ideas just came from that," shared Patula. After that, she started getting custom orders for specific dessert items that reminded people of a loved one, or a favorite treat they used to eat. "I really enjoyed making things that stood out on the shelf, something more ‘girly’ or something that people could have a nostalgic connection to," said Patula. Her wondrous creations range from familiar famous holiday treats such as candy corn and Christmas cookies, to classic goodies like Rocket Pops. And she takes you to the ice cream truck with her incredibly detailed cartoon character popsicle pendants – including Sonic, Jigglypuff, Spongebob and Bubbles. Her work typically retails for $120-$350 and can be found on her Instagram page @ reneepatula, as well as her Etsy and Big Cartel shops. You can also find her work in glass pipe shops all over the country!

Each December 25th, people around the world celebrate the beloved holiday of Christmas — commemorating the birth of the Christian savior Jesus. So in this issue, I thought it might be fun to explore the possible historical relationship between marijuana and the messiah. THE ANOINTED ONE Though commonly referred to as Jesus Christ, it’s well established that his actual name was Yeshua (Jesus was the Greek translation) and that Christ was not his last name. Jews at that time didn’t really have surnames – they simply used their father’s name or land of birth as a last name (in his case, Jesus son of Joseph or Jesus of Nazareth). Christ was, in fact, not a name, but a title bestowed upon him – either by his disciples, or possibly even after his death. Derived from the Greek word christos meaning “anointed,” the title “Christ” literally translates as “the anointed one” or “the anointer.” In its practical sense, “to anoint” means simply “to smear or rub with oil or liquid.” But in its religious, Biblical context, it also means to consecrate or “make holy” someone or something through ritual. According to scripture, anointing was something that was done to Jesus, that Jesus did to others (particularly when healing the sick), and that Jesus encouraged his followers to do to themselves and others. Believe it or not, this practice – like many of Jesus’ activities – was considered radical and perhaps even heretical at that time, since God’s law expressly forbade the anointing of laypeople. Until then, only Hebraic priests and monarchs were allowed to be anointed. In “Bible Myths and their Parallels in Other Religions” (1882), author TW Doane notes: “[The practice of anointing] was common among the kings of Israel. It was the sign and symbol of royalty. The word ‘Messiah’ signifies the ‘Anointed One,’ and none of the kings of Israel were styled the Messiah unless anointed.” Anointing commoners was so taboo because it was believed that the Holy Anointing Oil would actually imbue the person being anointed with the Holy Spirit — enabling them to receive divine revelations and “understand the truth of God.”
DEC. 2023
HOLY ANOINTING OIL So what exactly was in this sacred anointing oil (also known in some sects as the “chrism,” which bears an obvious resemblance to “Christ”) that enabled one to communicate with God? Well, it so happens that God himself dictated the exact recipe for this Holy Anointing Oil (as well as who was and wasn’t allowed to use it) when he appeared to Moses during that whole “burning bush” episode: “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 q’aneh-bosm, 500 shekels of cassia … and a hind of olive oil. Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend ... Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil for the generations to come. Do not pour it on anyone else’s body, and do not make any other oil using the same formula. It is sacred, and you are to consider it sacred.’” (Exodus 30:22-33)
Now, we all know what myrrh and cinnamon are, and cassia is a tree bark very similar to cinnamon … but what the heck is q’aneh-bosm (or kaneh bosm), you may ask? Most historians have claimed that kaneh bosm refers to the root of the Acorus calamus plant (commonly known as calamus or ‘Sweet Flag’), which has been used as an herbal remedy for gastrointestinal ailments for millennia. But as I mentioned in my June 2022 column “Kosher Kush: The History of Jews and Cannabis,” some scholars believe that kaneh bosm was, in fact, Cannabis. It was Polish etymologist Dr. Sula Benet who first argued that the Aramaic term kaneh bosm might refer to Cannabis rather than calamus. In 1936, while lecturing in Warsaw, Benet claimed that, after deep etymological studies, she was convinced that the term had been mistranslated during the third century AD when the Old Testament was first translated from Hebrew into Greek. She explained that the root “kan” actually translated to “hemp,” and bos meant “aromatic.” And since the “m” represents a pluralization, the singular would be kanehbos…which obviously sounds remarkably similar to Cannabis. Dr. Benet’s assertion was later backed up by anthropologist Weston La Barre in 1980 and again over the past few decades by renowned scholar of Cannabis and religion Chris Bennett. Beyond mere linguistics, though, it’s also been pointed out that the amount of calamus outlined in the formula – 250 shekels, or roughly six pounds – infused into around a gallon and a half of olive oil would be highly toxic to humans. Six pounds of Cannabis, however, would not be – and in fact, could produce quite a potent psychotropic effect … perhaps even allowing one to “see God,” so to speak. “The skin is the biggest organ of the body, so of course, considerably more Cannabis is needed to be effective this way … much more than when ingested or smoked,” Bennet told Herb magazine in 2019. “The people who used the Holy Oil literally drenched themselves in it.” BAPTISM OR CHRISM? This “revelation” also shines a new light on the significance of Jesus’ baptism – arguably the most consequential and transformative event in his life besides his crucifixion. In fact, it is Jesus’ encounter with John the Baptist where the gospels of Mark and John essentially begin. “It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him. And there came a voice from Heaven, saying, ‘Thou Art My Beloved Son, In Whom I Am Well Pleased.’ And immediately, the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto Him.” (Mark 1: 9-13) So, it was during his baptism around the age of 30 that Jesus first heard the voice of God. And immediately thereafter, the Holy Spirit sent him out alone into the desert to fast for 40 days, where he was thrice visited by Satan. That sounds an awful lot like a shamanic vision quest – which, in Native/Pagan traditions, typically involved ingesting some form of entheogen.
If the Holy Anointing Oil Jesus used was indeed a form of Cannabis oil, it would certainly lend a level of
scientific credibility to some of the visions he reportedly had, as well as the supposed miracles he performed.
Which begs the question: What if it wasn’t just water that Jesus was baptized with? What if John also anointed him in Holy Oil as part of the baptism ritual? The Gnostic Gospels – a collection of texts written by early Christian mystics believed to predate the New Testament gospels – suggest that may be precisely what happened. In the book “Gnosis: The Nature and History of Gnosticism,” author Kurt Rudolph writes, “Anointing with oil has a greater representation than baptism in Gnosis, and in some texts, it is even regarded as more significant. In general, however, it is taken closely with the baptismal ceremony – the anointing taking place either before or after the baptism.” One of the Gnostic scriptures, the Gospel of Philip, even states explicitly that it is anointing, not baptism, that makes one a Christian. “The anointing (chrism) is superior to baptism. For from the anointing, we were called ‘anointed ones’ (Christians), not because of the baptism. And Christ also was [so] named because of the anointing, for the Father anointed the son, and the son anointed the apostles, and the apostles anointed us. [Therefore] he who has been anointed has the All. He has the resurrection, the light. . . the Holy Spirit. . . [If] one receives this unction, this person is no longer a Christian but a Christ.” Indeed, it’s only after his baptism (a.k.a. anointing?) that Jesus begins his ministry, performs “miracles,” and is eventually referred to as “Christ.”
HEALING OF THE SICK If the Holy Anointing Oil that Jesus used on himself and others was indeed a form of Cannabis oil, it would certainly lend a level of scientific credibility to some of the visions he reportedly had, as well as the supposed miracles he performed. Among the many ailments Jesus is said to have healed – often simply by laying his hands upon the afflicted – include leprosy, lesions, swollen muscles, blindness and demonic possession: “News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.” (Matthew 4:24) “And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.” (Mark 6:13) A potent Cannabis oil applied to the skin would serve as a powerful topical medicine – allowing the body to absorb large amounts of CBD, as well as THC and other cannabinoids transdermally. Research has shown that cannabinoids have significant analgesic, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and have been proven effective in treating many ailments similar to those Jesus supposedly healed – including muscle pain, anxiety and glaucoma, as well as skin conditions including dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and pruritus (which bear many similarities to leprosy). What’s more, anyone who’s seen Sanjay Gupta’s “Weed” special with Charlotte Figi on CNN knows how instantaneously and “miraculously” CBD oil can halt the seizures and shaking associated with conditions like epilepsy, rheumatism and multiple sclerosis – which, in Biblical times, might easily be mistaken for demonic possession. MARIJUANA MESSIAH? Did Cannabis-infused anointing oil play a role in Jesus’ supposed divinity? Could it be that what early Christians perceived as possession by the Holy Spirit was actually just being really, really high? Like most tales in the Bible, we may never be able to definitively prove these theories one way or the other. If they are true, however, that would technically make Jesus one of the very first pro-pot activists. “If Cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil, and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians,” Bennet postulates, “then persecuting those who use Cannabis could be considered anti-Christ.” In other words, a Christian should never be stoned for getting stoned.

WHERE IS THIS GATE OF WHICH THEY SPEAK? Is it the one that you carelessly enter that leads you into a string of bad decisions, eventually overtaking your better sense of judgment where you surrender to any resistance against an ugly dependency on cocaine and heroin? Sure, it starts out harmlessly. Just a couple puffs on a joint because you caved to the peer pressure of your cool buddies or older brother and his friends. But next thing you know, you’re selling your ass on the streets – frothing at the mouth, comfortable with needles. You see, what I envision when I think of going through the Cannabis gate … it’s like entering a wide-open expanse of understanding. There’s a warm, inviting breeze flowing over a majestic mountain range colored with vibrant, beautifully lit growth in a lush habitat that is inviting and blissful. Well, maybe that’s LSD … but you get the point. There is no pressure to stay in this stoney place if it’s not what you’re vibing on, but nonetheless, you are quite welcome to indulge in all that makes you happy. Everyone is welcome. It is a place of tolerance and acceptance. Yes, some of the people appear a pinch dumb, but what the fuck? It’s way better than uptight, right? The point is this: If someone has a propensity to seek out the highest peak they can reach, only to jump directly off the cliff to the bottom of Marianas Trench – all in the course of a 24-hour period – then there’s probably something called “bad parenting” that had a part in their craving to escape the monster clawing at the inside of their psyche. Otherwise, Cannabis is not a gateway to anything other than a potential “Rick and Morty” marathon. And a gateway through the golden arches of McDonald’s to the podium from where you proudly ring the Taco Bell.
