The
word 'herb' appears frequently in the
King James Version (KJV) of the Bible,
and has been interpreted by some as a
justification for the use of the
so-called 'holy herb' (marijuana) for
meditative and curative purposes.
However, the word has changed its meaning
over the centuries, as have many other
words also found in the KJV. Smoking
marijuana is not a biblical concept.
I have never been a smoker in any way,
shape or form. I include the image here
because I consider the shape of the
marijuana leaf aesthetically very
beautiful. |
