In 2020 archeologists examining a 2,800 year old temple site in
Arad, Jerusalem, revealed that cannabis resins had been burnt on an
altar in a small enclosed chamber. Another find of cannabis used
for medical purposes both topically and burnt were recovered at a
4th century CE site in Bet Shemesh Israel, testifying to the use of
cannabis in the region over a 1,200 year period. In the 1900s the
Russian archeologist Victor Sarianidi uncovered 3 large 4,000 year
old temple sites in the Bactria Margiana Archeological Complex, and
claimed evidence of cannabis, ephedra and poppy in the preparation
of the sacred drinks of the Avesta and Vedas, haoma and soma.
Sacred Zoroastrian texts refer specifically to the use of cannabis
infused wines for revelation. Multiple Indo-European sites ranging
from Europe to Central China, have revealed that cannabis was burnt
and consumed in beverages in funerary rituals dating as far back as
5,500 years ago and continuing for thousands of years. In India
cannabis is still taken in devotion to the oldest continually
worshipped god in the world, Shiva. What was cannabis’ role with
our distant ancestors, is cannabis the Lost Sacrament of the
Ancient World?
