Hemp was a major industry in biblical times. As in other cultures throughout the Middle East, the Hebrew tradition of mysticism (e.g., Cabala) was aware of, and entwined with, regional sects using natural intoxicants in their rituals. As usual, they hid this knowledge behind rituals, symbols, and secret codes to protect natural sacraments like “sacred mushrooms” and mind-elevating herbs, including cannabis.
