Marijuana and the Herbs Spoken of in the Bible Scriptures

The discussion of the herbs are about what they are, what is done with them. Some of the verses need the whole chapter to define the herbs or plants. Flavoring is often made from herbs. Some of these flavorings are spices, seasonings, spirit and sauce. Most herbs are to eat in some form or another. However, medicine is made from herbs.

In the Easton's Bible Dictionary, the definitions of herbs are any green plant, vegetables and all green herbage. In addition, any green herbs or the fruit of some plant, at dictionary.com, the definitions for herbage are the succulent parts, leaves and stems and of herbaceous plants. Succulent means: full of juice, rich in desirable qualities, affording mental nourishment, also (of a plant) having fleshy and juicy tissues. Herbaceous means: pertaining to or characteristic of an herb, not woody, herb-like, (of plants or plant parts), having the texture, color of an ordinary foliage leaf also grassy, equiv. to herb.

Although there is questions that marijuana is one of these herbs. However, according to the medical dictionary at dictionary.com marijuana is not one of these herbs. When studying herbaceous it said pertaining to or characteristic of an herb, not woody, herb-like. The medical dictionary says, the marijuana definition states that it is HEMP, the dried leaves and flowering tops of the pistil late hemp plant. Hemp definition is a tall widely cultivated Asian herb of the genus Cannabis with strong woody fiber used especially for cordage. Cannabis mean: the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa, the flowering tops of the plant, any of the various parts of the plant from which hashish, marijuana and similar mildly euphorogenic and hallucinogenic drugs are prepared. It is unlike these herbs that are not woody. The words Hemp or Cannabis are not in any scripture in the Bible.
