Did Jesus Eat Magic Mushrooms At Last Supper?

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- Chew on this: An ethnobotanist in Santa Cruz, California, thinks Jesus was munching magic mushrooms at the Last Supper.
Clark Heinrich says man has enjoyed the psychedelic effects of mushrooms since thousands of years before Christ -- and figured the King of Kings probably turned on as well.

In fact, he thinks Jesus was high on a psychedelic 'shroom known as "fly agaric" which was hailed for its taste as well as its trips.

Heinrich says the mushroom resembles pita bread and when soaked with water it feels exactly like human skin. He figures that's the bread that Jesus was referring to at the last supper when he said "eat this bread, this is my body."

But that's not the only way Jesus might have doled out psychedelics. Heinrich says people who eat lots of shrooms have a reddish-orange urine that's even more hallucinogenic -- and figures the almighty turned water into wine by whizzing into a five-gallon jug of H20.

Heinrich is the author of a new book, "Magic Mushrooms In Religion And Alchemy" (Park Street Press).

Ok I don't believe this but it's kinda funny....so many theories....
I made the mistake of bringing it up in front of one of my gf's friends...boy did I get my assed chew for it.

You know, Jezus probably liked cats too. After all, everyone likes cats, and that was no different 2000 years ago.

Want me to write a book about it? :)

Who wouldn't like cats? Even Death likes cats.

"I meant," said Iplsore bitterly, "what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. "CATS," he said eventually, "CATS ARE NICE."
--(Terry Pratchett, Sourcery)

Sounds like the author is the one eating the shrooms.

Why can't people just leave it alone? I am not christian, but I have no desire to try to make christianity sound bad...

Man, it looks like Jesus and I need to hang out sometime.

Jesus was the hippy that started it all, if he was eatin shrooms, I'm cool w/ that. That means that if I ever get busted w/ them I can claim that they are part of my sacrament and I am protected by my right to practice my religion.

lol thats kinda streching it but who cares, i would eat em also, if those taste good thats awsome!

.... question:

if Christ did eat a mushroom or toked up.. so what?

Can I merge this with the "Jesus was Gay" thread?

PLEEZZZEE???

thats pretty funny, but with the stuff scientists are finding, it is possible.

Wow. I thought the "Jesus was Gay" thread would be the most baseless thing I could ever read.

I now stand corrected.

Yeah jesus started hanging around with the wrong crowd back in 20 A.D. It doesnt surprise me that he was munching on on boomers. They have had LSD since like forever, i think alot of the stuff in the bible was influenced by drug use. The bible was like pop culture back then just like the music of today, and all musicians do drrugs so why not the rocking wisemen either?

Have you ever read the book of revalation, that is some serious drug use in action there.

Seriously folks, as cool as it would be to believe that Jesus ate shrooms in the last supper, it probably isn't the case. He was tryin to do the passover meal, and that has a strict requirement of unleavened bread. Shrooms were probably not on the menu. However, I would not be surprised if He did use them at one point in his career. He is said to have lived with some Jewish mystics before His ministry, and those mystics probably were all about the psychotropics.

I've read these theories, and they're all pure conjecture. Zero evidence. I would have as much backing if I said that during His "missing years" He was touring with a circus doing a trapeze act.

LOOK OUT, IT BE FLYIN' JEEEEESUS!

well its all kind of interesting all the same. Not being religious I am not taking offence at the notion . . whilst it is probably not true, I think an open mind is the most important thing to have.

On a similar theme there is an excellent song by 10cc called 'second sitting for the last supper' which hits the nail on the head.

I have to smile at your complaint about 'lack of evidence' on this! Seems to me there is little evidence of anything . . . . . . .

I just think it is way too crazy to be true.

Because it's so much fun! :D

Well, we could merge this thread with the gay thread, and then merge both of them with the best film quotes-thread.

Jesus' sexuality, 'shrooms, Maria Magdalena and the Pulp Fiction-foot-massage-dialogue together would definetely make for worthwhile reading.
