Just as Prohibition of Alcohol in the U.S. was counterproductive and produced an enormous organized crime wave in the 1020s, so has the Prohibition of Marijuana. Since it is still the popular "drug" of choice for many millions of people despite the fact that every 45 seconds one is arrested for using it, it is the top selling item sold by criminal neighborhood gangs and drug cartels who smuggle and sell it, and they have become increasingly violent and murderous.

It is time now to reevaluate policies and laws regarding Marijuana, because they are not only foolish in that respect, they are based on half-truths and even falsehoods. They ignore scientific evidence that clearly show how and why that is so, and that has been the case since 1937 when Marijuana was first made illegal, and especially since 1970 when Marijuana was falsely and foolishly reclassified as a "Schedule I Drug" right along with hard drugs and narcotics like heroin.

Therefore, will discuss the factual history of Marijuana, from ancient times, to American Prohibition in 1937, to the present.

"I will raise up for them a Plant of Renown, and they shall no more be consumed with hunger [for truth] in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they are my people." (Ezekiel 34:29-30)

I will show you why Marijuana is the Plant of Renown, and I will show you why that has been misunderstood and not revealed.

Most Christians have been led to believe that Ezekiel was speaking of the Christ Jesus as the "Plant of Renown." But that is merely another case of erroneous attributions and referrals to Judaic ("Old Testament") scriptures that have been made by Christians since not long after the death of Jesus.

The error is in believing that Isaiah 53:2-4 speaks of the Christ Jesus where it is written: "For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant…" However, Isaiah was using the word plant as a metaphor, while Ezekiel was talking literally about a plant. Furthermore, in using the plant metaphor, Isaiah was not talking about the Christ Jesus, but the next son of man who now fulfills both Judaic and Christian prophecies. That will become evident when you consider the context.

"For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." (Isaiah 53:2-4)

That does not speak of the Christ Jesus, even though a little bit of Chapter 53 of Isaiah does speak of Jesus, following that in verses five and seven. But, as I explain on the page titled Prophecies Re: The One to Come, Isaiah 53 speaks mainly of the modern son of man even though it does speak a little bit of the son of man named Jesus. For Isaiah foresaw the future in a spiritual manner that is beyond time and space, and he actually foresaw aspects of the lives of two different men. He foresaw this modern prodigal son of man being stricken and afflicted and being despised and rejected by his generation (as Jesus later also foresaw), and Isaiah also foresaw the son of man named Jesus being whipped, crucified and martyred as a sacrificial lamb of God after being accepted as a Mashiach/Christ by multitudes in his generation. That is why Isaiah wrote about "his stripes" (from being whipped), and even wrote that "he shall be brought as a lamb to slaughter."
