Interesting fact- Jesus didn't actually baptise anyone. That's what his contemporary, John the Baptist, did. Instead, Jesus initiated all of his followers, and had his disciples initiate his followers in his name, by anointing them with oil which the disciplines carried in pitchers- and we know the composition of that holy anointing oil, as described in the original Hebrew version of the recipe in Exodus (30:22-23). It contained over six pounds of 'kaneh-bosem', a substance which has been identified by respected etymologists, linguists, anthropologists, botanists and other researchers as cannabis; extracted into about six quarts of olive oil, along with a variety of other fragrant herbs. So then, what if, instead of adopting John the Baptist's method of initiation after Jesus' death, Christianity had retained its original method, and had continued to initiate people by anointing them with the holy weed/olive oil mixture as Jesus himself did? Would Christianity have been more or less successful? Would the early persecution of Christianity in the Roman Empire have more closely resembled the war on drugs? And how much more widespread and socially acceptable might the use of cannabis be? Might the use of cannabis be even more restricted and taboo ITTL than IOTL due to its greater ritual importance and significance?
