bible promotes drug use
Researchers have discovered that frankincense is a psychoactive substance and may lead us to a new class of drugs that can be used to treat anxiety and depression.
They found that "burning frankincense (resin from the Boswellia plant) activates poorly understood ion channels in the brain to alleviate anxiety or depression." When tested in mice, it lowered their anxiety by affecting brain areas involved in emotion.
It was inevitable, of course, what with the reputation of that longhaired hippy freak. How long until it's made illegal, d'ya suppose? Or prescription-only? (Same thing.)
WWJD, indeed. If it was good enough for baby Jesus.... *inhale*
