Another DaVinci Code

On Tuesday, Slate.com published a piece called "What Would Jesus Smoke?: The Christian Doctrine on Bong Hits" as part of their Explainer series and in reaction to the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" story.

I sent the story along to my brother, the former Stoner and aficionado of all things Weed. (From him, I first heard the Ganga interpretation of Scooby Doo. Yes, I was that naive that my baby brother had to point this out to me). * He sent this reply:

Actually , after reading this I had a thought (oh hell here we go). So I did some careful examinations of Jesus pictures and found the truth that has been hidden by history and covered up by Anslinger. If you look closely at most renditions of the last supper you will find it. The true meaning of the last picture is to display the peril faced by the great son of god. He is actually asking who is going to roll the last joint he is ever going to smoke. Go ahead , you know you are going to look. Notice the fact that the thing sitting in front of him is actually a rolling tray and the dismay on his face is that of lackaweed. As demonstrated by this picture. And If you notice the others are holding out on him. Since it was known he was going to get the cross, the bogarts in this picture are clearly cutting ole J out of the loop. They didn't want him to smoke all their shit so they were passing by him in the rotation. So I do believe Jesus would say "legalize it". And maybe someone in the art history and Archeology dept. needs to take a look at this angle. Maybe I have solved the Da Vinci code.

Move over Dan Brown.

*I will leave his explanation of how the American Revolution was about the Founding Fathers attempting to defend their manhood, which had been called into question due to their wigs, "ponytails," and knickers, for another time. This was probably also a Ganga interpretation, as well, in that Ganga helped to formulate this interpretation.
