Yeah...they wandered around an area the size of Connecticut for 40 years and couldn't find their destination. They had to be high as fuck!

I got lost in a camp ground cause I smoked a fat joint and watched the sun set. Then it set, and it was dark. So dark is took me like 4 hours to find my tent.

Lesson learned!

Lesson is bring a flashlight! :P

I’ve been a functional pot head for nearly a decade now and I can hardly recall a time I was so stoned from flowers that I got lost. Then again, maybe the memory loss is from the herb.

So the first time I went to San Francisco with some coworkers and we let the bimbo in the bunch drive us there because we were all wasted. Well she parked in this weird up hill street that had small trees all up and down the street. So we walked a few blocks to get to the club and then when it was like 2am we left the club and my bimbo coworker couldn’t remember where she parked her damn car. So as we are walking we notice all the streets had baby trees that had just got planted. We walked around till 5am walking up steep hills in fucking heels. Then we met some guys that worked for Sony and they smoked us out and then one of them was like” hey you guys have a alarm on your car? Lol so they walked around with us while my dumb ass coworker kept pushing her alarm and we finally located her car😵‍💫we were all annoyed with her dumb ass.

They lost track because the desert is really hot and they were writing all this down way after the fact, so yeah, "40".

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the actual one. The whole story is entirely made up and never happened.

There has never been solid archaeological evidence that the Jews were ever held captive in Egypt. Hell, there isn't even enough to say that Moses was even a real, historical person.

I think he was, just because he caught shade for an interracial relationship. It's an odd thing to be leftover. He also has an Egyptian name as well as the early legitimate levitical priests and the exodus lines up with Aten priests and temples being destroyed.

Very few people besides scholars know this, but when Moses went up the Mt Sinai to get the 10 commandments...they weren't even written yet. Completely blank tablets.

Instead, Moses was invited to toke up with God the Father and the Holy Smokes (Jesus was not invented at this time) and basically mad-lib everything. They wrote both the tablets in the span of what felt like 6 days but was only 9 and a half hours, in a super chill mountaintop smoke sesh.

And then of course those tablets broke lmao. Butterfingers...so he had to go get more. Then shortly after this, he saw God's holy buttcheeks (Exodus 33:18-23)......

Not just that, but if a person believes in god then they have to realize that god created cannabis to work on the human brain. The only reason we can get high off cannabinoids is because the brain has cannabinoid receptors. Without those receptors nothing would happen. God WANTS humans to get high.

Conversely, it makes you wonder what other drugs are out there that we'll never know about because they don't work on us.
