Was Ganja Found On King Solomons Grave

[Walsh]

"It was found on king solomons grave he was the wisest man in his days" Killa

The most often quoted saying about Ganja in Reggae Music is that "it was found growing on King Solomon’s Grave." Since King Solomon was considered the wisest man to roam the earth, Some consider Marijuana to be the "Wisdom Weed".

where is King Solomon’s grave? The City Of David?

If this Legend has some factual background it should be found in some form of documentation.

And if it did somehow factually grow on his grave...Why is that important and a justification to continue to tell this story thru music? If dandelions were found to have also grown on his grave should they be praised also.

KIng Solomon.... freemasonry?

THIS IS NOT A RASTA POST. Its a ganja post, for facts on the weed and the grave.

it is a metaphor........parables.......dat is de way de bible speaks. IMO, JJP feels dat sum of de logic dat is expressed in de bible are true to a degree but tru it wuz constructed to blind us and to enslave us de truest will tek a few more generations b4 it is fully overstood.

Solomon rep a wise kING......whether if him wuz real or not de relationship wid him and kaya is dat most powerful wise kingz blaze dat. Since dem ah describe Solomon as a KIng dat handle any matter no matter how far extreme.......he found a solution......hence him prolly meddy under sum kaya and kno wha gwan.

So IMO......when him pass him gave de world kaya and dat we must use it to meddy and to ez and calm we selves.

Just 1 POV.

He said where in the BIBLE is it found.
And it isn't!!
Noah's ark and dthe burial of Jesus both are found in the bible

[D...Ras]

that info is not in the bible, it's orgins come from the sitings of the archeologists who claimed they found it...however legend & tradition is what links Solomon & the ganja...not the bible...but it was believed that he drank, sexed & smoked nuff & was the wisest man ever to live...Ethiopian folklore more than anything else...just like the arc of the convenant

Frequently Asked Questions
The Wisdom Weed?
Question:

Isn't marijuana called the wisdom weed? What do you think of all of the reggae singers that claim that marijuana was found on the grave of King Solomon? Is this true?

Answer:

The most often quoted saying about Ganja in Reggae Music is that "it was found growing on King Solomon’s Grave." Since King Solomon was considered the wisest man to roam the earth, Rastas consider Marijuana to be the "Wisdom Weed". This argument is absurd. First of all, where is King Solomon’s grave? The Bible mentions his death in both I Kings 11:42, 43b and II Chronicles 9:30, 31b stating that "Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. Then he rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father." Besides mentioning that he was buried in the "City of David", the Bible never mentions the exact location of Solomon's final resting place. When someone tells me that Marijuana was found growing on his grave I always ask "Where is his grave?" I doubt that any Rasta knows the exact where-about of his grave much less has ever visited it. I have never seen a picture of Marijuana growing at his grave site. And even if it grew their at one time; SO WHAT? If dandelions grew on his grave would you smoke them also?

Solomon was a wise man, but he also made many mistakes, breaking virtually every one of the laws that God set out for the Kings of Israel to obey. Sure he was granted the gift of divine wisdom by God and wrote many proverbs, poetry and songs, but he also gave us a great example of what not to do as a servant of the Most High. To pattern your life after the actions of King Solomon would surely lead to destruction.

Besides, where in the Bible does it say that we should smoke anything, much less that which grows on an in individuals grave? This claim is just another ridiculous attempt to justify one’s sin. True wisdom is found at the EMPTY grave of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In the case of this grave, it is not what IS there that counts, but rather WHO is missing; Jesus. He rose from the grave and is the author of all wisdom.

Marijuana is not a Wisdom Weed. On the contrary, it lessens your intelligence. It is a know fact that the use of this weed actually kills your brain cells. I have seen many friends that through the habitual use of Ganja have become stupider and stupider. Often times this damage is irreparable. In fact some of my former friends that smoked marijuana daily have become permanently stoned. The stupid stoner stereotype of "Spiccoli" in the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and found in countless movies following is true to life in many high schools today. I have seen individuals like this go so far into the deep-end that they can never return to normalcy.

Seek wisdom in Christ and His Word and not in a plant that He created.

This is why I personally come out of the organization ting seen - cah most Ras use the bible and the bible nuh have nuttin to do wid I culture seen!

Whether Solomon smoke it or not I will continue to support its use and promote its growth. All plants - don't care how toxic - in there natural state should be free. No human should ever exalt themself over creation. And while we dabate this nuff companies are making billions manufacturing drugs derived from or simulated from natural medicine.

Mi personally bunn out di whole ah King George and Shakespeare battyman dem inna di belzebub book!

so without any facts or any good reasons why this idea should be repeated can we put this to rest as a myth.

A legend.

A story that some use to justify, and other use to strengthen the beliefs.

something that will make you think everytime you hear it in your favorite reggae song, and make you say, thats not true.

Big up to everyone in the post, i would have really liked someone to have come with some proof, cause it is interesting.

Bless

[D...Ras]

well the bible isn't the sole authority on history...Solomon's grave does exist just like Noah's aRc but the bible only told it's story not the real world effects...like where they're both at now...although both have been claimed to be found...Ethiopian tradion says they used the herb...Herb is mentioned in the bible a few times & yes the good book does mention smoking & how holy it is...yes...

so if the ques is whether or not Solomon's grave is mentioned in the bible the ans is no...if the ques is whether or not ganja is mentioned in the bible the ans is yes...if u ques is whewther the bible mentions smoking the ans is yes..
