Did Jesus Use Children as Drugs?

The interview explores unconventional historical and pharmacological theories involving ancient religious practices and their potential ties to psychoactive substances. Discussions touch upon the possible symbolic and material intersections of early religious ritual-particularly in antiquity-and the use of plants or animal-derived compounds. Central to the dialogue is an analysis of how historical texts are interpreted in modern contexts, focusing on the potential for psychedelics to have been embedded in ancient ritualistic frameworks. The conversation balances an examination of these claims with a critical, academic perspective on historical evidence, methodology, and the challenges of accurately reconstructing long-lost sacramental traditions.
