Jesus invented microdosing

Pile of dark ergot-infected grain kernels beneath an informational card labeled Claviceps purpurea and warning that ergot is toxic.

Remember in Sunday School when they taught you that Jesus invented microdosing? Mark 2:23-2:28

“One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.

The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread (the bread of many faces, the Presence bread, the Show bread), which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”

Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

“Another interesting plant discovered at these temples is poison darnel (a.k.a. ryegrass, false wheat, or the tares described in the New Testament—Matthew 13:26). “Poison darnel is a natural source of ergot fungi containing an lsd-type alkaloid, known to be hallucinogenic,” the report said.

lsd was first extracted from ergot fungi in 1938. Effects of “ergotism” may include convulsions, muscle spasms, vomiting and hallucinations.

Many historians believe that ergot fungi-infected wheat is what led to the massive witch trials of the Dark Ages in Europe. The use of poison darnel is also mentioned in relation to the activities of the ancient Greek Eleusinian Mysteries cult.“
