Well, just be aware that it wasnt jesus; he is here fucked up stoned and has been like that for at least three hundred years; you dont smoke White Heaven from heaven without an effect, dudes.
anyway, I think its chemicals they sprayed to make the weather freak; they have even said as much, back in the gulfwar days. To control the drugflow is to control the flow of money.

Nick: This is 90% of the world's heroin supply, not a cannabis crop. We should buy the rest for safe pharmaceuticals and stop the flow while saving money.

No way, it was the devil. If Jesus could enjoy a glass of wine every so often , then I'm sure he could enjoy a toke or two also.
