Was Einstein a Cannabis or Hash user?

Einstein was well known for using a pipe, and it is even known that he enjoyed the specific blend called Revelation by House Windsor. But in the past it is known that plenty of centers of higher thought brought scholars together to smoke tobacco laced with poppy and discuss the affairs of man. So, is it possible that Einstein partook in some form of Cannabis consumption? I am not sure if he did, but I have reason to believe he very well may have.


Firstly, He was WELL known to have a pipe. It was not just a once a year thing or something like some people and cigars, it was something he did commonly, and probably while thinking.

This was Einstein's pipe.

Einstein's brain was well intact into his later years, these dark black trenches are usually much lighter and less full than this when you reach Einstein's age. And recently around the world, people have been discovering Nuerogenisis and Nueroprotective properties from Canabinnoids. So maybe Einstein's brain was kept young with MJ.


And, lastly. One of the thing that made Einstein "smart" was that he was able to look outside traditional thought, and ponder things like "What would it be like to ride a bolt of light through space"? And if you were in enough smoking circles in high-school, you definitely heard some questions like that.

It was highly unlikely that Einstein used or partook in Cannabis or opiums, as he would have failed his green card....lol

he moved to avoid death camps not waiting for mj reform in the states,

had Einstein been British the odds would have been higher that he would have used hashish, been ripped and missed the boat, sent to a Nazis death camp, and the Nazis would have won WW2, with nuclear bombs and you would be speaking German ...not funny!

Lol, but you forgot. Marijuana was still a legal crop during WWII. Look up the old film "Hemp for Victory" on YouTube. So the modern legal debate is a non-issue with Einstein.

want to see what einstein would have been like if he were a consumer of marijuana? hah... two words: terence mckenna

I don't really like Terrence Mckenna. He is too far down the rabbit hole and in some kind of fairy land. Everyone should look up the discussion between Terrence Mckenna and Alexander Shulgin in the graveyard. It's on YouTube, and I am a "student" of Shulgin's work, so that is honestly the oonly thing I have seen or read by Mckenna. I had a freind in Highschool that talked about Mckenna too though, he read like "Foods of the Gods" and stuff.

I have Hemp for Victory ...a propaganda film from WW2 ,, made for the USA and her allies ...but not for Nazis Germany where Einstein was living until it got too anti Jewish

lol, not only that, but have you ever tried to smoke hemp?? it's a far cry from cannabis indica or sativa..

Well, when they give the centers this name, it seems they had little choice of what to do inside them...

I like to think Einstein toked up. I certainly need to toke up if I'm going to try to wrap my mind around his theories. People often forget that he not only started the revolution destroying classical perceptions of space time and motion, but also was largely responsible for the revolution in quantum theory (which he staunchly opposed later). Sure Planck wrote down the formula for radiation that got the ball rolling. But it wasn't interpreted until Einstein's 1905 paper on the photoelectric effect. Planck still believed that the result could be reconciled with classical thermodynamics, but Einstein knew better. Ironically, its the only Nobel Prize he won, even though his special and general relativity theories are much deeper, novel and ahead of their time.

I'm just saying that smoking would not have kept him from getting a green card. And Germany is quite well known for it's Hashish, so I'm still not sure either way.

Back then they did not really know the difference on a large scale, or Rudaralis would be a more common thing.

I don't like all this quantum shit either. When the cat is in the box, it's either alive or dead. It's only both in your mind. And black holes are not a fact of life, they are a very flexible fairy tail that people stretch to fit things we don't understand. Now if we include the aspect of time time and movement through space, the cat very well have the POSSIBILITY of being both dead or alive. Like, if you threw the box down some stairs. We could say that now within this X time span, the cat could have possibly been alive or dead. But if you put a cat in a box, and we are judging just ONE moment in time where no movement has taken place. That cat is just alive or dead, not both at the same time, and it is not even a 50/50 chance, that cat is probably in the same condition it was in when it went in the box.

Ex: The most common Quantum physics experiment talked about is the one where they use the gold foil and the atom particles to make different patterns on x-ray paper or something similar. And the difference occurs when the atom particles are either being or not being viewed. And supposedly this experiment "proves" that when we are watching atoms, they move, but when we look away they sit still. And my question is: If that is true, then why can this not be replicated without the gold foil, and with a new material for the particles to be launched through. Because if they are going to state that this is how ALL matter acts, then the experiment should work with anything.

i know they were two different people, with two different outlooks on things, and terence had a way with words, but what stands out to me is how they dissected info.

I am just not sure how Terrence dissects it. To me it seems like he is the kind of guy that has a pre-concieved notion of aliens, that goes to make DMT and mushrooms fit his hope of alien contact. Machine Elves and ET Fungus.

If you watch the graveyard video, Mckenna even says to Shulgin "What is going to happen, how do we move forward with this?" and Shulgin had to tell him "This is your field of work too you know."

I personally think that Terrence Mckenna was an FBI agent that was planted so that the government could have access to Shulgin and others. Because they thought they were going to have a handle on all this stuff by now. Basically, Terrence Mckenna is the REAL LIFE Skully and Moulder.

And now that Terrence's work is done, the FBI has no leads left in the entire world. Shulgin is alive, but when people question him he just says he is a modest chemist at his workbench.

Lol what??? How did you come up with that?

Again, I have only seen the discussion between him and Shulgin in the graveyard, and that is ALL I know about Mckenna. And to me, it seemed like a truly interested police officer talking to a master of the "other" dimensions.

Hashish IS cannabis.

not really, although hashish comes from cannabis, i wouldn't really call hash cannabis.. it's just pressed thc from cannabis, but i'd not say they're the same products..
