Nor would he be drinking alcohol in mufti.

See? Words DO travel. And they can travel up-down-sideways and half-way round the world, and more.

We're not talking about chous, petite or otherwise, we're talking about weed.

Prove that's NOT what that word means, and we can talk. We already know that chou is not shoe, because (aside from helpful French-English dictionaries) if you order chou in the French restaurant, you're going to get a plate of cabbage. If you order "shoe" you'll get the same.

I'm also not talking about "God" supporting (or not supporting) anything. I'm just talking about a word that sounds like cannabis. It happens to appear in a Biblical text.

Show me a translation that says that word (that sounds like cannabis) means something else and I will happily revise my view.
