why did brigham young use cannabis

I have no reason to suspect that he did, and I don’t know why anyone would ask, but that’s a Google search that recently brought someone to Keepa’s Great Mormon Marijuana Myth. So did the search string

cannabis recipe in mormon books

C’mon, guys, you’re holding out on me. What books are in your library that are missing from my own?

Many people searched for Halloween items. I am pleased to report that Googlers looking for

witches sailing through the sky on their broomsticks
theres no such thing as a witch
song lyric there’s no such thing as a witch
there’s no such thing as a witch song
1950’s primary song witch’s sailing thru the sky
keepapitchen there no such thing as a witch
halloween song about witches sailing thru the sky on thier broom sticks way up high

all ended up here for There’s No Such Thing as a Witch.

Searchers found several posts at Keepa as a result of these searches:

the mormon church latest decision on not baptising children with gay parents
lds disavow gay families
lds children of polygamous parents baptism
new lds church policy on baptising gay parents chikdten [sic]
lds and kids of gay parents
new lds policy on children with lgbt parents and baptism
lds why cant polygamous children be baptised

Neither of those last two searches surprise me. However, I don’t understand the constant interest in this post on the Relocation of Joseph’s and Hyrum’s Graves. It gets hundreds of hits a month, some of the recent readers delivered by these searches:

who has joseph and hyrum smith remains
where are joseph and hyrum smith buried
where is joseph smith jr burie
where is joseph smith buried
burial of joseph and hyrum smith
photos of joseph smith exhumed body
joseph’s bloody robe

Who knows me by name and by religion, but not well enough to spell either?

Bruce Crow might be happy that someone was searching for

books about tennessee mormon massacre

(you want to go to Amateur Mormon Historian for that).

Grant Vaughn will be glad to know that somebody wanted

white satin sugar

But what in the world were people hoping for with these searches?

beat with a shovel the weak google spots
raspberry applesauce jello mormon

Some of these are saddening … I hope finding Being a 50-Something Single in the Church or Drowning in a Sea of Marriage helped.

older singles leave the church
never married singles in the church
as a single in your 50’s you never fit in in the lds church

If not, Googlers might drown their sorrows in drink.

where can i buy postum drink
postum and ice cream
ingredients in postum
what stores carry postum
what is in postum

(Postum and ice cream???)

If any of you ever do find out why Brigham Young used cannabis, you be sure to tell us, you hear?

  1. I should clarify that I was referring to White Satin Sugar of the Amalgamated Sugar Company, Nampa, Idaho (formerly of Ogden, Utah) not whatever Brother Brigham may or may not have been smoking or putting in his brownies.

  2. Two books that maybe aren’t in your library are “the History and Social Influence of the Potato” by Redcliffe Salaman and “No man knows my Pastries: The Secret (not Sacred) Recipes of Sister Enid Christensen” with such fun recipes as “Mountain Meadows muffins” and “Endow Mints”. Please put my name in the free book draw! Thank you!

  3. Bryan, does that Marmon come with an owners manual? ‘Cause I recall there was a Book of Marmon that ETB wanted us all to read.

  4. I was a bit late reading this post, but got a good laugh out of it.

    Brigham Young smoking cannabis? That’s good. I’ve read about Joseph Smith (supposedly) using mushrooms, and Elder Talmage (recorded in his own diary) taking cannabis (for purely scientific reasons), but BY is new to me. I would like to see what is encouraging that Google search.
