Maybe even more striking: a 2020 article describing THC /Cannabis residue on a Jewish temple altar that dates to the same time period as the above 2019 article. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03344355.2020.1...

This strengthens the argument for Cannabis use by Abrahamic priests. This has been asserted on the basis of textual evidence in the Old Testament (namely the qaneh bosem in the holy anointing oil and the smoke-filled tabernacle). On the basis of the text alone, it might seem far-fetched. But now we’ve got a smoking gun, so to speak.
