I am astonished that an herb like cannabis that grows from the ground the way that God intended it, and describes it in Genesis 1:29-30, that has no record of ever killing anyone due to toxic side effects is illegal in the first place. But what is more troubling is that in this country we are supposed to be guaranteed religious freedom. But where is it? Cannabis is referenced in the Bible as keneh bosem
The Holy Anointing Oil of Moses was made with 250 shekels in weight of cannabis.
So when does the government get to regulate morality, if there is such thing as freedom of religion? How can the government judge what is a true religious practice or not? Are they the moral authority of all faiths?
Most of all, who has cannabis ever hurt? Cannabis heals, cannabis is industrially viable in thousands of ways, including building material, fuel, paper, rope, oils, etc.
I can not believe that the feds won’t even let Roger Christie post bond, as if he has been proven guilty of anything!
This is a video that I made to address the freedom of religion issue in the USA, and I quoted a speech from Barack Obama during his visit to Cairo Egypt.
We shouldn’t really be having a debate on where because something is viewed “wrong” by one person, that it should be illegal for all persons, when the “crime” is a victimless crime, and when there is no other justification from the act to be considered “Criminal” just because it is “wrong”.
Our country was founded on liberty and freedom. We fought for these freedoms against tyranny and we won. We won by fighting for what we believe in, at least our brave and determined founding fathers did.
But what we have no is no different than what they fought against to achieve freedom for this nation.
If marijuana is a crime at all, it is a victimless crime. If we want to get Biblical, then it is obvious and certain that the Bible not only authorizes cannabis usage, but it clearly instructs man to use “every herb that bear seed”.. “for meat” Genesis 1:29
The Bible also authorizes the use of strong substances. Deuteronomy 14:26
The fascist that want to run our personal choices and our lives must be taken out of power! VOTE!!!!
The The Oklevueha Native American Church in Benjamin Utah had to fight for their freedom to practice their spiritual sacrament. It is well known that Native Americans for thousands of years have used peyote in their religious services, and they consider peyote one of the most sacred elements of their religion. I am not trying to speak for all Native Americans here, only that this is what I have understood from my limited prospective into this culture.
My wife and several sides of her family are Native American, the associated tribes are Cherokee, Bannock Shoshone, Paiute. My wife and daughters are part Cherokee. So I have some limited inside information to the practices that I am speaking about here. My father always raised me as if though we were in a Native American Tribe, when we would hunt, or gather as a family, we had native American roles and traditions that we took part in and it made feel feel closer to the creator and the created. I truly loved those times, and I miss my father deeply.
The way that this relates to xCannabis, is that in my European faith tradition, and the faith of my fathers which is Christianity, cannabis is a sacred ritual from the Bible.
I have demonstrated this several times in the past with books and well known rabbi’s who have translated the anointing of Moses ingredients from the Biblical passage of Exodus 30:23 to “cannabis” or “hemp”.
Refer to “The Living Torah” by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan (Author) .
You can see the pages that I am referring to in this video filmed by Roger Christie of the THC Ministry.
You can see a bit more about how cannabis has been used in religion (not just Christianity), for thousands of years.
herb bearing seed
But for me, Genesis 1:29 is enough for the religious argument.
It is obvious that Genesis 1:29 found in the very first page of the Bible authorized ALL herb that bear seed to be used for meat. You don’t need to be a botanist to know that cannabis is an herb that bears seed.
So what is all of the controversy over? Has cannabis (aka marijuana) ever killed anyone? No.
So why are these prohibitionists so intent on denying me my religious sacrament? Native Americans use mind altering substances in their religion legally, Catholics use fermented wine. Whats wrong with cannabis?
Here is something that Barack Obama recently said about religions and the free expression of religion.
If we have religious freedom in our country, then marijuana is legal to use in religious practices, as it has been for thousands of years.
