The video was posted by David Vose. I believe few have ever seen evidence, let alone proof, that Cannabis is in the bible. The word Cannabis today, may actually be derived from the Hebrew word used in scripture. The actual word cannabis is literally in the New Testament as well. The City Jesus did his first Miracle in was called Cana, that is the word we get Cannabis from. Cana is a Greek Transliteration of Cannabis. This was anciently known as the City of Cannabis. Watch this video it may change your whole perspective on Jesus. If cannabis were discovered in the Amazon rainforest today, people would be clambering to make as much use as they could of all of the potential benefits of the plant. Unfortunately, it carries with it a long history of being a persecuted plant. Dr. Donald Abrams Chief of Hematology Oncology at San Francisco General Hospital Approximately 106,000 Americans die yearly from prescribed medications, according to the American Medical Association. Even more frightening, preventable medical errors account for a staggering 400,000 deaths in the U.S. each year and is considered the 3rd leading cause of death. Its equivalent to 2,000 commercial jets taking off each year knowing that they dont have enough fuel to complete their journeys, notes Peter Edelstein M.D. Would you allow your spouse to board one of those planes? Your friend? A stranger? Good question. Increasingly, people in the West are seeking out treatments that work harmoniously with the body, instead of against it in other words, theyre walking away from the medical establishment and all its mishaps, mistakes and pharmaceutical drugs. A case in point is cannabis, especially in its raw form. A Rich History Marijuana is one of those plants that, to many, conjures visions of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raids and hippies in a drugged-out daze. But it wasnt always this way. The ancient Chinese knew of marijuanas pain-relieving and mind-altering effects, yet it was not widely employed for its psychoactive properties; instead it was cultivated as hemp for the manufacture of rope and fabric. Likewise, the ancient Greeks and Romans used hemp to make rope and sails. In some other places, however, marijuanas intoxicating properties became important. In India, for example, the plant was incorporated into religious rituals. During the Middle Ages, its use was common in Arab lands; in 15th-century Iraq it was used to treat epilepsy; in Egypt it was primarily consumed as an inebriant. After Napoleons occupation of Egypt, Europeans began using the drug as an intoxicant. During the slave trade, it was transported from Africa to Mexico, the Caribbean and South America. Marijuana gained a following in the U.S. only relatively recently. During the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, cannabis was freely available without a prescription for a wide range of ailments, including migraine and ulcers, Roger A. Nicoll and Bradley N. Alger remind us in Scientific American. Even American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson declared: Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country. So what happened? In 1937, the United States Congress decided against the recommendation of the American Medical Association to pass the Marijuana Tax Act. The legislation essentially banned the use of marijuana by making it excessively expensive and difficult to secure. It has been downhill ever since. That is, until the last few years where legalization of marijuana has exploded in the U.S., for both recreational and medicinal uses. For our purposes here, were going to look at the health benefits of the plant which are quite impressive. An Essential Vegetable It [cannabis] has captured these molecules that help our bodies regulatory system be more effective. The bottom line is its a dietary essential that helps all 210 cell types function more effectively. I dont even refer to it as medicine anymore, strictly as a dietary essential. Dr. William L. Courtney It may be a stretch for some to recognize raw cannabis as the next in-demand superfood, but Dr. William L. Courtney, a physician with extensive medical training who specializes in the dietary uses of cannabis, presents a provocative case. When you heat or age cannabis, Dr. Courtney believes that you lose 99% of the benefit cannabis provides. In contrast, if you consume it raw, youll reap the full value of the plant. Plus, raw cannabis is non-psychoactive, so you wont experience a high an important point for those who would like to utilize the healing aspects of cannabis without feeling drugged or off-center. This means you can also consume a much higher amount of health-promoting compounds with raw cannabis juice compared to if it was smoked or extracted as an oil, according to Dr. Courtney. Terpenes, essential oils found in cannabis which give the plant its unique aroma, are particularly compelling. A study (Taming THC Potential Cannabis Synergy and Phytocannabinoidterpenoid Entourage Effects) published in the British Journal of Pharmacology states that terpenoids are, pharmacologically versatile: they are lipophilic, interact with cell membranes, neuronal and muscle ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, G-protein coupled (odorant) receptors, second messenger systems and enzymes. The researchers explored the powerful effect terpenes exert in animal tests. Limonene was found to increase serotonin in the prefrontal cortex and dopamine in the hippocampus region of the brain both of which help fend-off depression and feelings of stress. Moreover, limonene induces apoptosis (cell death) of breast cancer cells and demonstrated exceptional radical scavenging properties. Its also remarkably bio-available, rapidly metabolized and is highly non-toxic and non-sensitizing. Myrcene is anti-inflammatory and an effective sleep aid, while pinene acts as a bronchodilator and broad spectrum antibiotic including the destruction of lethal MRSA bacteria. Pinene also curbs inflammation. Linalool is a sedative and anticonvulsant. Caryophyllene is antimalarial, anti-inflammatory and useful in treating duodenal ulcers. Nerolidol inhibits fungal growth and protozoal parasites. Phytol increases GABA expression, resulting in a calming effect. These are just a handful of the 200 varieties of terpenes found in cannabis. How to Enjoy More Raw Cannabis in Your Life For a daily dose, Dr. Courtney advises juicing fifteen cannabis leaves and two buds, which is then added to a small amount of fruit or vegetable juice that is consumed throughout the day. If you would like to learn more about juicing cannabis, this article offers tips and suggestions. Keep in mind that juicing improperly may create heat, which will cause THC to form. Jeffrey C. Raber, Ph.D. also recommends having the strain of marijuana youre using tested at a reliable and accurate lab so you know exactly what you are getting.

Dude, that's like a $100 smoothie ! lol You know the prices? Must be doing some on the side. LOL "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Man, that was my first thought too ! "Honest, April 15th is the real April Fool's Day". "The almighty Dollar ain't worth a buck". "White Lives Matter Most if you're white" Doug Scheidt
Both of you should be punished.
I can't drink. Not one drop. And all narcotics are out for me too. Can't touch Rx painkillers. But, for medicinal purposes, not recreational, I can abide a couple puffs as needed. So long as it is not an idol or a mere escape, it can be very beneficial. Amazing stuff, B! What yawl think -- Cana in the Bible means cannabis, can it really be that simple? So they're therapeutically juicing it which is totally non-psychoactive because the plant only contains THC acid, which only becomes THC when it's heated or aged? That's pretty wild. Thus eating pot raw would do nothing for your head? Congrats to all who know the price of pot here. Got me some old stuff that's lost its power here -- should I plant the seeds and raise some indoors? How long does it take to flower. _____________________________________________________________ USA! USA! USA!

I don't think that's correct. THC is the psychoactive component, whereas cannibidiol is the medicinal one. Don't think heating it makes a difference. After a severe accident in late 2003, not my fault, I have had severe tinnitus. Everyone suggested smoking dope (illegal in Indiana), but my buddy Greg recommended vaping the cannibidiol made from the kind of hemp that didn't have THC in it. Sounded great, looked into it, but I saw an article here, I think, that the FDA has restricted the distribution of that. Must've worked. :( Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. Apparently it's a product -- search BUY CBD and let us know if it helps you please. I have a friend with very severe Tinnitus and nothing's ever helped him. There are also webpages on how to extract CBD. Apparently the indica variety of cannabis has more. Mebbe you live in or near a state where you can buy or grow some? That's a doctor alleging that unheated fresh pot doesn't get you high. Either he's dead wrong or trying to help legalization along or something. _____________________________________________________________ USA! USA! USA!

==================================== Its a load of shit. U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
That too can be comprehended under the word "amazing" :-)
