The plant name cannabis is of Semitic Hebrew origin.
Hebrew קְנֵה בֹּשֶׂם qěnēh bośem > קַנַּבּוֹס qannabbôs > Greek κανναβις kannabis > Latin cannabis > English
The Hebrew Bible mentions 'cannabis' in Exodus 30:23, God commands Moses to make a holy oil of myrrh, cinnamon, cannabis (qěnēh bośem) and cassia to anoint the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle (and thus God's Temple in Jerusalem).
The Hebrew Bible also mentions cannabis four more times in
Isaiah 43:24,
Jeremiah 6:20
Ezekiel 27:19 and Song of Songs 4:14.
The Biblical Hebrew term for 'cannabis' qěnēh bośem literally means 'reed of balm' and refers to the aromatic resin that the cannabis plant exudes - qěnēh (the noun construct form of qāneh) means a 'reed' or 'cane' and bośem means 'balm' or 'aromatic' resin. The Healing “Balm” of Gilead was made primarily of Cannabis.
Mistranslated as 'calamus', following an ancient misunderstanding in the Greek Septuagint translation. The Hebrew Bible was written across centuries well up to the 5th Century BCE. However centuries later, by the time the Septuagint was written around the 2nd Century BCE, the archaic Hebrew word for 'cannabis' qěnēh bośem appears to have already abbreviated into the later Hebrew form qannabbôs, which is attested in Post Biblical Hebrew literature. Thus, the Septuagint did not recognize the Hebrew expression 'reed of balm' and mistook it to refer to some unidentified plant. As a dynamic equivalent, the Septuagint rendered it as 'calamus' (Greek kalamos), which indeed is a 'balmy' (scented) reed. The calamus plant was known in Greek mythology and processed into an aphrodesiac. Even so, the original Hebrew term qěnēh bośem is an archaic form of the word qannabbôs and means 'cannabis'.
The dead sea scrolls confirm that Jesus and the Essenes ritually used cannabis.
In fact the very word Christian litterally means to be anointed with cannabis oil. When the Apostle Paul talks about the "anointing" or being in "Christ" it is a reference to Cannabis..
If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. (Prov. 29:12)
More lies have been told about G-ds creation (ERGO GOOD) cannabis than anything. It cures cancer, brings sanity to Alzhiemer patients, stops diabetes just to name a few... In Ezekial 34 the Lord says " I am against the Shepherds because they have not healed the sick. And he says he will require the life of His sheep at their hands. G-d is against the "shepherds" (christians who put themselves as rulers who outlaw G-ds medicine and Holy Plants.)
As troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests commit murder in the way by consent. (Hos. 6:9)
All pulbic officials and religeous leaders who have consented to the theft of property and life in the name of the war on cannabis are guilty of murder. To arrest someone and take their property / money is equivalent to murder. Dt 6..
We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people: Martin Luther King Jr.
=
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity": Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the later times, some shall … speak lies in hypocrisy … commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. ..... If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine. (Paul: 1 Timothy 4:1-6)
The WORD MEATS in the Greek Specifically Referes to Seeds or Herbs..... In the King James it was translated meats or food. The Greek is very Specific.
If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. (Prov. 29:12)
"Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. .... they be blind leaders of the blind, And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:1-3, 7, 12-14)
Judgement Day is comming and those who think they are righteous will be judged harshly. G-d says " I am against the shepherds." Ez 34...
One should not want to be a teacher because they will be judged more harshly. Judge NOT lest you be Judged...
Those who judged and look down upon those who in accordance with G-ds immutable law recieve his creation with thanksgiving for health will suffer what they have sown. Any one of the diseases that cannabis cures...Cancer, Alzheimers, high blood pressure, diabetes, Migraine Headaches, Glaucoma, just to name a FEW..
The bible teaches that in the last days some will speak lies in hypocrisy and call what G-d has created evil... 1 Tim 4.

It's a steam pot ready to blow! Our society has been full packed with lies, hypocrisies and catastrophes that more and more people are beginning to follow our way and are revealing the thugs for what they really are! I pray especially today for my grandmother, who's been in God's company 1 year and it brings me lots of tears to my eyes. She may have had her flaws but she was herself and we got along pretty well, even though in her last months her disease was starting to speak for herself. I think I'm not the only one that wants to see God do its work during the 2 conventions and really mess things up.

Its all starting to unravel
All the posts today. Its amazing how the light is shining on all the lies. There have been so very many. It is our time. We are the ones we have been waiting for !!!
Fact of the matter is...
I live on this earth.
Cannabis grows on this earth.
This means God put cannabis here for me to do as I see fit.
Who are you, or anybody else, to say I can't?
I'm sorry, but I'm almost becoming an anarchist hanging out here. It really gets you to think, ya know?
What right does George W. Bush, or anybody else for that matter, have to control ME?
Why do we have "the state"?
What does the state do for us? Sure, we have roads, and school systems, and standards for the meat that we buy, but couldn't the FREE market provide that stuff as well?
How many wars were started by small communities full of people just living their life, trying to provide for their family?
How many wars are started by the state?
I drive in fear of the police every day of my life. I've never harmed a human soul a day in my life.
What's wrong with that picture?
How do you stamp out a plant
that grows everywhere?
totally agree
and further, true freedom is the right to do whatever you want barring hurting someone else in the process.

Anti Christ
The word Christ is Christos...
It is NOT Jesus's name. Christos means Anointed... As we have seen the anointing oil is a highly psycoactive cannabis oil... Jesus was the Christ or Anointed.. Just like every high priest and Rabbi was anointed..
You couldn't be a high priest or Rabbi if you didn't use cannabis..
Anti-Christ means litterally against marijuana...
We can litterally say that the Republicans , McCain, Huckabee are the spirit of Anti-Christ...
Ezek 34: 4 “Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, the diseased you have not healed, the broken you have not bound up, the scattered you have not brought back, nor have you sought for the lost; but with force and with severity you have dominated them
“Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand My sheep from them and make them cease from feeding sheep. So the shepherds will not feed themselves anymore, but I will deliver My flock from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them.”’”

Okay, you made your point. You're an avid pot fan. Anything else?
Legalizing Cannabis will take down the NWO..
G-d is a bigger Fan of Cannabis than I am...Be Careful, lest you blaspheme the Holy Spirit who comes through the anointing. This sin cannot be forgiven..
It is NO COINCIDENCE THAT Cannabis was outlawed in 1913, the Fed came into existence in 1913...
They go together...
No, I've hardly gotten started.
We have not covered the uses of Cannabis as a fuel...
5 times more efficient than sugar in making ethanol.
Henry Ford built the car to run on ethanol from Cannabis..
It requires no fertilizer and replentishes the soil rather than depleting it..
Not even close to being finished... In Fact, I'm just getting warmed up..
Anti means anointed or
Anti means anointed or against! it has two meanings.
i never heard of christos meaning anointed but whatever!
to be anti christ is to be anointed or to take ones place...
if you take the place of god you are anti christ. or anointed

Christ Χριστός (Khristós)
This is the main problem with Christians... Ignorance...
"Study to show thyself approved unto G-d, a workman that needeth not be ashamed.. Rightly dividing the word of truth..."
Christos is the Greek for Anointed... Look it up in the original greek in an interlinear bible and strongs concordance.. Or Wiki...
Christ is the English term for the Greek Χριστός (Khristós) meaning "the anointed".[1] In the (Greek) Septuagint version of the Old Testament, Khristós was used to translate the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ,) (Messiah), meaning "[one who is] anointed."
The ancient recipe for this anointing oil, recorded in the Old Testament book of Exodus (30: 22-23) included over nine pounds of flowering cannabis tops, Hebrew "kaneh-bosm" B, extracted into a hind (about 6.5 litres) of olive oil, along with a variety of other herbs and spices. The ancient chosen ones were literally drenched in this potent cannabis holy oil.
So when Paul or John says "In Christ" he means in the anointing..
As the New Testament's John explains:
. . . you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. . . . the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit - just as it has taught you, remain in him." (1 John 2: 27). L
The "Holy Spirit" comes through the anointing..
The Baptism of Fire is a ancient ritual involving inhaling the smoke from the incence.... smoking pot..
Anti-Means against.... Christ means Anointing...
Anti-Christ.. Against the Anointing..
The Anointing is Psychoactive Cannabis Oil ..
Anyone against Cannabis is of the Spirit of Anti -Christ..
Jesus Can't Return until Marijuana is made legal..

Hebrew U. Researchers Find Cannabis Can Strengthen Bones
by Ezra HaLevi

An article on the Hebrew University research appeared this week in the prestigious American PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S.A.) journal. The research team, headed by Prof. Itai Bab, worked in Hebrew University's bone laboratory.
Substances produced mainly in the brain, called endocannabinoids, are made of fatty acids and exist in the bone and elsewhere. The substances bind to and activate two receptors - CB1 in the nervous system and CB2 in the immune ....

God also said you can sell your daughter in to slavery
or keep slaves as long as they are from a different nation,
stone you to death if you pick up a stick on the sabbath and burn your child to death if she speaks offensively.
So if you think whatever is in the Bible is OK to follow, then you may as well use cannabis...
What would Jesus Do?
Cannabis is holy in Budhism, Doaism, Hinduism, Zorastrianism, to name a few... Prohibition is unconstitutional.
ITs not just O.K... It is a commandment... It is the Christians who "murder" and imprison people. Cannabis has never harmed anyone. This is a stupid non-sequitor argument of a fool..
Growing or possessing cannabis harms no one... Selling someone into slavery does. Plus Cannabis is in the NT. We just havent gotten there YET..... Your comparison just shows how you are willing to defend a keeping medicine from those in pain (torture) because your ego can't accept that you are a accomplis to murder and torture. And, that your Religion is a "white washed tomb full of dead mens bones."
Cannabis is the only known cure for Alzhiemers and the only substance to regrow nerve cells. Your post is freaking ignorant..And, not a Christian.. "I desire mercy more than sacrifice...

Thou shalt not bear false witness
If we want to focus on the anti-Christian nature of the cannabis prohibition we need only recognize this one fact:
The US Govt. claims that cannabis "has no medical value", and therefore it is justified in classifing it as a Schedule I substance (under the controlled substances act) -- when this very same government has filed for and been awarded a patent (#6,630,707), based on research done at the National Institute of Health, on the effective use of cannabinoids for the prevention and treatment of a wide variety of diseases including auto-immune disorders, stroke, trauma, HIV dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimers.
Remember, this patent was awarded, not by, but to the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, and completely contradicts the position that cannabis has no current medical applications (as stated by the FDA -- which is a dept. under the direction of the HHS).
Insistence on maintaining a Schedule I classification for cannabis amounts to an out and out lie.

Is your Church activly working to reform marijuana laws?
I highly doubt it... If not it is luke warm and co-operating with the spirit of anti-christ...
But, your generally right .... I'll rephrase... 99.99% of Christians are apostate hypocrits. IF you give it money you are sharing in its "reward'.
Doesn't the bible say that with the anointing and prayer the sick are healed.. OR WITH MARIJUANA AND PRAYER...
Is your church anointing people with Cannabis? Is your church working hard to reform the laws so it can distribute cannabis to the sick? No!
I submit that you and your house are not worshipin the Lord because that would involve Cannabis.. Not necessarily you using it and certainly not kids or teenagers but none the less. It would involve cannabis for adults over 30 as the NT teaches..

You're forgetting one thing
I believe in freedom. The Bible is clear that God created man with freedom, but also with a commandment to not eat of one specific tree. All other fruit and herbs were legal.
However, you're forgetting one thing.
After the sin of Adam, the earth was cursed. Thorns and thistles began to grow. I believe the DNA of man, animals and plants were corrupted by sin; so now, not all of God's creation is as perfect as it once was, even as man is not perfect. We have been corrupted and so has just about everything else. Governments become corrupt, businesses become corrupt, religions become corrupt. Publishers of Bibles now publish corrupt Bibles (everything but the KJV). The only politician I know that has not shown much corruption is Ron Paul. But even he is not perfect; just so much better (because of his great self-discipline and submission to the Constitution and Biblical principles) than the rest that he makes me want to sacrifice just about anything to get him into the presidency.
Be careful of the way you treat some of God's creation. There is much corruption. Proof is the fact that the Bible foretells of a time when Jesus Christ will return to the earth and set of His kingdom. He will rule the world from Jerusalem. This will be called the "times of refreshing." A child will lead about a lion and play at the hole of as cockatrice (very poisonous serpent). Right now, it would be certain death to do so because of the corruption in all of nature.
To use your freedom to experiment with drugs regardless of their source to get high is selfish and will result in becoming a slave to that desire. Wise people avoid slavery of any type. David said in Psalm 119:133 "Order my steps in Thy Word and let not any iniquity have dominion over me."
I believe people should be free to become enslaved to whatever they choose to be enslaved to; but they need to be taught that their freedom can be turned to slavery if they use their freedom unwisely. As Dr. Paul has said, in so many words on numerous ocassions, people should be free to experience the results of bad judgment as long as they do not trample on someone else's rights or property.
Cannabis doesn't have thorns..
And, since G-d called cannabis Holy in Exodus and was mad because "You have not brought me any cannabis." Your entire argument is invalid...
And since we know that Jesus used marijuana in his ministry your argument ignores the facts of scripture and twists the simple words of truth...

If what you say about the fruit being eaten making things corrupt and plants and such being changed. Would'nt you have to say the same thing about the bible? It was written after the fruit was eaten. Just thought.
GOD SPECIFICALLY CALLED CANNABIS GOOD
IGNORAMUS..
MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY 4 TIMES IN THE BIBLE....
AND G-D IS ANGRY BECAUSE "YOU HAVE NOT BROUGHT ME ANY CANNABIS." Jerimiah..... It is in the text above and below....
You can't call what G-d has called good and holy and specifically said is holy bad and be a friend of G-d .... You are an enemy of G-d. Period..
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.. Because You have Rejected knowledge I will reject you..."
"If the king listens to lies then all his servants are evil..." Prov 29..
Your ignorance makes you evil and an enemy of G-d..
So you are ignorant of the bible...
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." - Plato
Dalelegan, great quote! Thanks for your well written post!
Cannabis is an herb. In Eden, as per the Bible, Adam and Eve were told not to eat of the FRUIT of the Tree of Knowledge. In the beginning, God saw that which he had created and called it Good. He lamented creating Man, because he tended to pervert and corrupt what God created. Some things haven't changed at all.
Still, great Plato quotation!

You're buying into the myth
You're buying into the myth that man is inherently corrupt. The doctrine of 'original sin' is the religious establishment's 'big stick', used to control the masses, and our government takes full advantage of that. Why do you think the neocons play the 'God' angle against the 'axis of evil'? Ayn Rand said it best in Atlas Shrugged:
"Your code demands that he practice a good which it defines as impossible for him to practice. It demands, as his first proof of virtue, that he accept his own depravity without proof. It demands that he start, not with a standard of value, but with a standard of evil, which is himself, by means of which he is then to define the good: the good is that which he is not.
It does not matter who then becomes the profiteer on his renounced glory and tormented soul, a mystic God with some incomprehensible design or any passer-by whose rotting sores are held as some inexplicable claim upon him—it does not matter, the good is not for him to understand, his duty is to crawl through years of penance, atoning for the guilt of his existence to any stray collector of unintelligible debts, his only concept of a value is a zero: the good is that which is non-man.
The name of this monstrous absurdity is Original Sin.
A sin without volition is a slap at morality and an insolent contradiction in terms: that which is outside the possibility of choice is outside the province of morality. If man is evil by birth, he has no will, no power to change it; if he has no will, he can be neither good nor evil; a robot is amoral. To hold, as man’s sin, a fact not open to his choice is a mockery of morality. To hold man’s nature as his sin is a mockery of nature. To punish him for a crime he committed before he was born is a mockery of justice. To hold him guilty in a matter where no innocence exists is a mockery of reason. To destroy morality, nature, justice and reason by means of a single concept is a feat of evil hardly to be matched. Yet that is the root of your code.
Do not hide behind the cowardly evasion that man is born with free will, but with a “tendency” to evil. A free will saddled with a tendency is like a game with loaded dice. It forces man to struggle through the effort of playing, to bear responsibility and pay for the game, but the decision is weighted in favor of a tendency that he had no power to escape. If the tendency is of his choice, he cannot possess it at birth; if it is not of his choice, his will is not free.
What is the nature of the guilt that your teachers call his Original Sin? What are the evils man acquired when he fell from a state they consider perfection? Their myth declares that he ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge—he acquired a mind and became a rational being. It was the knowledge of good and evil—he became a moral being. He was sentenced to earn his bread by his labor—he became a productive being. He was sentenced to experience desire—he acquired the capacity of sexual enjoyment. The evils for which they damn him are reason, morality, creativeness, joy—all the cardinal values of his existence. It is not his vices that their myth of man’s fall is designed to explain and condemn, it is not his errors that they hold as his guilt, but the essence of his nature as man. Whatever he was—that robot in the Garden of Eden, who existed without mind, without values, without labor, without love —he was not man.
Man’s fall, according to your teachers, was that he gained the virtues required to live. These virtues, by their standard, are his Sin. His evil, they charge, is that he’s man. His guilt, they charge, is that he lives.
They call it a morality of mercy and a doctrine of love for man."

i take it you don't have kids, doc
wanna see original sin in practice....kids are a good example. Watch a child do something wrong like push or hit their sibling for the first time. Even before you have taught them that it is wrong to do so...their little heads will whip around to see if they have been caught...the guilt is already there..Before they have been taught the action was wrong. I'm not trying to be critical...just pointing out that man chooses evil before good from the very beginning. Explain how our govt is so corrupt if man starts from original "good" or even original "neutral." By the way im a huge tombstone fan and i hope that is your real name....cause it would be wicked awesome...lol..just my take...not myth...truth.

Thanks for the response. It
Thanks for the response. It was rational and well thought out, and wasn't the usual fundamentalist ravings! Actually, I do have kids, and I understand what you're saying, but I take a different view. Of course we have an innate sense of right and wrong (with the exception of sociopaths etc), but that doesn't mean we are by nature 'evil,' or corrupt, or 'sinful'. We can't be born with guilt, or 'sin'. How can we be born guilty when we haven't done anything yet? The game is that they (religions/governments) make so many rules and laws that it's impossible to be human and alive without breaking some of them. That's what the unreasonable rules are there for! Make a code that is impossible to live by, and then they've got you. You'll go around apologizing for your very existance and accept any kind of abuse of your innate human rights because of your 'guilt'. Go back and read the Rand material again. It says it better than I can. I, of course, defend your right to disagree, though.

you refer to cannabis as a drug. well, you are correct in saying that if you consider that tylenol is also a drug. are not there those who are addicted to legal drugs? so, my point is, that cannabis is illegal making it "bad" in your mind, yet, it is HUMANS that made cannabis illegal, not GOD.

Tylenol is a drug...Cannabis is not...
Pharmokia means something concocted by man...
okay dale-
i was making the point that the word drug is bullshit!!! just a label used to regulate, confuse and create fear in the hearts of men so that they believe they can't figure it out for themselves but instead rely on doctors, drug companies and inevitably the government to tell them it is safe. all fear all fear.- also, "drugs" come from herbs/plants and are then artificially recreated, so in that respect, tylenol is a drug.
