Evidence That Cannabis Contains Unique Dietary Essential Nutrients



Joel Munson·Published on Mar 24, 2013

The petition demanding the US government to start a clinical trial on the disease fighting ability of ingested cannabis chemicals on humans has over 1000 supporters. Click here to add your name-

I realize that a petition by itself isn't going to compel the corrupt federal workers to conduct a clinical trial on cannabis, but it is about awareness for the people.


The first ever clinical trial testing the ability of ingested cannabis chemicals to treat any disease in humans is now underway in Israel.

It was called kanep (like cannabis) and used as a spread on bread, somewhat like peanut butter is used in the U.S. today. Kanep was also used as one of a variety of fillings for pirukad, the Esto version of pierogies.

(Holy anointing oil) Exodus 30:23-24 ''Also take for yourself quality spices—five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane, five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.''


This recipe would have been limited in its use to Aaron and the Levite priests in-charge of the Ark of the Covenant, as the children wandered through the wilderness in search of their promised land. And they'd cash-in that promise just as soon as they were strong enough to take it away from the people who were currently, but temporarily, using it. So keeping ''the soldiers'' healthy would have been a priority.

A Cambridge bible scholar determine back in the late 1980s IIRC that this was another mistranslation of the Hebrew word kana bosom which was Latinized by the Romans as cannabis -- was written instead as calumus in the High German translations of Guttenberg's era, which is where the mistranslation of this particular word began. The above KJV translation of Exodus refers to it as ''sweet-smelling cane.''

- And it would seem that from the translation ''sweet-smelling'' that the cannabis used by our Forefathers and our Foremothers must have caught fire in the past. Somehow. Must been an accident, you reckon?
