"In 1936, a little known Polish Professor, Sara Benetowa (later Sula Benet), did extensive etymological research, that both the Aramaic and Hebrew versions of the Old Testament contain references to cannabis as a fiber for rope and cloth, as well as an incense. But most importantly, Benet found that hemp was the active ingredient in the Holy anointing oil of the ancient Hebrews, to be used only in the installation of priests and kings, and in the consecration of holy items, as described in Exodus (30: 22-33).

According to Benet's research, cannabis appears in ancient Hebrew texts spelled with the Hebrew letters: Kuph, Nun, Bet, Shin, Mem, translated into western alphabetic forms as qaneh-bosm, kaneh-bosm or kineboisin. The book of Exodus records the event of Moses receiving the instructions for making and distributing the hemp enriched holy oil, in the most auspicious tones.

Then the Lord said to Moses, "Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of qaneh-bosm, 500 shekels of cassia--all according to the sanctuary shekel--and a hind of olive oil. Make these into a sacred anointing oil. (Exodus 30: 22-33).

As one shekel equals approximately 16.37 grams, this means that the THC of over 9 pounds of flowering cannabis tops were extracted into a hind, about 6.5 liters of oil. The entheogenic effects of such a solution even when applied topically would undoubtedly have been intense.

In 1980, a wave of interest in Benet's work prompted numerous etymologists to agree with Benet's reinterpretation of the word qaneh-bosm in Exodus. That year, scholars at Jerusalem Hebrew University confirmed her work, noting that the qaneh-bosm was mistranslated in the King James version of Exodus 30:23 as calamus (Latimer, 1988). That same year, Weston La Barre also confirmed Benet's work, noting further that "the term kaneh-bosm occurs as early as both the Aramaic and the Hebrew versions of the Old Testament, hemp being used for rope in Solomon's temple and in priestly robes, as well as carried in Biblical caravans" In 1980, the slightly cynical scholar Allegro also noted that this "volatile substance in the heat of an enclosed oracular chamber would contribute to the delusion of omniscience through their intoxicating effect" (Allegro 1980).

Allegro was commenting on the practice by which the ancient Levites literally drenched themselves, their utensils and the inner chamber of the tent with the highly entheogenic holy oil, as well as burning it alongside other incenses on the altar, as a means of receiving an oracular trance in which the voice of Yahweh was heard.

Indeed, the Hebrew title Messiaha means the anointed one, and refers to the psychoactive cannabis ointment mentioned in exodus. The 'anointed ones', acting as shamans for the ancient Israelites, were in a sense the consciousness of the group or tribe. The "ideas" that came to them while they were high were heard as the voice of God, and through this 'inner voice' they guided the tribe in both war and peace. The holy anointing oil and incense was strictly used on the high-ranking members of the priestly Levites, "the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests" (Numbers 3:3).

"Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will be to a priesthood that will continue for generations to come"(Exodus 40:15).

"The high priest [is] the one among his brothers who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and who has been ordained to wear the priestly garments because he has been dedicated by the anointing oil of his God"(Leviticus 21:10-12)."

Benet demonstrated that the word for cannabis is kaneh-bosm, also rendered in traditional Hebrew as kaneh or kannabus. The root 'kan' in this construction means "reed" or "hemp", while bosm means "aromatic". This word appears five times in the Old Testament; in the books of Exodus, the Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.

The word kaneh-bosm has been mistranslated as calamus, a common marsh plant with little monetary value that does not have the qualities or value ascribed to kaneh-bosm. The error occurred in the oldest Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint in the third century BC, and was repeated in the many translations that followed.

If we don't defend our Constitution we will lose it. Join the Constitution Party. "We the people in order to form a more perfect government" need to get involved exercising our sovereignty to implement what we want and that is Democracy. We do it by having an ongoing 'army of one love' that can instantly put pressure on politicians and then recall them if they don't do the right thing. For instance, gas tax from gasoline is supposed to come back to the states to fix roads but instead it goes to the 'porkbelly' bills that are little more than payoffs to local campaign contributors. Also what ever happened to the Lottery money that was going to go our schools? Is it being ripped off or going somewhere it is not supposed to be. America's principals are what make her mighty but our politicians are turning her into some international thug run by a bunch of cowboy gangsters that factually are an embarrassment for most Americans. Instead of being of, by and for the People it is a Government against it's own people.

Normally we understand the 'checks and balances' feature of our government as the division of the three branches of government but unfortunately this has given us a sense of false security because we were not watching the most important feature of true Democracy. Article IV Section IV of the Constitution says the Federal Government will guarantee to the states a Republican form of Government. If you have read writings of John Adams and like company you know the concept of autonomous state powers was preeminent in their thinking. This erosion of states rights is a violation of the before mentioned article and therefore is sedition i.e. Interfering with the normal processes of government. It is also sedition to interfere with the peoples right to petition the government their grievances especially the form of court action. And since the guarantee is to the states the people hold the power to act in state court to initiate a legal action. No fool, what to speak of a bunch of lawyers framing the constitution would ever grant the abuser the exclusive right to act; the right is in the hands of the abused (violated). If there were a Federal move (because they think it is the law) to diminish state rights it would be absurd to think the Federal courts would rule fairly. It is my experience they move 'outside' judges to make rulings they favor (Utah Cen. Div.2:01CV-898G and 929J). Because the states (people) have the power this also gives the state the power to arrest and prosecute any of the agents of the Federal or 'secret government' as 'constitutional terrorists' guilty of sedition and some, treason, especially if there is any connection to 'foreign' elements although persons whose egos are so inflated they think they have a system that works better than the constitution (with the people involved more) and implement a plan to remove it are traitors in every sense of the word. If you have seen the short video on the suspension of the constitution we should understand that it has already happened at a covert level and the states must act now if we want to avoid a full-blown Nazi revival. This is not a Democrat-Republican battle it is a constitutional issue and the duty of all true Americans as stated in The Declaration of Independence. Duty means 'that which cannot be avoided'. And this is why we have formed the Constitution Party
