Hello to all ! Greetings From Poland. very Good Page !
Dear trumuddesurry,
Thanks for joining in.
I did freeanointing.org in an attempt to return the Holy Oil of God as described in Exodus 30:23. It also occurs in Revelations 7 as the return of the seal of God and the Holy incense. It is foretold that there will be 144,000 anointed in Jerusalem. This is a highly Ancient Christian Discussion. If you have read my website you would understand that. Still may God bless.

Greetings all,
This was sent to me from Justin Kander regarding a man in Canada who is curing folks of cancer and various ailments with hemp oil. It certainly demonstrates or alludes to the curative properties of cannabis. Although hemp oil is not the Holy Oil it was an ingredient of the Holy Oil. I can only imagine the curative properties with all the herbs mentioned in Exodus 30:23 if it was ever studied. The Tree of Life is meant to be for the healing of the nations. I am not fully aware of the claims of this person, but it is similar to many accounts of the curative properties of cannabis that I have heard. It is a shame that such curative research is not being done in the United States, but then you could go to prison for that here.
Isn’t it time to free the Holy Oil of God?
Cheers
Brother Terry
Justin Kander states:
Cannabis has been one of mankind primary medicines for thousands of years (http://www.ukcia.org/culture/history/chrono.php). In its smoked form, cannabis can alleviate pain, nausea, and a multitude of diseases, including glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and asthma (http://jackherer.com/chapter06.html). Even the pharmaceutical companies have taken notice of cannabis exceptional properties, and have tried to replicate the natural plant with synthetic substitutes (which work far less effectively) (http://www.montananorml.org/med-cancer.php3). The true medicinal potential of cannabis is revolutionary, as it may very well be able to cure the majority of serious diseases, and the first stages of a dramatic reformation are already in motion (Run From the Cure).
The man who is leading the way is named Rick Simpson. He discovered that by extracting and concentrating the essential oils from cannabis, a powerful substance called hemp oil is formed. Hemp oil is also known as cannabis extract oil. For almost the past six years, Rick Simpson has been treating people with hemp oil, and has reported curing cancer, diabetes, pain disorders, and other diseases (Run From the Cure). According to Simpson, hemp oil is even effective in curing cancers deemed terminal by the medical community (Run From the Cure). To the majority of people, these claims seem outrageous, but with a small amount of research and some simple logic, it all makes sense.
First and foremost, it is important to understand the man who started this all. Rick Simpson was born in Springhill, Nova Scotia on November 30, 1949. He went to work at the age of 16, and began a career in power engineering at 18. Simpson continued with this line of work for the rest of his life, until in 1997 when he suffered a work related injury, and was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome (Rick Simpson). As all people are when they go through the medical system, Simpson was prescribed a number of drugs to alleviate his condition, although none of them worked at all; in fact, they worsened his condition considerably (Rick Simpson). In late 1998, Rick watched an episode of he Nature of Things where he saw Dr. David Suzuki interviewing medical marijuana patients who had achieved astounding results. This prompted him to try medical marijuana for himself, and he found that smoking cannabis did more for his condition than any of the pills he was taking. Despite the effectiveness of his self-administered medication, no doctor would give Rick a legal prescription for cannabis. They said it was bad for the lungs so Rick asked his family doctor if it would be better to extract the essential oils from cannabis, as that would be a way to bypass smoking. Despite Rick suggestion, the doctor still would not prescribe him cannabis. Until 2001, Rick continued taking prescription medicines until his doctor told him they did not have anything else to try on him, and there was nothing more they could do. It was then that Rick started using hemp oil as his only medication, and it improved his condition dramatically. In late 2002, Rick was diagnosed with skin cancer, which was present on three parts of his body; two patches on the face and one on the chest. In January 2003, Rick had one area of skin cancer removed surgically, and the other two parts were scheduled to be removed at a later date. Shortly after the surgery, Rick remembered a radio show he had heard in 1975 about how THC killed cancer cells, and since Rick oil was concentrated THC, he decided to try it on himself. He applied hemp oil to bandages and put them directly on to the skin cancers, and in four days, the cancers were gone. Excited, Rick went back to his doctor office to inform them that he had cured himself with hemp oil, but the reaction was alarm (Rick Simpson). The receptionist and doctor, David Forsthner, didnt even want to hear more about a patient who had cured their own cancer. The negative reaction did not hinder Rick in his pursuit. He figured that if hemp oil worked topically, it might also work internally. Subsequently, he tested it on willing participants and saw that it cured internal cancers as well, and it was not necessary that hemp oil only be applied to the skin (Rick Simpson). Through further observation of hemp oil effects, Simpson has found that hemp oil eases pain better than morphine, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, regulates weight, controls diabetes, heals burns and wounds quickly with no scar tissue, and is effective at treating a myriad of conditions related to defective cells (Run From the Cure).
Rick Simpson activities have gotten attention from the media. In October 2006, Global National News aired a story about Rick activities. Two months later, another story aired on Global Maritimes Evening News (Run From the Cure). Rick also gained publicity from his brush with the law. On August 3, 2005 the RCMP raided Simpson home, arrested him, and took 1,190 cannabis plants (http://www.amherstdaily.com/index.cfm?sid=61850&sc=58). However, this number is false, and the number actually seized was 1,620 (Rick Simpson).
This led to a trial in September 2007, when Simpson went to court for one count of possession of less than 30 grams of cannabis, possession of less than three kilograms of tetrahydrocannabinol for the purpose of trafficking, and unlawful production of cannabis. He was found guilty, but Judge Felix Cacchione did not tell him to specifically stop distributing his medicine (Rick Simpson). However, when discussing the possible sentence, Rick had this to say:
“It may be better to lock me up right now. As soon as I get home I’m going to treat my patients. I’m going to grow that plant until the day I die, so I might as well be put in jail today. I can’t stop in the middle of (treatment). People’s lives are at stake here.” (http://www.amherstdaily.com/index.cfm?sid=63475&sc=58).
Simpson was scheduled to return to court for sentencing on November 30, 2007. However, while awaiting sentencing, Simpson was arrested again for trafficking THC, and was remanded for four days until being released. When Simpson was sentenced for his first charges, he only received one day in custody, which was deemed served by his court appearance, and a two thousand dollar fine. Judge Cacchione explained his decision, saying, “Mr. Simpson has a sincere belief he has a cure with this oil and should be commended, but in reality, he broke the law.” The only reason he did not discharge Simpson was because he thought it would send the wrong message, in that if you do not like a law, you can freely break it without any penalty (http://www.amherstdaily.com/index.cfm?sid=107274&sc=58). In early 2008, Rick went to court again for one count of trafficking THC, and was sentenced to eight days in custody by Judge Carole Beaton, which like in the first case, was deemed served by his remand time. Due to the fact there was no profit involved in Simpson’s activities, he had endured two separate drug charges and got off a free man on the same day of his sentencing (http://www.amherstdaily.com/index.cfm?sid=118088&sc=58). It must be acknowledged that Simpson never sold any hemp oil; he provided it all at his expense, as further exemplified by his court trials (he would not have gotten off if he was selling the oil). He also refused to stop providing hemp oil to patients even after his first arrest. If Simpson’s results were not legitimate, why would he have spent so much money giving away hemp oil, and continued to do so even in the face of harsh penalties?
Simpson has also ran for federal office twice, representing the Cumberland-Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley in the House of Commons. However, he was denied the right to participate in the Truro Chamber of Commerce political debate, despite legally filing his nomination papers and complying with other regulations (http://www.amherstdaily.com/index.cfm?sid=174971&sc=58)
Unfortunately, there has not been enough collective attention to make the public widely aware of hemp oil. Despite this, there are a growing number of people working to spread the message of the medicine. Rick Dwyer, former President of the Maccan Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, attempted to use the organization to promote hemp oil. Dwyer became aware of Rick Simpson when a woman at the Branch told him that Simpson had cured her of cancer. Naturally, Dwyer was interested and contacted Simpson, who showed Dwyer all the support for his work as well as introduced him to a few patients. After seeing this, Dwyer became an immediate supporter of the oil and contacted the Legion Command about coming to look further in to the matter, but they refused. Dwyer and other members of the Legion took it upon themselves to contact politicians, health practitioners, and law enforcement officials to come to a meeting at the Maccan Branch to discuss hemp oil and be presented with scientific, medical, and human evidence regarding it. The day the meeting was planned to commence, Legion Command shut down the branch and suspended Dwyer for trying to promote the illegal medicine (http://www2.canada.com/globaltv/national/story.html?id=70817eb6-a515-4af7-bf0d-3050413f0ebc). Dwyer had an especially strong reason to support hemp oil, as he had seen it save his father, Ed Dwyer. Ed had lung cancer and on June 25, 2006 was given only 24 hours to live. Although he had such a short amount of time left, he took hemp oil and survived (Run From the Cure).
Another man, James LeBlanc, is one of many walking testimonials. After considerable ordeal, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer on May 18th, 2005. Over the next few months, LeBlanc went through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments, and on November 30th, the cancer was virtually gone. Tragically, the cancer was found to have returned in October 2006, and this time it had spread throughout LeBlanc’s lymph node system, and it was inoperable and untreatable. In November, LeBlanc was given two months to live, and the only thing that could be done was to prescribe him pain medication to help him cope with the disease. It was in December that LeBlanc became aware of hemp oil, and was brought to Amherst to meet Rick Simpson, although he was initially skeptical of the endeavor. After listening to Rick, LeBlanc’s hopes were raised and he started the oil on January 1st, 2007. On April 4th, LeBlanc had his first CT scan since starting the oil and received the results on April 24th. The doctor presented James with extremely good news; not only was the cancer not spreading, but it was dying from the outside inward. By late July, the second CT scan showed that only a small bit of cancer remained, and by the final CT scan in December, the cancer was completely gone (PhoenixTears). James LeBlanc’s case exemplifies the full potential of hemp oil, and the evidence shows that if this medicine was used at the first signs of cancer, nobody would ever have to die from it again. Keep in mind that LeBlanc is not an exception; Rick has cured many people of terminal cancer. In all cancers, both terminal and non-terminal, Rick has reported a virtual 100% success rate in curing people who have had little or no chemotherapy, and 80% for those who have experienced extensive chemotherapy (Rick Simpson). As is known, chemotherapy kills healthy and cancerous cells, and there is a limit that every human has as to how much they can take before there is no going back, even with hemp oil (http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=186).
Hemp oil can be made by anyone with access to the proper materials. Ideally, hemp oil should be made from high quality cannabis indica, as indica is good for relaxation and sleeping while sativa is better for energy. It is always better for someone with a serious disease to be resting instead of moving around. Technically any cannabis can be used, but low potency cannabis creates less oil. From a pound of high quality buds, about two ounces of hemp oil can be made, and this is enough to cure most cancers. The process of making hemp oil is similar to making other types of cannabis extract oils, although Simpson went through many pounds of cannabis perfecting his process. One starts by placing the starting materials in a plastic bucket and filling it with a solvent (Simpson uses naphtha, but other solvents such as 99% isopropyl alcohol can be utilized). The mixture is then repeatedly crushed with a wooden stick or similar device, and doing this extracts the essential oils from the plant matter. The first wash extracts approximately 80% of the cannabinoids, and a second wash retrieves the other 20%. The solvent-oil mix should then be poured through a coffee filter in to a clean container. From there, the solvent needs to be boiled off, which can be done by utilizing a rice cooker. After the solvent is almost finished evaporating, a few drops of water should be added to the mixture, as this helps facilitate the final evaporation and protect the oil from too much heat. After this, the almost-completed oil should be put on a light heating device until all activity on the surface of the oil is gone. At this point, the medicine is ready to be used, and should be contained in a bottle or plastic syringe. The only potential danger of making hemp oil is the fumes released when the solvent is evaporating; if a spark occurs in the work area, a fire can start. This danger can be avoided by making the oil carefully and ensuring that there are no open flames or sparks (PhoenixTears). If hemp oil was produced commercially, there would be no danger whatsoever.
Rick Simpson’s results have shown that cannabis truly is the cure for cancer. In addition, there have been numerous scientific studies showing that THC has anti-cancer properties (see links at the end of the article), so it is not that far a leap to suggest that highly concentrated THC would have exceptionally strong cancer killing effects. In addition, hemp oil is not just THC. The cannabis plant contains over sixty therapeutic cannabinoids, all of which are present in concentrated form in hemp oil (http://www.medicalmarijuanainformation.com/incanada). THC and all the cannabinoids work together in synergy to produce hemp oil’s miraculous results. Also, in the history of cannabis smoking, there has not been one case of lung cancer ever reported, despite the possibility that cannabis smoke does contain as many or more carcinogens than cigarette smoke (http://www.webmd.com/lung-cancer/news/20060523/pot-smoking-not-linked-to-lung-cancer). Therefore, it is logical that there could be something inherently counteracting the carcinogens within cannabis, and stopping cancer from ever forming.
I have been in contact with Rick Simpson for almost a year now, and from my perspective, he is the most honest and reputable man I have ever spoken to. In the course of my hemp oil research, I have also talked with doctors, cannabis dispensary owners, other hemp oil distributors, James LeBlanc, and Jack Herer, who strongly supports Simpson and has even dedicated a page to him on his website (http://jackherer.com/rick.html). Hemp oil is the means to achieving cannabis legalization, and much more importantly, the key to ending the suffering of millions of people around the world and improving the quality of life for every human on this planet.

“Cell studies performed by researchers at Madrid’s Complutense University have demonstrated that high concentrations of THC can induce cell death in a variety of brain tumor cells, without damaging the surrounding healthy cells. Brain tumour cells such as glioma and neuroblastoma were induced to die upon exposure to THC in a process called “apoptosis”, a “self-programmed” death. In contrast, healthy brain cells were not harmed even after 15 days exposure to extremely high concentrations of THC.”

PHOENIX – The Arizona Supreme Court says a man isn’t entitled to use a state religious-freedom law to overturn his conviction for possessing marijuana while driving.
The state high court’s unanimous ruling Tuesday rejects Danny Ray Hardesty’s argument that he’s entitled to use the same defense allowed for peyote use in Native American sacramental rights.

Hemp: DEA Has Spent $175 Million Eradicating “Ditch Weed” Plants That Don’t Get You High
In the past two decades, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has spent at least $175 million in direct spending and grants to the states to eradicate feral hemp plants, popularly known as “ditch weed.” The plants, the hardy descendants of hemp plants grown by farmers at the federal government’s request during World War II, do not contain enough THC, the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, to get people high.
According to figures from the DEA’s Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program, it has seized or destroyed 4.7 billion feral hemp plants since 1984. That’s in contrast to the 4.2 million marijuana plants it has seized or destroyed during the same period. In other words, 98.1% of all plants eradicated under the program were ditch weed, of which it is popularly remarked that “you could smoke a joint the size of a telephone pole and all you would get is a headache and a sore throat.”
While the DEA is spending millions of tax payer dollars, including $11 million in 2005, to wipe out hemp plants, farmers in Canada and European countries are making millions growing hemp for use in a wide variety of food, clothing, and other products. Manufacturers of hemp products in the United States must import their hemp from countries with more enlightened policies.
“It’s Orwellian that the biggest target of the DEA’s Eradication Program is actually not a drug but instead a useful plant for everything from food, clothing and even auto parts and currently must be imported to supply a $270 million industry,” said Eric Steenstra, president of Vote Hemp, a group lobbying for increased acceptance of the versatile plant. “While Vote Hemp has urged the DEA to recognize the difference between hemp and marijuana so farmers could grow it here, the federal agency is spending millions of dollars to destroy hundreds of millions of harmless hemp plants.”
DEA officials regularly argue that there is no difference between hemp and marijuana, but their own statistics belie that claim. In its reports on the domestic eradication program, the agency clearly differentiates between ditch weed and “cultivated marijuana.”
Not only is the ditch weed eradication program a waste of money, it may even be counterproductive, said Vote Hemp national outreach coordinator Tom Murphy. “Much of the ditch weed eradicated is believed to be burned, turning a carbon consuming plant into a contributor of Greenhouse gasses,” said Murphy in a post-Christmas press release. “For all the effort to find and destroy these harmless wild hemp plants they are coming back year after year. It is likely that the eradication programs help re-seed the locations were ditch weed is found. The late summer timing and removal method causes countless ripe seeds to fall to the ground where they will sprout again the following year.”
Your tax dollars at work.

With its 2 founders serving time, church of pot is devastated
By Stephanie Innes
ARIZONA DAILY STAR
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 09.09.2009
advertisementThe two Southeastern Arizona founders of a church that deifies marijuana are both serving time in federal prison for illegal drug possession.
Danuel and Mary Quaintance, both in their 50s, have been unconstitutionally locked up for practicing their faith, said Daniel Jeffrey, an elder with the Church of Cognizance.
The church operates under the motto: “With good thoughts, good words and good deeds, we honor marijuana: as the teacher, the provider, the protector.”
A federal judge in New Mexico sent the Quaintances to prison earlier this year after they pleaded guilty to two criminal counts related to a 2006 federal arrest — one count of conspiracy with intent to distribute 200 pounds or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of marijuana; and one count of possession with the intent to distribute 100 pounds or more of a substance containing a detectable amount of marijuana; as well as aiding and abetting.
Danuel Quaintance, a 57-year-old Vietnam veteran and retired welder, is serving a five-year sentence at a facility at the Federal Correctional Institute in Terminal Island, Calif., near Long Beach. Mary Quaintance, 54, is serving two years at the Victorville Federal Correctional Complex in Adelanto, Calif.
The Quaintances’ home base is a 4-acre property in Pima, Ariz., which is about 90 miles northeast of Tucson. Their children and grandchildren still live on their property, Jeffrey said.
“Dan and Mary are the heads of their family, and it’s been heartbreaking for everyone,” Jeffrey said. “They are two of the nicest people, with no criminal element whatsoever. They never profiteered from the herb.”
The pair had attempted to have the charges against them dismissed on the grounds that marijuana is part of their religion.
The U.S. Constitution contains no legally recognizable definition of religion, but courts still can apply a test of sincerity.
The couple thought a 2006 U.S. Supreme Court decision on another religious group’s use of hallucinogenic tea would spare them. In that case, the nation’s highest court ruled unanimously that a small religious group based in Santa Fe that combines Christianity and American Indian practices could use hallucinogenic tea in its ceremonies. The tea, called hoasca, contains dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, known for its hallucinogenic properties.
A variety of groups representing millions of members filed briefs supporting O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao Do Vegetal, or UDV, and its use of hoasca — among them the Arizona Civil Liberties Union, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the National Association of Evangelicals and the Union for Reform Judaism. Some supporters likened banning the tea to a federal ban on sacramental wine.
But federal prosecutors said hoasca case did not apply to the Quaintances. Rather, they argued that religious freedom does not exempt the use of illegal drugs.
A U.S. District Court agreed with the prosecution, and the Quaintances said that’s why they pleaded guilty — without the religion defense, they knew they’d be convicted at trial.
Still, the Quaintances expect an eventual reprieve. Danuel Quaintance has said he believes the case will one day wind up before the Supreme Court.
There’s no evidence the couple ever grew their leafy, green sacrament. Rather, they said they relied on donations of it, which they picked up from church “couriers.” They said that’s what they were about to do when they were arrested in Lordsburg, N.M.
The pair has said they founded their Church of Cognizance in Pima in 1991. During an interview with the Arizona Daily Star in 2006, Danuel said the church had between 40 and 50 members in Arizona, and numerous others scattered throughout the country.
“Marijuana is the averter of death,” he said at the time. “The energy and spirit that is in marijuana is God. You consume the plant, and you consume God. You are sacrificing your body to the deity.”
Jeffrey said the couple’s imprisonment has been crushing to both the church and the integrity of the First Amendment.
“Dan and Mary made a tragic mistake,” Jeffrey said. “They believed there was freedom of religion in the United States.”

More on the Hardesty Case:
No Holy Smoke in Arizona
Jacob Sullum | September 11, 2009, 5:27pm
I opened my 2007 Reason article about religious drug use with the case of Dan and Mary Quaintance, the Pima, Arizona, couple who founded the marijuana-venerating Church of Cognizance. Having unsuccessfully tried to fend off federal marijuana charges by citing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), they are currently serving five and two to three years, respectively, in federal prison. Last year I noted that another Church of Cognizance member, Daniel Hardesty, was pursuing a religious freedom defense under Arizona law. This week, the Drug War Chronicle reports, the Arizona Supreme Court rejected his claim.
It was a bit surprising that the court agreed to hear Hardesty’s appeal at all, but evidently it wanted to settle the question of whether Arizonans can claim a right to use marijuana as a sacrament, an issue it had never addressed. The details of Hardesty’s case made it easy for the court to say no: He was caught with half an ounce of pot in his car, having just tossed a smoldering joint out the window. The court’s decision (PDF) highlights the fact that Hardesty claimed a right to “smoke and eat marijuana without limit as to time or place,” including “the right to ingest while driving and, presumably, the right to drive while impaired by marijuana.”
Hardesty argued that forbidding him to possess marijuana violates Arizona’s Free Exercise of Religion Act (FERA). That law, similar to the federal RFRA, allows the state to impose a burden on an individual’s exercise of his religion only if it is “the least restrictive means” of furthering a “compelling governmental interest.” The state cited two compelling interests in banning marijuana: “preventing the deleterious health effects associated with marijuana use and combating the danger to public safety and welfare that result from trafficking in marijuana.” Because “Hardesty claims an unlimited religious right to use marijuana when and where he chooses, and in whatever amounts he sees fit,” the court concluded, “in the context of this case, no means less restrictive than a ban will achieve the State’s conceded interests.”
The court said the Native American Church’s peyote rituals, which are protected under federal and state law, differ from Hardesty’s marijuana use in two important ways: They are limited to specific times and places, and they involve a drug for which the black market is tiny compared to the marijuana market. Although that second factor might mean that marijuana, unlike peyote or ayahuasca, will never be permitted as a sacrament, the court left the door open to a claim from someone whose religious use of cannabis is more circumscribed. And unlike the state appeals court, it held that FERA can be cited as a defense against drug charges, though whether such a defense will prevail is another matter.
