THC & CBD

The royal couple of Cannabinoids

We now know that our natural Endocannabinoid system does not simply exist because there is a plant in the wild called Cannabis. We know that we have a chemical in our brain which we were all born with which mimics the activities of THC which is only found in the Cannabis plant and we also have the receptors for this molecule. We also have a second Endocannabinoid known as 2-AG and this chemical takes on the activities of the Cannabinoid known as CBD although this molecule is also found in other plants besides Cannabis.

Personally ii believe that THC and CBD are the divine royal couple of Cannabinoids within Cannabis medicine and are required to work together for conclusive healing and it is these two which continue to amaze the medical world with their magnificent team work inside our bodies working with the THC receptors.

So THC is the Queen and CBD is the King and without doubt THC is the most popular of all the Cannabinoids and is also the most psychoactive component of the Cannabis plant. In the same way as a chessboard queen is the most powerful piece in the game so too THC is the most powerful chemical component of the Cannabis plant.

What is so special about THC?

THC is the most spoken about chemical component of any plant on Earth and this secret key to mental, physical, spiritual, communal, and economical health is only to be found in the Cannabis plant. It is very true that many of the other Cannabinoids such as CBC for example are to be found in many different plants such as Black pepper, Echinacea, chocolate and even black truffles personally ii believe all plants have Cannabinoids and terpenes which interact with not only our THC Receptors but all of our receptors….but THC is only found in the Cannabis plant. Even CBD is found in flax linen seeds. So THC is the chief pharmacological component of the plant and without THC many of the other over 140 already identified Cannabinoids would not function or even occur in ratio to the presence of THC in the whole herbal plant.

There are many Cannabis Medicine research papers which incorrectly state that CBD and other Cannabinoids bind to our Cannabinoid Receptors...th is is incorrect and ii really need people to understand that only THC actually binds to the Cannabinoid receptors and this is why the Ancient Rastafari teachers used to refer to the EC system as the "THC receptors". Professor Mechoulam is certainly the leading authority in the field of Cannabis Medicine and he says "THC and ONLY THC binds to the Cannabinoid Receptors CB1 and 2".

So for example when he first started testing CBD (which was in fact identified before THC) on lab rats he administered the CBD via the Serotonin receptor because CBD had binding affinity with other receptors but not with the two CB receptors which have been cloned to date. This is why we call them the THC receptors.

How does CBD manage to counter act the effects of THC?

Through the wonder of nature the Cannabinoid CBD is able to calm the psychedelic effects of THC. Since no other Cannabinoid can actually bind to the Receptors how is it possible for CBD to have such a profound effect on THC? Well…through the genius capacity of Creation it does this by actually changing the shape of the THC Receptors which in turn affects the potency and reduces the effects of THC as it binds with the Receptor.  So if you can imagine the surface of the receptor is more or less the same shape as a blood cell like a donut. CBD can alter the shape of the receptor to resemble say a sickle or half- moon shape.  Basically by reducing the surface area of the receptor this reduces the THC uptake and in turn minimizes the psychedelic effects of the THC.

Another truth is that “CBD Only” medicines do not work as effectively as when isolated from THC.

When working with whole herbal plant extract you will never ever in nature come upon a Cannabis plant that will test positive for CBD only and zero THC…it simply is not possible by design of Creation…even Hemp can have as little as 0.05% THC but never zero. It is also very true that since the early 1940’s medical research scientists have been successfully extracting CBD from Hemp plants and converting it to THC in their laboratories which is a burning concern for me concerning the future natural fate of the Cannabis plant in society.

Anyone or any company who tells you that they are selling a “CBD only” whole herbal natural product is not being truthful whether they are informed or not. Even the people who cultivated the ‘Charlotte’s Web’ strain eventually had to admit that there was THC present and that it was not a CBD only strain. It is obvious that claims like this came about out of a desperate need to overcome these wicked Cannabis laws which leave people desperate to do anything to save their loved ones. In nature we are dealing with whole herbal full plant extract and not ‘products’ designed by humans to be sold for profit to sick people.

Already there are thousands of reports from sick people stating that the whole herbal plant is far more effective than any synthetic Cannabis products and this is because of THC…natural whole herbal plant THC extract. THC is the key to unlocking the door to the reality of wholesome pure health for everyone.

CBD the king of Cannabinoids

A lot of people are surprised to learn that CBD was actually discovered about 20 years before THC. In the 1940’s scientists were struggling with the chemical structure of CBD which was not fully revealed until around 1963. CBD and THC are actually quite similar on a molecular level and often confused by scientists. CBD is a major constituent of medical Cannabis and in general does not possess psychoactive properties. We now know that the presence of CBD reduces some of the psychoactive effects of THC.

CBD has always and continues to show potential to relieve convulsion, inflammation, cough, congestion, nausea and most importantly the ability to reduce and in many reported cases of different types of cancers, to actually eliminate cancer cell growth. CBD has also been shown to have anti- anxiety and anti-psychotic properties and is proving to bring great relief to people suffering with schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, MS, Parkinson’s and frequent anxiety attacks and seizures. Other healing abilities of CBD which have been researched include neuro protection, regulation of blood pressure and pain killing properties amongst others.  We now also know that Cannabis can control genes and CBD has an effect on the genes which affect cholesterol metabolism and also has an appetite suppressing effect. CBD also promotes uninterrupted sleep patterns which is essential to overall health and well -being. Insomnia is usually a big problem for people suffering from all kinds of conditions across the board.

What is the difference between CBD and THC?

THC is the main psychoactive and the main pharmacological component of Cannabis and THC is only found in the Cannabis plant. CBD on the other hand has been identified in other plants. THC is therefore the main agonist of the THC receptors because it is the only Cannabinoid which actually binds with these receptors. THC also has the ability to alter the physiochemical nature of the lipid bilayer of cells and interacts with the integral membrane protein receptors through alteration of the boundary lipid.  So here again you can see how Cannabis is able to literally shape shift any cell in our bodies to perform healing. The main target of THC is the brain which ii remind you is 60% fat and Cannabis is a fat soluble substance.

CBD is the main antagonist of the THC receptors and this is how it is able to help people with things like anxiety, depression, pain, epilepsy, insomnia and so on. While CBD may not be able to bind with the THC receptors it most certainly can bind to the Serotonin receptors and this is exactly how CBD produces its anti-anxiety effects.

THC can also bind to all of our other receptors and in fact in the pharmacological world some Cannabinoids like THC and CBD are referred to as “promiscuous” because they both have so many different targets to conquer. CBD can also bind to our vanilloid receptors and this is one of the ways how it manifests its pain killing, anti-inflammatory and temperature control effects. The vanilloid receptor is basically the chemical gateway to the pain pathway.

THC is ‘active’… meaning ‘psychedelically active’ and active because it binds to the THC Receptors CB1 & 2. CBD is ‘inactive’ meaning it does not possess psychedelic properties and it does not bind to these two receptors. THC is found abundantly in the female Cannabis with the highest concentration in the flowers. CBD is found abundantly in the Hemp plant, Cannabis ruderalis and other low THC strains, some species which may contain as little as 0.3% of THC. This is the legal marker for determining whether a plant is Hemp or not. The way ii see things THC is responsible for the receptors and CBD is responsible for regulating the Endocannabinoids and there is evidence to prove that CBD can control when Endocannabinoids are broken down as well as increasing Endocannabinoid levels inside the body.

Where do THC and CBD come from?

THC and CBD are so similar and so easy to synthesise, because both share the same precursor or chemical parent being CBGA. Scientists first thought that CBD was the original precursor to THC and even though some scientists have been actively studying Cannabinoids for over 50 years this subject is still poorly understood. Cannabinoid production starts when an enzyme causes geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid to combine and form CBGA. From here CBGA is converted into CBG, THCA, CBDA or CBCA.

Can CBD make you feel high?

Over the years ii have tested a lot of different strains of Cannabis which claim to be high in THCA, CBN and then CBD so yes ii have even smoked hemp and in all these experiences and ii am also still learning…it seems certain that through Cannabis we can achieve ‘different highs’ or rather different levels of consciousness.

We know that no two Cannabis plants are alike and no two humans are alike and certainly no two ‘highs’ are alike. CBD buds are like a strong herbal relaxant, kind of like a super potent version of chamomile, lavender and rosemary together, so the ‘high’ is completely different to a THC ‘high’. CBD is all about relieving anxiety, pain and stress so it very quickly halts the body’s response to excitability. High CBD strains do not give you that agitated paranoia sometimes experienced with some high THC strains. Nor do they produce the heavy sedating effects of CBN. It’s quite interesting that CBD also converts to CBN in gastric acid and this leads to misunderstandings as to whether the effects of conversion after CBD ingestion are in fact THC effects.

From what my patients tell me it feels like CBD’ fills’ their body and mind with a certain clarity, focus and a sense of calm. A lot of people prefer to consume CBD during work hours to cope with stress and irritability. So yes there are people who enjoy recreational CBD for mental and physical relaxation and as an upbeat mood enhancer with no change in cognitive functions, similar to the effects of Sceletium. Truly Cannabis makes any disease or pain more bearable while offering healing and curing at the same time.

CBD is capable of converting to one of the less psychedelic analogues of THC in the gastric stomach and a lot of people will have a lot to say about any ‘CBD high’ and ii have had this conversation many times about whether people are feeling high or simply feeling better and at the end of the day most people will agree that they are actually just feeling better. Cannabis eases any form of suffering and makes any disease or pain more bearable, and CBD is the known ingredient which eliminates anxiety, stress, depression, pain, inflammation, convulsions and so much more without the extreme psychedelic effects of Delta-8 or 9 THC. So if you are having a stressful day ii highly recommend CBD rich medicine to help you take the edge off.

There is not much you can do to increase CBD levels other than to choose strains with a known high CBD content.  In general indica’s do have higher CBD content than sativa’s but this is not always the rule. CBD is naturally found in higher amounts in low THC varieties such as Cannabis ruderalis and some hemp species.

The leaves of the female plants are high in CBD and ii often refer to the leaves as “CBD medicine” and the flowers as “THC medicine”. Because the leaves are lower in THC they are naturally higher in CBD and this is why leaf products make excellent muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories and pain killers because of the higher percentage CBD in the leaves. Leaves which are in vegetative stage will also naturally have higher CBD levels than leaves harvested in the flowering stage. This is simply because there is an overall higher THC percentage at harvest time than during the vegetative stage of growth and this is especially true for plants grown in natural sunshine.

So in other words, people looking for a high CBD medicine would need to source a ‘lower THC quality’ herb to prepare a high CBD medication. This is why industrial hemp is high in CBD because it is naturally low in THC so working with the leaves of the plant will also produce good quality CBD medicine.

At the end of the day ii really believe it all boils down to genetics but ii have met a lot of growers who have shown me that by letting their plants grow a little longer more CBD is produced. Some of these growers have shown me Cannabinoid content laboratory tests to back their claims. Another important thing to remember is that the leaves of the plant contains more CBD than the flowers. It really is a shame that probably thousands of tons of leaves and stems are thrown away every year because people do not realise the science of what is happening inside this extraordinary plant and what beautiful medicine they could have made.

What does the Bible say about Cannabis?

 The Plant of Renown & the Tree of Life

There are so many fascinating aspects to the Cannabis plant. And for me it comes as no surprise that the leaves are made up of 7 leaflets. The number 7 is the holy number and is mentioned 735 times in the Bible. In the 12^th verse of the first chapter of Genesis our Creator says He was happy with the creation of seed bearing herbs and just further along in the 29^th verse you will read from God’s own mouth that HE has given us ALL seed bearing plants on the surface of the earth. So surely if God saw that His Creation was ‘good’ this would mean that it was pretty much perfect?

GENESIS 1 vs 29

And then God said: “Behold I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all of the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be meat for you.”

When God speaks of meat, He is referring to food.  Most meat is cooked over a source of heat, usually a flame or fire, and then consumed through the mouth. The Rastafari practice of smoking Cannabis is really no different to eating meat.  Observing the command to use herbs that bear seed of its kind, the Rastafari Brethren and Sistren, after separating the seeds from the flowers and leaves, put the herb (meat) in a bowl, apply a flame to it (cooking it) and ingest it through the mouth, this is why you will hear some Rasta’s speak about “eating some herb”.

2 SAMUEL 22 vs 9

“Smoke poured out of his nostrils, a consuming flame and burning coals from his mouth”,

This scripture is repeated again in Psalms 18 verse 8 word for word and again in Job 41 verse 20:

“Smoke comes pouring out of his nose, like smoke from weeds burning under a pot”

The fact that smoke came out of JAH’s nostrils and fire from his mouth, suggests God indeed has a body.  The question is “How did smoke get inside JAH’s body? Far may it be for me to question how my God gets ‘high’ but our answer is through the eating (smoking) of the holy herb, and we continue to justify our Biblical defense of eating and smoking herb by insisting that Cannabis increases spiritual awareness, and brings us into closer meditation with our Creator.

It is of course, naturally, the psychedelic properties of THC which creates the spiritual awareness which is experienced by everyone who consumes Cannabis and not only followers of Rastafari. It has always been my personal reasoning that it is precisely the psychedelic effects of Cannabis which is the main reason for prohibition and persecution and ii believe that the reason for this is to prevent mankind from healing themselves and from getting closer to our Creator. It doesn’t matter what religion you were born into everyone was born with a natural instinct to seek out their Creator. This is because your creator dwells within you.

This is why the challenge continues for scientists to create chemically altered Cannabis products which generally have very little medical effect and a lot more side effects than whole herbal plant Cannabis. They do this to alter the effects of THC which they claim to do under the banner of ‘protecting’ us. People really need to realise that there is a very big difference between using natural plant material and using synthetic cannabis products which claim to come from the actual Cannabis plant.  In other words governments do not want people to experience natural THC from the actual plant and be “high”. Personally ii feel this word is really such an awful way to describe euphoria. To be ‘high’ is to be in the Spirit…the same Spirit referred to in the Bible. In order to be in the spirit we have to succumb to this spirit which lives inside of us.

This means that we have to listen to the voice of the Spirit which dwells within us and to allow this spirit to guide us in all things in life for it is only by the Spirit that we might be able to understand spiritual things. So ii do believe that if we wish to hear the voice of God and to understand the things of God then we need to live by the Spirit and allow ourselves to be led by the Spirit. Through Cannabis we can achieve this visit with Spirit as millions of people everywhere in the world already do.

EXODUS 3 verse 2 -4

“There the angel of the Lord appeared to him as a flame coming from the middle of a bush.  Moses saw that the bush was on fire but that it was not burning up.  ‘This is strange,’ he thought.  ‘Why isn’t the bush burning up?’”.

We believe that this scripture explains that a conference between man and God is symbolized with a burning bush and this is why we ritually recreate this connection by burning the bush, or herb, Cannabis.  This produces a heightened spiritual awareness, allowing for a closer communion with one’s Creator.  This is what it means “to be in the Spirit”.

ROMANS 12 verse 2

“Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God-what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.”

In order to achieve a “complete change of mind” which is a shift in consciousness in the upward direction towards enlightment one needs to be “in the Holy Spirit” and we believe that sacred communion with one’s Creator produces spiritual health, which, in turn helps both mental and physical health.  To live in communion with God through the Holy Spirit using Cannabis is one of the ways to achieve this communion which is why this plant is a sacrament for many religious and spiritual people around the world and not just Rastafari because Cannabis alters our consciousness and opens our chakra system which allows us to enter different dimensions and become closer to God.

Personally ii just love the book of Ezekiel and ii often find a lot of my answers in this book. The following scripture is my absolute favorite all time scripture. It is blatantly clear from Ezekiel that God anticipated that we would be persecuted for the use of this plant of renown.

EZEKIEL 34 verse 29

“And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more be consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen anymore.”

Is Cannabis the Tree of Life?

A lot of people believe that the tree of life and the tree of knowledge is the same tree but ii do not believe this, ii do believe that Cannabis is the biblical Tree of Life as well as the Plant of Renown. It is interesting to realize that the Cannabis plant vibrates to the frequency of 432 Hz which is the frequency of harmony and of the earth and nature. According to Dr Masaru Emoto Cannabis’ vibration has the potential to cleanse the environment from radiation contamination. This frequency is mathematically consistent with the universe and therefore harmonious with God and this frequency carries healing energy which explains why Cannabis can heal so many different types of diseases.

REVELATION 22 verse 2

“In the middle of the street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse”

Throughout the bible from Genesis chapter 2 through to the Revelation we learn of the Tree of Life and this scripture is repeated in Ezekiel 47 verse 12 and Psalm 1 also speaks about a life giving tree. The overall message certainly seems to be that God presented us with the life giving tree which would carry the burden of the heathen as we learnt in Ezekiel 34 verse 29 so we realize that God knew we would suffer persecution for using the tree of life of which the leaves will heal the nations.

It is natural to ask what is the meaning of the healing leaves?

The concept of healing leaves does not only refer to sickness since the tree of life existed in the Garden of Eden before sin and sickness. So healing not only indicates the presence of disease but also the wiping away of tears which were caused by the problems of this creation. Poverty, famine, plagues, oppression and depression can all be healed through the tree of life Cannabis without bearing the shame of a heathen as God warned us. Cannabis leaves contain many of the Cannabinoids but is incredibly rich in Cannabinoid known as CBD which alongside THC is a vital healing Cannabinoid and this is also part of the idea that it is these specific leaves which are for the healing of the nations. CBD is the main antagonist of the THC receptors and this is how it is able to help people with things like anxiety, depression, pain, inflammation, congestion, epilepsy, nausea, insomnia even cancer and so many other common ailments today.  CBD is also responsible for controlling our own Endocannabinoids and this is vital health information.

Humans remain forever dependent upon God our ultimate source of life and this dependence is reflected in our need to access the harvests of the tree of life because of its life giving properties which are now scientifically proven facts of the physical, mental, spiritual and economic benefits of Cannabis. If Cannabis was to be removed from any legal system and returned to God’s people immediately everyone would have a means to support themselves to survive through their interaction with Cannabis. This plant has the ability to uplift mankind from their present day suffering.

Whole communities, villages, towns, cities and countries would be uplifted from the extreme poverty and disease which is raging through our society at this time and only appears to be getting worse. Indeed if we look anywhere in the world right now the nations are filled with disease and various ailments. The healing of the nations’ literally refers to the preservation of health, comfort, happiness and freedom and the subsequent removal of evil and the sins of mankind.

In order to keep mankind in sin and far away from the Creator it became necessary for the evil forces to remove us from the tree of life Cannabis. This started in the 1930’s with prohibition where the first thing they did was remove Cannabinoids from our food chain and this is where all the disease started to set in. The fruit of the Cannabis plant is the seed and it is a well-known historical fact that hemp seeds have been in our food system for over 5000 years up until around 100 years ago.

The flowers of Cannabis produce THC which mimics the activities of our own natural Anandamide which is known as the ‘bliss molecule’ and the leaves are abundant in the Cannabinoid known as CBD which mimics the activities of our second Endocannabinoid known as 2-AG. These two Cannabinoids are the main players in the Cannabis plant which is needed to restore human health via our THC receptor system.

It is now a known and proven scientific fact that all humans, and most of life on earth even jelly fish, have Cannabinoid receptors throughout our bodies, known as the Endocannabinoid System. So, even though now that the whole world knows that we have Cannabis receptors within our bodies; which, really means, that we are supposed to consume Cannabis, we are still suffering under wicked Cannabis laws.

This system of receptors did not come about because there is a plant called Cannabis it came about millions of years ago because there is a chemical substance in our brains which shares the activities of THC which is only found in the Cannabis plant despite the fact that other Cannabinoids even CBD are in fact present in many other plants but THC is only found in the Cannabis plant and this is exactly why followers of Rastafari refer to Cannabis as the tree of life and this is why ii refer to this plant as our human companion plant.

Like the biblical tree of life Cannabis can also offer us everlasting life in other words immortality beyond the flesh in the way in which this human companion plant performs its physiological and spiritual functions from the moment of conception through all the phases of life including the aging process where Cannabis has been scientifically proven to enhance longevity because of its powerful anti-oxidant properties.

Many people will tell us that the tree of life is only a symbolic tree because in their minds no such actual tree exists in the present world. They cannot realize that because this tree has been kept illegal and demonized for almost 100 years that in fact Cannabis is the tree of life. If you can consider that the biblical river of life, the street and the city it runs through are an actual river, street and city then it is also quite possible that the tree of life is an actual tree.

The Bible teaches us that the tree of life produces 12 harvests but this doesn’t mean that it produces 12 different types of fruit rather that it continues to produce fruit all year round instead of just once a year. 

Part of the “healing of the nations” is the idea of abundance where this tree can be harvested literally all year round.  This is not an idea this is a well- researched horticultural fact concerning the Cannabis plant. The concept of the Law of Abundance is one of God’s laws and this holy meditation is manifested in the Cannabis plant for all God’s children. Our Creator considered abundance for all us to use Cannabis as a cash crop just like tomatoes for instance. The supply never fails and it is true that there can never be enough Cannabis and this is why the tree of life is never barren and this plant can literally grow anywhere and is constantly producing for harvest. It is a known scientific fact that every part of the Cannabis plant can be used and even the roots contain medicinal properties so everything about the tree of life contributes to the sustenance of life.

This may come as a big surprise to many Christians but in fact the true healing powers of the Holy anointing oil described in Exodus 30 verse 22 – 25 rests in the Cannabis plant, the plant of renown. Here is a list of the biblical ingredients:

500 shekels (about 6 kg) pure myrrh

250 shekels (about 3 kg) sweet cinnamon

250 shekels (about 3 kg) Kaneh- bosem

500 shekels (about 6 kg) Cassia

One hin (about four liters) Olive oil

International sources generally agree about the identity of four of the five ingredients of the anointing oil, but the identity of the fifth, that of ‘Kaneh (Qaneh)-bosem was a matter of controversy. It was only in 1936, that the first solid evidence of the Hebrew use of Cannabis was established by Sula Benet, a Polish etymologist from the Institute of Anthropological Sciences in Warsaw. (He studied the origin of words and how their meanings have changed throughout history). Sula Benet demonstrated that the word for Cannabis is ‘Kaneh-bosm’, also translated in traditional Hebrew as ‘kaneh’ or ‘kannabus’. The word appears five times in the Old Testament; in the books of Exodus 30 verse 22—23, The Songs of Songs 4 verse 14, Isaiah 43 verse 23-24, Jeremiah 6 verse 20 and Ezekiel 27 verse 19. This is not new information we have known this since 1936.

The word ‘kaneh-bosm’ is now accepted as having been mistranslated as ‘calamus’, a common marsh plant with little value, and does not have the properties attributed to ‘kaneh-bosm’. This error occurred in the oldest Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, and was repeated in the many translations that followed.

In order for mankind and womankind to truly return to their Creator, their Maker, their God with their whole heart, it is crucial that as individuals we have complete freedom of choice in respect of worship, without persecution so as to be able to follow our own conscience and be led by our own God. Once people begin to access their consciousness it will become easier to realize that a society that keeps a cure like Cannabis a secret and illegal so that they can continue selling drugs at huge profits with hugely negative side effects is not really a society but is actually just a massive mental asylum. Can we afford for this state of affairs to continue into the future?

1 Timothy 4 vs 1 – 5

“The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons.  Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.  Such people teach that it is wrong to marry and to eat certain foods.  But God created those foods to be eaten, after a prayer of thanks, by those who are believers and have come to know the truth.  Everything that God has created is good; nothing is to be rejected, but everything is to be received with a prayer of thanks, because the word of God and the prayer make it acceptable to God.”

Cannabis literally gives us life

One of the most important medical mysteries of our time is the question as to why a woman’s body does not actually release the foetus and terminate pregnancy. Scientists in the fields of transplantation immunology and reproductive biology have been baffled for decades as to why a mother’s immune system does not reject the developing foetus and placenta as alien tissue? The foetus and the placenta both express antigens which are different to the mother and in terms of what we know about medicine the maternal immune system should by rights reject this foreign tissue. 

The scientists at New York University School of Medicine made a completely unexpected discovery as scientists do. The human body is by creation designed to reject alien matter when invaded and this usually manifests as fever, diarrhoea and vomiting which is sign that the body is trying to find ways to get rid of the bacteria or virus and so on. In my opinion this is exactly why women and some men even suffer from ‘morning sickness’ the woman’s body is trying to reject the foetus in this first trimester. Half of the genes of the foetus comes from the father and technically could carry genetic code which could actually be a threat to the mother or the child or both. So the foetus is a foreign invader to the mother’s own immune system. But for some miraculous reason the mother’s body does not reject the foetus instead her system changes direction from attacker to protector thus ensuring continuation of life. How does this happen? How is this possible? How does this work? And what has this got to do with Cannabis?

It seems odd to me that it took scientists all this time to figure this mystery out and they only managed to explain it through the discovery of the THC receptors and Cannabinoid science.

Exactly six days after conception…one day before implantation in the uterine wall the womb…something very mysterious happens in the woman’s body which highlights something very important about our relationship with the Cannabis plant.

A blastocyst is the cellular tissue arrangement a cluster of cells is you like which is what develops to become the human embryo around six days after fertilization takes place. So we all start off as blastocysts and on the day before implantation the 6^th day this blastocyst starts to produce an enzyme which actually suppresses the mother’s killer T cells from her immune system and this is how nature prevents an immune reaction against the soon to be embryo. This is the story of how Cannabis can halt the imminent and naturally expected death of the future baby’s cells.

Through this miracle the T cells are never actually summoned to the site of fertilisation and this is what saves the foetus and the placenta which forms immediately after implantation.

It is now known that the genes which are responsible for responding by sending the T cells to any site of injury are automatically turned off at the beginning of pregnancy inside the uterine lining which is the cellular barrier which protects the developing baby and the placenta. There are already a few published scientific papers on animal and human studies to confirm these findings so this is happening with all mammals and ii suspect all of life even insects and jelly fish since they also have the THC receptors.

If these T cells were not turned off and they were actually sent to the tissue in the uterine wall well then serious complications would occur like premature labour because the body would be trying to abort the foetus the foreign object and this can continue till well after the 20^th week of pregnancy as the mother’s blood pressure continues to rise and she develops blood clotting and kidney problems.

The hormones which control these genes and prevent the T cells from doing their job to eradicate foreign tissue are controlled by our own Endocannabinoids Anandamide and 2-AG and this is what takes us straight to the THC receptors and the system which we have come to know as The EC System and this takes us to the Cannabis plant. The most distinguishing characteristic of the immune system and how it defends itself against the implantation of foreign tissues and toxins is the way in which it produces chemokine’s. Chemokine’s are a small branch of the cytokines family and cytokines control the release and absorption of our hormones. They are cellular post men if you like or signalling proteins secreted by cells.

It is these chemokine’s which the genes use to send the T cells to the site of injury and this is the most important part of our immune response system. So it’s the genes which produce these chemokine’s which are turned off during pregnancy and which protect the unborn baby. So at the moment an embryo is implanted something intricate and mysterious takes places to stop the immune system from attacking the future unborn child and it is directly related to our need for Cannabis consumption as a life-saving medicine through our natural THC receptor system.

At the end of the day ii have scanned the Bible and studied most of God’s laws but ii cannot find it written anywhere that we may not consume Cannabis. It is interesting that no prohibition of Cannabis or any other plant is made in the Ten Commandments. Genesis 1 verse 29 is very clear that God is giving us every seed bearing herb and we all know that Cannabis is a seed bearing plant which can be used as food and energy and medicine.

The tree of life and the plant of renown represent the love of God which is the greatest of all our gifts from our Creator. Through the tree of life we are able to experience joy, happiness, health and abundance. In many different religions the tree of life is described as being ‘desirable to make one happy” and “joyous to the soul”. The reason for this is again because THC found only in the Cannabis plant imitates the activities of our natural Anandamide the “joy molecule”. We need Cannabinoids from the Cannabis plant to supplement this system. We are not supposed to be miserable and depressed and downtrodden. People are not supposed to be living on top of rubbish dumps with more than half the world’s population starving and desperately ill.

Cannabis is the only plant on earth which can uplift mankind out of this murdered rendition of life. Only Cannabis can provide the healing we so desperately need and this is exactly why this plant remains illegal and out of the reach of the average person who should be able to grow this medicine in their own back yards for free. Cannabis is our human companion plant and keeping us away from this plant by declaring God’s creation illegal is in plain truth nothing short of murder.

1 Corinthians 15 verse 56

“Sin gets its power from the law”.

What is the principal of Self-Determination?

A lot of people do not believe that this is possible or consider what it even might be.  Many people tell me that around 80% of the people who they speak to about SSGH continue to believe that this is fake news and will never happen. This is my own personal experience as well. The only reason why this might not work would be because of the fact that people do not believe. Even though they know that this is what they really dream of, the fact that King Calvin Cornelius III and Queen Jenny have actually taken the steps towards realising this they still refuse to accept it as their own truth.

The Bible speaks about some people being taken and some being left behind. This is what we are witnessing right now and this is very much part of the long awaited shift in consciousness. People have been enslaved for so long that when they are faced with freedom they do not even recognise the memory of such a state and this is why they seem to reject or ignore such ideas of consciousness.

Romans 12 verse 2.

“Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God—what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.”

The human mind when subjected to evil becomes an instrument of evil and when informed by the Spirit becomes an instrument of God and therefore of good. By giving us a complete change of mind God enables us to process the discrimination between good and evil and also supplies us with the data to consciousness which is love. So the new mind is the mind working under the influence of God and this is the closest we can hope to come to consciousness.

Ezekiel 36 verse 26

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

This is another prophetic teaching about the promise of the human shift of consciousness from evil to righteousness. Many of our hearts are hardened by the wicked ways of this world and so God promises to change this by giving us a new light, a new will filled with purpose and solutions. A new heart with a new Spirit where new delights and joys may be experienced as well as new sorrows and troubles for this is life there must be good and bad for if there is no bad how will you ever appreciate the good? Everything which is happening right now is part of this spiritual shift of consciousness and my advice is to embrace it with your whole heart, mind and soul.

The fact that main stream media controls what the public have access to also plays a great role in the political propaganda presented globally.  Think about it if this was not true if this was fake news believe me it would have been all over the international media by now as the joke of the century don’t you think?

Article 3 of our new Constitution states:

“When exercising the right to self- determination and implementing capability freedom and opportunity freedom, then the country will grow.

Responsibility, Accountability and Transparency are the corner stones of the Sovereign State of Good Hope. When we apply the Atlantic Charter amongst the Four Nations which spells out Freedom of Speech and Expression, Freedom of Conscience and Belief, Freedom from Want and Freedom from Fear. then we will live in Harmony.”

So consciousness is a very big part of moving closer towards our personal freedom.

One example of this principle working in action right now is in the signing of our Oath of Allegiance to King Cornelius. A few weeks ago ii asked Rodney Bartman who might qualify as a “commissioner of oaths” and he undertook to consult with the King. Let it not be me who interrupts Rodney’s work and bother him with something like this when we are still trying to convince people to register in the first place.

So ii decided to contact Queen Jenny as busy as she herself is and ii asked her if it would be in order for me to sign my Oath in front of a Khoi san Chief as there are many in the area where ii live in the Deep South.  She informed me that anyone who has signed their own oath may bear witness to another’s signing.  How brilliant! In this way we encourage people to step up to get their citizenship by helping one another by being encouraged to think for themselves and taking the burden off our leaders who are very busy behind the scenes with the King and others. This is a big part of the freedom we may look forward to receiving the power to be able to think for ourselves.

And ii also really like the idea of people carrying their Bibles around. So as this movement gets bigger and bigger until it reaches the right people citizens will realise that the time of waiting for someone to tell you what to do is long over the principle of self-determination empowers us to think for ourselves.  More and more people will automatically start taking the initiative required to ensure that goals are achieved at home, in communities, towns, cities and beyond until those who are ready to be taken to freedom will have moved on while others are still wondering what is going on.

Yesterday was Woman’s Day and ii was blessed to be invited to the Krotoa Woman’s Association Luncheon where we were treated to the most delicious meal and some of the best youth based dance entertainment ii have seen in decades definitely worth of international stage presence.

My dream of signing my Oath of Allegiance to King Cornelius on a prestigious day like Woman’s Day was achieved in the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Chazz.Thomas.

The time is now to realise that continuing to do things the same way and expect different outcomes does not work.  For true change to manifest we have to all change the way we think and therefore perceive our realities and our existence and our duty in this life time.

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will, people need to seriously reassess their faith in what they actually believe in. The truth is that if you suffer it is because of you, if you feel happy it is because of you. No one else is responsible only you and you alone. So in plain truth we are both our heaven and our hell and this shift in consciousness is what is so needed to make us realise this. The ability to think is a true blessing and as you can see not many people have this ability. If you can think about a situation then you can deal with it but the trick is to keep your head clear enough to think and this is where prayer, fasting and meditation are very effective.

Happiness is the new rich. Inner peace is the new success. Health is the new wealth and kindness is the new path to righteousness because if we were all a little kinder then surely the world would be a kinder place. All of these things are possible through the idea of self-determination. We simply must find a new way to think before we may master a new way of being because the secret to happiness is freedom and the secret to freedom is courage. We must find the courage to unlearn all our bad thoughts, to unlove hate and unplug ourselves from the matrix of madness which currently consumes our world and our minds and therefore our freedom.

Long Live the King!
