HERBAL HEALER

A new study of the Scriptures claims the anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples in their many miraculous healings likely contained as its primary ingredient kaneh-bosem, or cannabis extract. The findings are laid out in the latest issue of High Times as reported on the website of the British paper The Guardian.
The article also notes that the incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, with citations from a number of religious scholars, including Boston University professor of classical mythology Carl Ruck, who is quoted as declaring, "There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic religion."
Bennett refers to the "easy availability and long-established tradition of cannabis in early Judaism" as further evidence of its use in pre-Christianity rituals and healings, and says it is likely that the oils Jesus used were "literally drenched in this potent mixture."

The word for Cannabis in the language Jesus spoke was "AZZULA"
None of the Scriptures say not to use it, that was Nancy Reagan. I find it interesting that when I attended the University in the 1970s and did some independent research, I found a great many Masters Thesis' and Doctoral Dissertations in the library which were pro-cannabis.In the early 80's, President Reagan convinced Congress to make it a Schedule One drug, which means it could no longer be studied. Another anomaly is the Mexican name, "Marijuana" which some have claimed is a derogatory term for cheap tobacco. The English translation of Marijuana is "Mary Jane" Given the Catholic propensity to worship Mary as the mother of God, and Mexico being predominately Catholic, I disagree with this characterization. I think it was named for Mary the mother of Jesus. This is not an endorsement for the use of illegal drugs, just a statement of facts.

Factual Basis for this motion(s) are:
A.- History truth.
A. Relevant Federal Statutes and "The Grandfather Clause"
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 ("the FDCA"), 21 U.S.C. §301 et seq., is designed to protect public health by regulating "new drugs" that are intended for use in interstate commerce. Barnes v. United States, 142 F.2d 648 (9th Cir.1944); United States v. Kordel, 164 F.2d 913 (7th Cir.1947); United States v. Two Bags, Poppy Seeds, 147 F.2d 123 (6th Cir. 1945). There exists, however, a "grandfather" clause which exempts certain old drugs from this "new drug" status. 21 U.S.C. §321(p)(1); United States v. Rutherford, 442 U.S.544, 546-48 (1979); Rutherford v. United States, 541 F.2d. 1137, 1140-42 (10th Cir.1976) (reversed on other grounds, 442 U.S. 544).
As explained by federal regulators, when Congress revamped the FDCA in 1939, it "accepted those drugs marketed prior to 1938 which had been subject to the 1906 provisions of the FDCA [requiring drugs to be identified in recognized medical authorities such as the National Formulary, United States Dispensatory, Pharmacopeia of the United States, or other similar sources] provided these very old drugs retain their exact formulations and are never promoted for new uses." 57 Fed.Reg. 10499, 10503 (1992) (citing 21 U.S.C. §321(p) and (w)). As further explained, these pre-1938 drugs "are politically 'grandfathered' drugs" and "need not meet modern standards for safety and effectiveness." Ibid; United States v. Rutherford, 442 U.S. at 546-48; Rutherford v. United States, 541 F.2d. at 1140-42.
As will now be shown, marijuana is one of those "very old drugs" that was grandfathered in as a medicine back in 1938. Marijuana (more commonly known as cannabis) was widely recognized for its medicinal use in the medical journals of that time, and brand-name companies, such as Parke-Davis and Eli Lilly, were cultivating "home-grown cannabis" and selling the "flowering tops" of the plant for use in the treatment of illnesses such as anorexia, chronic pain, spasticity, and nausea.
B. "Medical Marijuana" Is A Bona Fide Medicine
Within The Meaning Of The Grandfather Clause Exemption First, it bears emphasizing that federal regulators readily recognize "medical marijuana" as an authentic pre-1938 medicine: "Cannabis sativa L. was one of the first plants to be used by man for fiber, food, medicine, and in social and religious rituals. There were approximately 150 traditional medicinal uses of cannabis ... in Western medicine from the mid-19th to the early 20th century ...In 1941, marijuana passed out of the National Formulary and the United States Pharmacopeia." 54 Fed.Reg. 53767, 53774 (1989).
Next, recorded documents existing within private and public libraries, now located on the world-wide web, (internet) further reveal evidence of marijuana's recognition and acceptance as medicine prior to1938. Defendant submits the attached declaration and supporting exhibits which verifies the pre-1938 acceptance of marijuana in the United States Dispensatory, Pharmacopeia of the United States, and Materia Medica acknowledging marijuana's use in the treatment of pain relief, epilepsy, appetite loss, depression, vomiting, etc., etc., etc.
See Attached -(Declaration of Edward "njweedman" Forchion).
As set forth in this declaration, companies such as Parke-Davis, Eli Lilly, Merck, and Squibb made extensive use of marijuana for commercial medicinal purposes and not only manufactured and sold marijuana preparations, they cultivated "home-grown cannabis" and then sold the "flowering tops" of those plants by the gram, ounce and pound. (NJWEEDMAN- Declaration.)
