Episode Transcription

 Welcome  back  to  the  Miracle  Plant  podcast  where  we  discuss  this  Miracle  Plant  with  so  many  names  and  how  it's  helping  people  in  so  many  extraordinary  ways.

Well,  we're  going  to  talk  about  the  so  many  names.  Once  again,  I'm  so  excited  to  share  some  great  news.  For  those  of  you  that  have  listened  before,

know  that  I'm  a  big  fan  of  The  Chosen.  Darryl  Eves  is  one  of  the  executive  producers  who's  in.  Russell's  world  and  my  world.  Actually,  I  have  a  meeting  with  his  team  here  coming  up  pretty  soon.

And  they  wanted  to  reach  a  billion  people  about  the  authentic  Jesus.  And  now  it's  on  season  four,  which  is  in  the  movie  theaters  right  now.

I  got  to  catch  episodes  one,  two,  three,  four,  five,  six.  And  then  in  a  couple  of  weeks,  seven  and  eight  will  come  out  for  season  four  of  The  Chosen.

And  what  I  wanna  talk  about  today,  and  first  of  all,  they're  going  for  a  billion  people.  They're  gonna,  they're  three  quarters  of  the  way  there.  They're  like  750  million  views  last  I  saw.

And  you  know,  here  at  the  Miracle  Plant,  we're  looking  to  reach  a  billion  people  about  the  power  of  this  Miracle  Plant,  especially  in  the  raw  form,  you  know,  when  it  would  help  heal  my  son  from  a  severe  autism  diagnosis.

Now,  the  reason  I  bring  up  the  chosen  is  that  a  lot  of  you  have  heard  before  on  this,  you  know,  podcast  about  cannabosum,

or  cannabosum.  We  had  Chris  Bennett  on  a  recent  episode.  If  you  scroll  back  and  find  that  one,  who's  the  author  of  five  countdowns,

count  that  one,  two,  three,  four,  five,  five  books  on  Canna  Bossum.  And,  you  know,  talking,  you  know,  from  some  of  the  Dead  Sea  Scroll  findings  from,

you  know,  Philip  and  St.  Timothy.  And,  you  know,  just  talking  about  the  Canna  Bossum  that  was,  you  know,

divinely  presented  or  told  to  Moses  2800.  years  ago  through  the  burning  bush  how  to  make  the  holy  anointing  oil.  Which  to  me  was  just  mind -blowing  and  the  fact  that  cannabis  or  canabosin  is  was  such  a  huge  part  of,

I  mean,  we've  known  it's  been,  you  know,  documented  going  back,  you  know,  30 ,000  years  that  hemp  cannabis,  whatever  you  want  to  call  it,  has  been  such  an  integral  part  of  human  history.

In  fact,  so  much  so  that  our  bodies  have  developed  over  30 ,000  years  to  have  an  endocannabinoid  system,  which  directly  correlates  with  this  plant.

And  these  cannabinoids  like  CBD,  or  CBDA,  the  raw  you've  seen  miracles,  that's  called  a  miracle  plant  pod.

podcast  because  we  want  to  have  people  come  on  and  talk  about  their  miraculous  stories,  talk  about  this  miraculous  plant  and  give  you  insights  and  information  that  you  may  never  have  heard  before.

You  know  we've  all  heard  the  bad  things  we've  all  heard  the  you  know  the  just  say  no  and  the  reefer  madness  and  gateway  drug  and  all  these  things  that  we  were  told  about  this  plant  and  that's  what  makes  it  just  so  polarizing  that  at  first  there  was,

you  know,  from  1937,  the  marijuana  tax  act,  which  made  cannabis  hemp,  which  Thomas  Jefferson  and  George  Washington  grew,  you  know,  back  in  the  colonial  days.

And  in  fact,  farmers  had  to  grow  at  least  an  anchor  of  hemp,  you  know,  in  those  colonial  days  because  it  was  such  a  useful  plant  for  textile.  and  paper  and  clothing  and  you  know  food  and  medicine  and  you  know  the  list  goes  on  and  on  and  again  so  the  reason  why  I  bring  this  up  is  I  was  going  to  the  chosen  to  see  episode  one  of  season  four  a  few  weeks  ago  when  it  first  came  out  in  the  movie  theaters  and  I

brought  my  son  Shay  who's  part  of  the  miracle  plant  journey  Obviously,  he's  the  one  that  inspired  us  to  find  this  Miracle  Plant  to  help  heal  his,  his  severe  autism  diagnosis.  And  so  we're  sitting  there  in  episode  one,

season  four,  in  the  movie  theater.  And  Zebedah  and  the  disciples  were  making,  first  they  bought  an  olive  oil  or  an  olive  orchard  of  trees  to  make  olive  oil.

And  they  were  going  to  make  it.  and  Zebedee  sold  his  fish,  his  fishing  boat,  he  was  just  like  the  town's  greatest  fisherman,  but  he  wanted  to  figure  out  how  he  could  help  Jesus'  mission,

and  he  was  inspired  to  make  olive  oil,  which  is  the  base  oil  for  the  anointing  oil.  And  so  they,  he  sold  his  boat  and  he  went  all  in  and  bought  some  land  that  had,

it  was  actually  over  the  head.  all  of  trees  on  it.  And  so  he's  experimenting  how  to  make  the  oil  and  he's  not  doing  a  very  good  job,  but  some  of  the  other  disciples,  especially  the  women  like  Mary  Magdalene,

helped  him  figure  out  how  to  make  a  good,  clean  olive  oil.  And  as  this  was  going  on  in  earlier  episodes  in  like  season  three  and  season  two,

I  knew  where  it  was  going  because  I  knew  where  it  was  going.  I  understood  what  the  holy  anointing  oil  was  made  out  of  and  olive  oil  is  the  base  or  the  medium  that  you  use  the  oil  for.

So  season  four,  episode  one,  Zebedee  finally  has  the  anointing  oil  ready  to  sell  to  the  high  priests  in  the  Jewish  tradition  back  then.

then,  like  the  Pharisees  is  what  they  were  called.  And  so  he's  got  like  these  huge  jugs  of  anointing  oil  and  he's  got  a  friend  inside  of  the  Pharisees.

Actually,  it's  one  of  the  priests  whose  daughter,  Jesus,  brought  back  to  life.  And  so  that's  their  connection.  And  they  wanna  figure  out  a  way  that,

you  know,  let's  make  this  incredible.  you  know,  anointing  oil  and  let's  sell  it  to  the  Pharisees  so  we  can  finance  Jesus's  mission.  So  they're  wheeling  in  these  like  six  huge  drums  of  the  anointing  oil  to  make  the  first  deal,

right,  the  first  sell  to  the  Pharisees.  And  they're  sitting  down  at  the  table  and  they're  talking  and,  you  know,  some  of  the  Pharisees  are  like,  well,  why  are  we  not  getting  it?

where  we  usually  get  it  and  then  they  said  well  there's  taxes  or  tariffs  and  they're  charging  us  delivery  fees  and  all  this  stuff  and  and  so  the  friend  on  the  inside  is  trying  to  like  work  the  you  know  work  the  conversation  so  Zebedee  can  sell  this  oil  to  help  finance  Jesus's  mission  and  then  one  of  the  Pharisees  asks  a  while  is  this  from  the  is  this  made  by  the  law  of  Moses  is  this  the  the  recipe  of  Moses  which

was  from  the  burning  bush?  And  so  I'm  just  sitting  there  like  this  is  like  the  opening  scene  on  you  know  one  of  the  opening  scenes  on  the  chosen  season  four  episode  one  and  he  starts  he  says  of  course  it's  from  Moses's  recipe  and  he  starts  to  list  the  things  actually  the  Pharisees  ask  him  what  is  it  so  then  tell  us  what  it's  made  of  and  he  goes  through  and  he  talks  about  the  olive  oil  and  talks  about  the  cinnamon

and  how  many  shekels  which  is  the  form  of  monetary  instrument,  back  then  like  coins  or  dollars.  And  then  he  says  aromatic  cane.  And  I  just  was  like  ear  to  ear,

smiling.  In  fact,  I  jumped  out  of  the  movie  theater  and  I  called  my  wife  Molly,  and  I  said,  Molly,  you  won't  believe  it.  I'm  sitting  here  watching  the  chosen  and  right  in  the  opening  scenes.

of  season  4,  episode  1,  they  say  the  ingredients  of  the  anointing  oil,  the  holy  anointing  oil,  is  made  with  aromatic  cane.

Now,  why  is  that  such  a  big  deal?  Well,  think  about  it.  We've  talked  about  canna  bosom,  right?  Canna  means  cane  or  hemp,  and  bosom  means  aromatic,

right?  right?  So  aromatic  cane  is  the  literal  translation  for  cannabosom  to  English,  right?  So  they  literally  just  said  that  it  was  hemp  or  cannabis,

aromatic  cane,  right?  Think  of  a  cane  like  bamboo.  Think  of  a  cane  like  that's  what  hemp  was  known  for.  It  can  grow  like  20  feet  tall  and  you  can  use  the  you  know  the  shaft  shaft  of  the  plant  to,

you  know,  that's  what  you  can  use  for  textiles  and  for  paper  and  for  clothing  and  for  shelter  and  on  and  on  and  on.  And  so  it's  like  a  long  cane  and  aromatic  is  obviously  the  cannabis  smell  or  the  hemp  smell.

And  so  it's  the  literal  translation  of  cannabasim  now.  Now,  why  is  that  such  a  big  deal?  Well,  because  that's  what  it  was.  "Kanabosim"  was  used  in  the  Holy  Noising  Oil.

And  when  they  translated  the  text,  when  they  translated  the  word  from  Hebrew  to  Greek  in  the  Septuagint,  which  is  like  the  oldest  Bible  ever,  they  mistranslated  the  words.

The  one  word  "Kanabosim"  They  translated  it  to  a  marshy  pussy  willow  type  plant  called  Calamus,  which  is  not  a  cane,

which  has  no  aromatic  smell  and  doesn't  have  the  same  value,  literally  the  250  shekels  value  that  cannabosum  did  or  cannabis  did  back  then.

So  that's  just  what  I  love.  It  was  like,  if  you  want  to  just  look  at  the  facts.  And  again,  this  was  Sula  Bene  who  wrote  the  folklore  uses  of  hemp  in  1967,

who  was  an  epitologist  who  understood  the  Hebrew  language  dialect.  That's  what  her  career  was.  She  was  from  Poland  and  said  cannabis,

cannabisim,  was  one  and  the  same.  And  she  was  the  one  that  we  first  knew  of  that  published.  published,  you  know,  these  findings  back  in  1967  and  you  can  Google  it  and  we've  had  it  in  our  show  notes  before.

So  again,  I'm  just  sitting  here  like  so  excited  because  I'm  like,  yes,  like  the  truth.  Like  all  we  have  to  do  is  go  back  to  the  truth.  What  is  the  translation?  You  know,  and  I  grew  up  in  the  Catholic  Church  and  like  I  call  us  cradle  Catholics  from  the  beginning.

And,  you  know,  over  time.  I've  seen  them  change  words  in  prayers  in  the  service  because  again  they're  trying  to  get  the  translation  correct  because  they  didn't  get  it  right  and  so  they're  trying  to  to  verbatim  get  that  original  weather  is  Aramaic  which  is  what  Jesus  spoke  or  Hebrew  which  is  what  Jewish  law  wrote  in  or  the  Jewish  priests  wrote  in.

in,  and  get  those  translations  to  be  as  accurate  as  possible  when  translating  to  English.  And  what  happened  was  when  they  translated  from  Hebrew  to  Greek,

that  is  where  the  misstep  happened.  Whether  it  was  unintentional  or  not,  who  knows.  But  here  we  are  talking  about  the  facts.  And  then  obviously  when  they  translated  from  Greek  to  English,

that  is  where  the  misstep  and  the  King  James  Bible,  then  that  is  the  translation  they  took.  Calimus,  a  pussy  willow,  with  no  medicinal  value,  no  tangible  value,

no  aromatic  cane.  And  so  it  just  was  so  exciting  to  me.  I  was  just  like,  yeah,  you  know  what  I  mean?  It's  the  real  translation,

aromatic  cane.  That  is  what  hemp  is.  That's  what  the  translation  is.  is.  That's  what  cannabis  is.  And  it  was  just  so  cool.  And  because  for  me,  it's  like,  look,  it's  another  platform.  It's  another  perfect  example,

right?  750  million  views  on  its  way  to  a  billion.  It's  having  huge  success.  Like  they're  Jonathan  Rumi's,  you  know,  coming  out  all  over  the  place,  you  know,  like  a  celebrity,

you  know,  he  was  with  Mark  Wahlberg  and  doing  all  these  cool  things  on  like  Stephen  Colbert.  Colbert  and  the  talk  shows  and  all  the  other  places  and  so  It  was  just  you  know  for  me.

It's  just  like  I  don't  know  if  it's  like,  you  know  Gratifying  or  like,  you  know  having  to  prove  anything  for  me.

It's  like  look,  I  just  want  people  to  understand  the  the  power  of  this  plant  and  and  and  and  to  truly  just  just  understand  it.  Like  for  me,  the  easiest  way  to  understand  this  plant  is  how  we  think  of  aloe  vera  and  sunburn.

So  this  raw  hemp  plant,  raw  cannabis  plant,  is  the  greatest  plant,  the  greatest  thing  on  earth  that  naturally,  actually  heals  pain  and  inflammation.

That's  just  one  of  the  many,  many,  many  things  it  does  for  our  body.  But  let's  just  start  with  pain.  How  many  of  you  listening  right  now  have  pain?  You  know,  I'm  in  my  40s.

So  every  once  in  a  while  the  back  will  get  a  little  tighter.  I  go  to  the  gym  quite  frequently  and  you  know  sometimes  I  can't  go  as  hard  as  I  want  because  my  shoulder  might  hurt  a  little,

my  wrist  might  hurt  a  little  and  so  then  I  can  rub  on  or  roll  on  some.  Kenna  Bossam  oil  or  hemp  oil  that  we  make  cold  pressed  whole  plant  with  high  levels  of  CBDA  just  like  the  plant  makes,

which  naturally  reduces  inflammation  at  the  cause.  So  wherever  the  pain  is,  the  inflammation,  the  soreness,  the  swelling,  the  aching,  it  goes  to  the  root  of  the  problem.

And  it  starts...  starts  to  reduce  inflammation,  improve  circulation  and  heal  the  issue  and  reduce  the  pain  and  that's  the  difference  between  aspirin  and  ibuprofen  is  that  those  things  literally  just  cut  off  the  pathway  in  your  brain  to  understand  that  there  is  pain  and  And  so  you're  not  fixing  the  problem.

You're  masking  the  problem  you're  cutting  off  the  the  H,  I  think  it's  Cox2  inhibitor  for  all  you  medical  scientific  type.

And  whereas  with  cannabis  or  hemp,  it's  naturally  fixing,  helping,  reducing  inflammation  and  pain  at  the  source.  So  for  me,

if  we  start  to  think  of  of  cannabis  as  a  natural  pain  relieving  plant  with  no  side  effects,  because  it's  not  a  pill,

you  know,  I  love  when  we  first  opened  our  one  of  our  stores  out  here  in  the  West  Coast,  people  would,  you  know,  of  course  ask,  you  know,  so  what's  the  side  effects?  Because  we're  programmed  to  just  think  that  there's  going  to  be  side  effects  with  any  type  of  medicine,

quote  unquote.  we  take  because  again  a  pharmaceutical  model  of  playing  guinea  pig  with  a  single  molecule  chemical  or  some  type  of  chemistry  set  concoction  that  we're  trying  to  play  God  with  and  and  mess  around  with  our  natural  chemistry  there's  if  you  if  you  if  you  maybe  tweak  something  in  your  favor  and  you  force  your  the  cards  to  go  a  certain  direction  in  your  body  with  a  pill,

well,  you'll  be  throwing  your  body  out  of  sync  and  then  likely  throwing  side  effects  or  things  out  of  whack,  right?  So  it's  like  you  fix  one  thing,  but  you  break  three.

I  know  all  of  us  have  seen  those  commercials  on  TV,  which  were  one  of  only  two  countries  in  the  world  that  allow  pharmaceutical  commercials,  us  in  New  Zealand.  I  wonder  where  they  got  the  idea.  I  think,

you  know,  know,  the  good  Lord  that  no  one  else,  no  other  190  countries  are  doing  that.  But  when  you  see  those  commercials,

it  says,  you  have  a  rash  and  take  this  whatever  crazy  name.  And  a  lot  of  times  they  just  rename  the  drug  after  they  get  a  ton  of  lawsuits.  But  so  they  say,  take  this  drug  that  will  help  with  your  rash.

And  it  might  help  like  it  helps  like  60%. %  of  the  time  but  you  may  you  know  develop  cancer  and  die  like  literally  if  you  listen  to  like  the  side  effects  it's  crazy  and  of  course  they  have  like  a  middle -aged  couple  in  a  bathtub  or  walking  on  the  on  the  on  the  sand  and  we're  just  so  desensitized  to  it  we  don't  even  hear  it  so  again  the  thing  that  excites  me  the  most  is  that  now  we  are  talking  about  truth  and

the  truth  is  that  in  the  holy  anointing  oil  one  of  the  main  ingredients  was  cannabis  which  is  cannabis  which  and  along  with  things  like  cinnamon  you  know  that  they  were  natural  products  that  were  used  natural  plants  that  were  used  in  the  holy  anointing  all  back  in  the  2800  years  ago  they  were  were  reserved  for  only  the  high  priests  could  have  access  to  this  Holy  Anointing  All  or  eventually  they  had  it  for  the  kings

and  royalty  that  would  have  access  to  be  anointed.  And  for  most  of  you  know  that  Christ  means  the  anointed  one.  So  Jesus  was  actually  Jesus  from  Nazareth  or  Jesus  from  Joseph,

but  his  name  was  given  to  him  after  he  was  given  the  name.  name,  the  anointed  one,  Jesus  Christ.  And  so  it's  such  a  huge  part  of  his  mission  when  he  was  to  give  and  heal,

he  would  use  this  unction  or  this  oil,  this  holy  anointing  oil,  as  the  medium  to  help  perform  his  miracles,  right?  Just  like  there  was  the  medium  that  he  needed,

you  know,  fish  and  blood.  bread  to  reproduce,  you  know,  for  thousands.  He  needed  a  medium.  He  needed  something.  In  a  recent  episode,

he  rubbed  mud  on  a  blind  man's  eyes,  and  that  was  the  medium  for  him  to  see.  So  there  was  something  that  he  needed  that  he  was  using  on  these  healing  missions.

And  it  was  the  Holy  Anointing  Well.  Well,  back  in  the  day,  that  Holy  Anointing  Well  was  only  reserved  reserved  for  kings  and  high  priests  of  the  Jewish  faith.

Well,  Jesus  came  along,  Zebedee  started  making  a  ton  of  it,  selling  it  to  the  Pharisees  who  were  keeping  it  for  themselves.  But  Jesus  said,  "This  oil  is  a  part  of  our  mission  and  this  holy  anointing  oil  that  I  received  and  who  I  became  the  Christ,

I'm  giving  it  to  everyone."  And  that's  one  of  the...  things  that  got  the  Pharisees,  these  high  Jewish  priests,  so  upset  because  there  was  the  Jewish  and  there  was  the  Gentiles.

And  so  the  Jewish  faith  believed  only  that  you  should  preach  to  and  dine  with  and  eat  with  and  basically  even  associate  with  as  only  other  Jewish  people.

Well,  here  comes  this  Jewish  rabbi,  which  means  teacher,  Jesus.  Jesus,  and  he  said,  "Everyone  is  welcome  at  my  church.  Everyone  is  welcome  at  my  table."  And  he  was  healing  Gentiles,

non -Jewish  people.  He  was,  you  know,  healing  the  lepers,  healing  the  lame,  you  know,  you  know,  giving  sight  to  the  blind,  you  know,

outside  of  Jewish,  the  Jewish  faith,  which  completely  went  against  everything  that  these  high  high  priests  stood  for,  you  know,  this  exclusive  club.

And  so,  you  know,  that  is  one  of  the  many  things  that  Jesus  rubbed  the  people  in  power  the  wrong  way,

who  eventually,  obviously,  put  their  hand  down  and  put  their  foot  down  and  were,  you  know,  involved.  in  his  execution  and  crucifixion  because  they  did  not  want  him,

you  know,  performing  these  miracles,  being  the  Messiah  that  the  Old  Testament  talked  about.  They  wanted  power,  right?  Absolute  power  corrupts  absolutely.  They  wanted  their,

you  know,  prestige  and  their  seats  of  where  they  were  and  they  didn't  want  some  rogue  preacher  coming  in  and  stealing  all  their  thunder  and  making  all  of  their  everything  they've  worked  for  so  hard  to  get  to  be  to  the  position  they  were  in  life  to  have  you  know  be  you  know  have  so  much  less  meaning  so  much  more  power  and  so  much  more  control  and  so  again  one  of  the  things  that  Jesus  did  that  really  made  people  mad

was  he  was  healing  everybody  right  Gentile  Jewish  didn't  matter  to  him  everyone  was  welcome  in  his  church  and  so  again,  the  reason  I  bring  this  up  is  that,

you  know,  I  don't  have,  well,  my  old  man  did  have  a  DeLorean.  When  I  grew  up,  he  did  have  a  DeLorean.  But  we  didn't  have  1 .21  gigawatts  or  Doc  Brown  to  go  back  in  time  because  if  we  could  go  back  in  time  and  document,

you  know,  these  things,  you  know,  this  holy  anointing  oil,  and,  and,  and  watching  these  incredible  miracles  happen,  using  this  medium,  but  there  was  such  a  critical  part  of,

you  know,  the  holy  anointing  oil  was  given  to  disciples  when  they  went  out  two  by  two  to  go  heal  and  given  the  power  and  the  authority  through  the  Holy  Spirit  and  Jesus  and  God  to  grant  these  miracles.

They  were  using  this  function,  this  oil,  this  holy  anointing  oil  with  Canada  awesome  to  do  it.  And  now  if  we  were,  if  I  could  like  document  this  and  bring  it  back  and  put  it  on  a  YouTube  video  and  show  you  happening  it,

what  would  your  belief  be  in  cannabis?  Right?  Would  it  be  a  negative?  Or  would  it  be  a  positive?  Right?

Because  again,  we  like,  obviously  I've  been  in  the  Napoleon  Hill  world  with  Russell  Brunson  and  learning  a  lot  from,  you  know,  the  great  writings.  and  talking  with  Don  Green,

who  runs  the  Napoleon  Hill  Foundation.  And  one  of  the  things  that  Napoleon  Hill  talks  about  a  lot  is  most  people  won't  truly  be  successful,  however  you  define  success,  until  they're  at  least  the  age  of  40,

because  it  takes  that  long  to  unlearn  all  the  things  that  are  wrong,  all  the  things  that  you've  been  conditioned  that  are  wrong,  that  were  generationally  passed  down  to  you.

you,  whatever  that  may  be.  Well,  here's  the  same  thing  here.  It's  like  we  have  been  lied  to.  We  have  been  manipulated.  We  have  been  conditioned  to  believe  that  this  plant  is  evil,

that  this  plant  is  a  gateway  drug.  And  here  we  are  now  in  2024,  over  two -thirds  of  the  country  believed  to  be  evil.

that  there  is  valid  reasons  for  this  plant  to  be  medically  available  to  anybody  who  wants  to  use  it.  Over  two -thirds  of  the  states  in  the  United  States  have  some  access  to  this  plant  medically.

So  we've  come  a  long  way,  which  is  exciting  to  me,  but  I  want  us  to  go  all  the  way.  And  what  is  all  the  way?  All  the  way  is  people  thinking.  thinking  of  cannabasum,

cannabis,  hemp,  whatever  you  want  to  call  it,  like  they  do,  aloe  vera,  freshly  cracking  it  open,  grabbing  one  of  those  leaves  and  you  crack  it  in  half  and  that  liquid  comes  out  and  you  rub  it  on  your  sunburn.

When  people  think  of  cannabasum,  hemp  in  the  same  way  as  aloe  vera  with  sunburn  and  cannabis,  let's  say  for  pain,  then  I  know  we've  come.  We've  made  it.

And  that's  where  the  billion  people  by  2025,  which  is  next  year,  is  the  goal.  Is  to  have  people  think  like,  hey,  you  know,  and  if  you  think  about  it  like,

you  know,  if  we've  got  two  thirds  of  the  country  and  we're  the  guiding  light,  as  we've  heard  from  other  people  who've  come  on  this  podcast  and  said  like,  we're  just  watching  what  you  do.

We  had  a  guest  on  who  was  a  health  practitioner  down  in  Australia  saying  like  really,  it's  like,  well,  the  US  does  is  kind  of  what  sets  the  groundwork  for  the  rest  of  the  world.

There's  talks  of  de -scheduling  cannabis  off  of  the  Controlled  Substances  Act  as  a  schedule  one  right  now.  It's  a  schedule  one,  which  means  it  is  a  addictive  drug  that  has  no  medicinal  value.

That's  how  the  federal  government  looks  at  it  right  now,  which  is  obviously  totally  false.  crazy,  because  for  those  of  you  that  have  heard  this  podcast,  no,  that  it's  affected  you  probably  in  your  life  or  loved  one's  life.

You've  seen  a  miracle,  right?  Especially  a  neurological  element,  like  whether  it  was  epilepsy  and  seizures  or  autism  or  Parkinson's  or  something  drastic,  even  cancer,

shrinking  tumors.  And  so  that's  when  I'll  know  we've  made  it.  When  there's  a  billion  people  that  think  of  cannabis,  just  like  they  think  of  other  plant -based  medicines  like  aloe  vera.

And  then  that's  the  next,  you  know,  raising  of  the  consciousness.  We've  gotta  leave  big  pharma  behind,  right?  That's  what's  gotta  happen,  right?  We  know  there's,  you  know,

these  multinational  companies,  these  publicly  traded  companies.  I  was  just  watching  this  movie  on  Netflix  called  "Pain  Hustlers."  and  it  literally  talked  about  how  these  pharmaceutical  companies,

you  know,  would  do  anything  to  get  these,  you  know,  fentanyl  drugs  and  oxycontin  and  all  of  these  addictive  pain  medications  into  the  hands  of  doctors,

you  know,  greasing  the  wheels,  taking  them  out  on  trips,  whatever  they  had  to  do.  And  that's  the  world  we  live  in.  right?  So  we  get  these  doctors  that  we  trust,  who  we've  been  conditioned  to  trust  for  good  reason,

right?  I  mean,  back  in  the  day,  like  the  family  doctor  would  come  out,  you'd  have  this  little  leather  medicine  bag  and,  you  know,  briefcase  and  he'd  drive  out  to  your  family.  You  know,  I'm  sure  they  still  do  this  in  some  rural  places  in  the  country  and  other  parts  of  the  world.

And  he  would  see  like,  what's  going  on?  Like,  you  know,  he'd  know  the  dog's  name.  he'd  know  the  family  history  he  would  have  maybe  treated  previous  generations  or  his  father  or  or  mother  helped  previous  generations  and  so  they  knew  that  if  there  was  medical  history  you  know  what's  the  diet  like  and  of  course  back  then  like  I  read  a  stat  I  think  it  was  uh  50  years  ago  roughly  or  maybe  70  years  ago  that  uh  almost

half  of  the  country,  47 %  of  the  country,  grew  its  own  food,  ate  food  that  it  grew,  and  today  it's  like  0 .1%.

Grow  food  that  they  eat.  So  that's  a  huge  part  of  the  problem,  is  our  food  in  the  US  is  the  most  toxic,  but  the  most  chemicals  that,  you  know,

80,  some  odd  other  countries.  countries  won't  allow  their  governments  won't  allow  their  citizens  to  eat  the  food  that  we  eat.  It's  against  the  law.

But  our  FDA  has  allowed  these  toxic  chemicals  with  massive  side  effects  and  inflammation,  addictive  sugars  and  salts  and  refined  sugars  and  processed  foods  to  clog  up  our  bodies  and  brains  and  minds  and  bodies.

bodies  and,  you  know,  organs  and  livers  and  kidneys  and  overworking  them  and  circulation.  So  that's  why  we  see  such  a  huge  spike  in  heart  attacks,

in  cancer,  in  diabetes  and  all  these  other  autoimmune  diseases  is  because  we're  being  fed  toxic  poison  and  some  of  these  companies,  they  actually  are,  there's  like  only  eight,

seven  or  eight  companies  that  run  all  the  food,  like  big  food.  food.  And  then  there  are  also  companies  like  Bear  that  also  are  treating  the  people  who  are  sick  on  the  other  end.  So  they're  getting  sick  with  the  food  on  the  front  end,

the  processed  food,  and  then  they're  treating  them  with  pharmaceutical  drugs  on  the  back  end.  So  they're  getting  paid  both  ways.  And  so  they're  getting  paid  selling  them  the  poison  that  gets  them  sick,

and  then  they're  selling  them  more  poison  that  keeps  them  around  as  long  as  possible.  as  possible  with  side  effects  and  can  kill  them.

As  has  happened  with  drugs  like  Vioxx,  they're  getting  money  on  both  sides  of  it.  And  we're  just  the  medium.  We're  just  the  wallet,  right?

We're  just  the  one  who  paid  for  the  food  up  front  to  get  ourselves  sick.  And  then  we  pay  for  the  drugs  on  the  back  end  to  get  ourselves  sick.  And  we  go  to  the  doctor  to  have  them.  them,  you  know,

we  go  to  them  with  our  problem  and  they  do  what  the  best  they  can,  which  is  to  prescribe  drugs.  You  know,  the  average  person  that  walks  into  a,  you  know,  one  of  our  stores  is  on  four  pharmaceutical  drugs.

And  after  taking  this,  you  know,  miracle  plant  consistently  for  30  days,  the  average  person  has  less  than  one  pharmaceutical  drug  that  they  currently  take.

So  again,  the  ultimate  goal  is  to  get  people  to  think  about  plant -based  medicine,  cannabis,  cannabosom,  as  not  the  alternative  drug.

We've  been  using  this  medicinally  for  8 ,000  years,  dating  back  to  the  Orient  and  medical  journals.  We've  been  using  pharmaceutical  drugs,  science,

chemicals,  playing  God.  gerbils,  guinea  pigs  for  about  150  years.  I  think  we  all  can  pretty  much  say  they  failed.

Now  again,  I  know  there's  a  lot  of  great  doctors  and  there's  a  lot  of  people  in  the  medical  field  that  are  there  for  the  right  reasons,  but  they're  not  being  educated  about  this.  They're  not  having,  you  know,  their  food  and  nutrition  understanding  is  not  being...

they're  not  being  trained  on  that.  They're  not  being  trained  on  plant -based  medicine.  You  know  what  I  mean?  They're  just  being  trained  on  the  body  chemistry  of  hearts  and  lungs  and  all  those  kinds  of  things  like  organic  chemistry.

And  then  they're  being  trained  on  by  pharmaceutical  reps,  which  drug  works  best  based  on  which  FDA  approved  research  and  studies.

And  then  they  start  writing  off  label.  That's  what  the  movie  "Pain  Hustlers  on  Netflix"  was  about  was  like,  they  made  this,  you  know,  a  fentanyl  drug  that  was  a  sublingual  oil,

believe  it  or  not.  Sound  familiar?  Which  would  get  into  their  bloodstream  in  five  minutes  just  like  we  talk  about,  hold  it  for  five  minutes.  But  they  were  basically,  which  was  the  fastest  way  to  get  it  into  bloodstream  other  than  using  a  needle.

which  was  in  the  movie  and  which  is  true.  But  they  were  basically  getting  these  people  to  take  these  extremely  addictive,  powerful  painkillers  like  fentanyl,

which  controls  the  part  of  your  brain  that  regulates  your  respiratory  system,  which  is  your  breathing,  which  is  how  we  lost  Tom  Petty,  right?  So  he  gets  off  of  a  three -day  show  at  Hollywood  Bowl  and  it's  one  of  the  biggest  regrets  of  my  life.

I  was  here,  and  I  knew  he  was  there,  and  I  had  always  wanted  to  see  Tom  Petty.  I  never  got  to  see  him.  I  just  didn't  want  to  go  deal  with  LA  traffic,  and  so  I  was  like,  "Oh,  I'll  catch  him  when  he  comes  to  Santa  Barbara  Bowl."  Or  maybe  if  he  comes  even  closer,

sometimes  we'll  get  lucky.  I'm  in  Ventura  about  an  hour  north  of  LA.  And  so  he  comes  after,  it  was  a  long  tour,  you  know,  probably  30  or  40  cities,  and  he  had  done  three...

three  events,  three  concerts,  back  to  back  to  back  at  the  Hollywood  Bowl.  And  you  see  his  last  show,  if  you  look  it  up  on  YouTube,  like  he's  hobbling  around  the  stage  'cause  he  had  like  broken  his  hip.

His  hip  was  really  jacked  up.  So  he  goes  back  to  his  home  in  Malibu  in  LA  and  he's  like  tired  and  he  goes  home  and  he  can't  sleep  'cause  he's  got  pain.

And  so  he  had  a  prescribed  therapy.  fentanyl  patch  from  his  doctor  to  help  with  the  pain  of  the  you  know  injured  hip  so  he  puts  a  patch  on  tries  to  sleep  can't  sleep  can't  get  to  sleep  and  then  he  just  he  grabs  another  patch  to  puts  another  patch  on  to  help  with  the  pain  and  what  happens  well  that  amount  that  dose  of  fentanyl  got  into  his  system  through  transdermal  patch  and  and  got  into  his  brain  and  stopped  the

The  respiratory  system  from  working  so  he  he  stopped  breathing  Because  he  took  too  much  fentanyl  which  he  got  from  his  doctor,  you  know  transdermal  patch  And  that's  those  are  the  facts  right  now  had  Tom  known  about  this  miracle  plant  cannibal  Canobosum,

he  might  still  be  alive.  In  fact,  I'd  like  to  think  he  would  be  if  he  knew  that  you  could  take  sublingual  oils  of  cold -pressed,  whole -plant  cannabis  oil  to  help  with  pain,

because  that's  what  it  does.  It  helps  with  the  inflammation.  And  there's  no  LD50,  which  means  you  take  so  much  of  it.  There's  a  point  where  you  take  so  much  that  you  would  die.

There's  an  LD50.  LD50  for  water,  there's  an  LD50  for  just  about  anything  you  can  think  of.  But  there  isn't  for  this  plant  because  we  have  endocannabinoid  system  in  our  body  as  a  mammal  that,

especially  as  a  human,  that  we  can  actually,  if  we  were  to  take  too  much  of  this  plant,  if  we  took  tons  and  tons  and  tons,  there's  a  way  for  it  to  expel.

any,  any,  any  issues  through  the  endocannabinoid  system.  And  so  had  Tom  Petty  reached  for,  you  know,

a  topical  to  rub  on  his  hip  or  a  sublingual  oil  to  hold  under  his  tongue  for  five  minutes  to  help  with  the  pain  so  he  could  sleep,  then  he'd  still  be  here  or  he  would  have  lived  through  that  night.

And,  you  know,  he  was  only,  I  believe,  like  67  years  old.  old  and  healthy  enough  to  go  on  tour  30 -city  tour  three -day  consecutive  tour  or  concert  in  Hollywood  Bowl  so  again  what's  my  ultimate  goal  is  to  educate  people  so  they  understand  that  this  plant  can  do  no  harm  you  know  especially  when  it's  taken  in  the  raw  form  just  like  eating  it  like  a  salad  or  juicing  it  like  oranges  or  olives  and  Have  a  lifted

consciousness  that  people  no  longer  Kind  of  give  their  responsibility  of  their  own  health  or  to  loved  one's  health  to  someone  else  Do  your  own  research,  you  know  Research  what  I've  been  telling  you  look  up.

Dr.  Raphael  Mishulam.  Look  up.  Dr.  Ethan  Russo.  Look  up.  Dr.  William  Courtney,  you  know  these  pioneers  in  cannabis  research  Do  your  research.  It's  published.

You  know,  they  tried  to  keep  this  from  you  for  the  last  80  years  in  this  country  and  you  know,  roughly  2 ,000  years  when  they  switched  the  word  cannabisim  from  Hebrew  to  Greek.

And  so  again,  what  I'm  hoping  for  is  that  people  look  for  plant -based  medicine.  Your  food  is  your  medicine.  You  are  what  you  eat.  These  are  truths.  And  it's  on  you.

If  you're  sick,  it's  your  body  telling  you  what  you're  doing  is  wrong.  And  you  might  not  know  it's  wrong.  Right?  I  was  raised  holistically.  My  mom,  Janet  Ben -Galer,  has  been  on  research  and  development.

She  leads  for  the  Miracle  Plant  podcast  and  101  Hemp.  You  know,  I  knew.  I  knew.  You  know.  I  knew  these  things.  And  you  can  have  a  free  call  with  her.

If  you  want  to  talk  with  her,  it's  a  free  consultation.  You  just  go  to  askjanit .org  and  set  up  a  free  call  and  have  a  health  consultation  about  food  is  your  medicine,

about  plant -based  medicines,  you  know,  about  what  your  situation  is,  what  we've  seen  work  before,  you  know,  and  she  helped  heal  her  husband  from  cancer.  many  years  ago.

And  when  she  found  the  power  of  this  miracle  plant,  when  we  were  looking  to  heal  my  son  from  a  severe  autism  diagnosis,  she  said  she'd  never  seen  anything  like  it.  In  fact,

she  was  resistant  to  it  in  the  beginning  because  even  she  was  conditioned  that  cannabis  was  bad.  But  when  she  saw  it  with  her  own  eyes  and  started  to  do  more  research  and  meet  with  the  doctors  and  go  on  this...

speaking  circuits  and  conferences  she  knew  that  this  there's  nothing  like  it  there's  no  other  plant  nothing  like  it  to  help  our  bodies  find  balance  and  homeostasis  so  that's  why  I'm  so  excited  to  talk  about  it  to  talk  about  the  chosen  that  talks  about  the  truth  of  the  aromatic  cane  that  was  in  Jesus's  holy  anointing  oil  dates  back  like  I  said  8 ,000  years  that  we  we've  been  using  it  as  a  medicine.

Chris  Bennett's  book,  The  Lost  Sacrament,  is  it  just  came  out  on  Amazon,  which  I  have  a  copy,  which  is  great.  So  you  can  listen  to  his  podcast  that  we  did  with  him  a  few  weeks  ago  and  learn  for  yourself,

like  what  do  I  want?  I  want  you  to  take  control  of  your  own  health.  I  want  you  to  realize  that  you  have  the  power.  You  know  in  the  mind,  you  know,  we  talk  about  secrets  of  success  part  of  being  success  health  is  your  wealth,

right?  And  if  you  believe,  you  know  Clearly  that  you  see  yourself  in  a  healthy  frame  of  mind  and  you  close  your  eyes  and  you  and  you  picture  it  every  day  Every  morning  every  night  that  you're  healthy  and  happy  and  your  body's  working  Whatever  it  is  that  you're  going  through  your  body's  brain  is  like  a  pharmacopia  of  chemicals.

It  is,  right?  And  so  if  you  tell  your  body  that  that's  what  you  are,  the  clear  vision  that  you're  healthy  and  you're  happy  and  you  feel  like  you're  seven  years  old,

your  body  will  release  the  chemicals,  do  the  things  that  it  needs  to  do  to  give  you  that.  and  you're  happy  and  you're  happy  and  you're  happy  and  you're  happy  and  you're  happy  and  you're  happy  and  you're  happy  and  you're  happy  and  you're  happy  that's  what  we  some  of  the  things  that  we  teach  over  at  Secrets  of  Success  you  know  Russell  and  I  and  all  these  incredible  teachers  from  the  1850s  to  the  1950s  you  know  so

that's  part  of  it  for  sure  your  mindset  is  so  important  but  that's  also  again  what  are  the  building  blocks  what  are  you  what  are  you  feeding  your  mind  and  what  are  you  feeding  your  body  everything  you  put  in  your  mind  is  either  positive  or  negative.

Everything  you  put  in  your  mouth  is  either  helping  you  or  hurting  you.  And  look,  I'm  not  saying  don't  ever  have  a  slice  of  cheesecake  or  whatever  dessert  it  is  that  you  love  or  whatever  it  is  of  guilty  pleasure.

Right.  We  just  had  Valentine's  Day  and  it  seems  to  be  a  lot  of,  a  lot  of  holidays  around  here  revolved  around  candy  in  this  country.  country.  What  what  I'm  saying  is  if  you  are  sick  or  a  loved  one  is  sick  the  first  thing  I  recommend  doing  is  just  like  what  we  did  with  my  son  is  to  get  a  food  allergy  test  and  and  understand  what  your  body  naturally  wants  and  and  and  doesn't  want.

We  use  the  company  called  Vitality  Analysis.  Analysis  out  of  Canada.  And  it's  it's  hair  samples.  I  believe  it's  around  $100.

And  it  will  tell  you  tell  you  everything  your  body  should  be  eating  and  shouldn't  be  eating.  We're  all  different.  Some  we  should  be  eating  proteins  like  meats  and  eggs  and  some  of  us  we  shouldn't.

And  so  once  you  start  to  understand  the  baseline  of  okay  what  it  should  be.  I  be  eating?  What  shouldn't  I  be  eating?  And  here's  something  we  all  know  we  shouldn't  be  eating,  right?  We  shouldn't  be  eating  like  Doritos,

Taco  Bell,  right?  McDonald's,  you  know,  Twinkies  that  could  last  longer  than  us,  right?

But  they  put  addictive  sugars  and  salts  in  there  to  make  us  crave  them,  right?  - Right.  it's  it's  all  part  of  the  game  if  they  can  get  us  addicted  to  the  food  on  the  front  end  and  then  get  our  get  the  medical  community  to  write  them  prescriptions  on  the  back  end  and  whether  insurance  pays  for  it  or  Medicaid  pays  for  it  you  pay  for  it  out  of  pocket  or  whatever  it  is  and  they  can  get  kickbacks  and  all  the  things

that  are  in  our  current  system  then  they  win  and  that's  why  they  keep  building  their  you  know  their  stocks  and  having,  you  know,  more  billionaires.

It  was  the  biggest  year  ever  and  I  can  go  on  and  on  about  Big  Pharma.  You  already  know.  I'm  not  telling  you  nothing,  you  don't  know,  right?  What's  the  first  word  that  comes  to  mind  when  I  say  Big  Pharma?  It  ain't  a  good  one.

So  again,  what  am  I  talking  about?  We're  talking  about  the  chosen,  reaching  a  billion  people.  We're  talking  about  the  miracle  plant  reaching  a  billion  people  by  next  year.  We're  talking  about  you  taking  control  of  your  health  by  truly  being  a  watchman,

a  guard  at  the  brain  and  a  guard  at  the  mouth,  what  you  put  into  your  brain.  You  know,  whether  it's  the  people  you  hang  around  with  or  the  shows  that  you  watch  or  the  food  that  you  eat  and  put  into  your  mouth,

the  responsibility  is  yours.  And  if  you're  sick  or  loved  one's  sick,  you've  got  to  make.  make  changes  if  you  want  to  get  better  You've  got  to  make  changes  and  it  maybe  start  with  something  small  right  Did  you  eat  a  fresh  piece  of  fruit  or  vegetable  today?

Start  with  something  small.  Did  you  drink  at  least  a  couple  glasses  of  good  clean  water  like  distilled  water  or  reverse  osmosis  or  natural  spring  water?  Thank  you  are  some  of  the  basics.

But  are  you  being  taught  that?  Are  you  hearing  that  anywhere  else?  Are  our  doctors  in  general  telling  us  these  things?  No,  but  these  are  the  facts.

Our  body  is  the  most  amazing  system  that's  ever  been  created  on  this  earth.  And  if  you  give  it  what  it  needs,  it  can  continue  to  amaze  us  and  do  incredible  things.

If  you  give  it  poison,  it  will  do  its  best,  but  eventually  it  will  succumb.  So  my  challenge  to  you  is  to  keep  feeding  your  mind  and  your  mouth  with  things  that  are  good  for  you,

like  raw  can  of  bosom,  good  fresh  fruits  and  organic  veggies,  and  hang  around  properly.

people  that  lift  you  up,  and  listen  to  podcasts  that  lift  you  up,  read  books  that  lift  you  up,  and  listen  for  the  calling,  listen  for  those  whispers  of  what  is  the  thing  that  you're  supposed  to  be  doing  on  this  earth,

and  then  do  it.  And  if  there's  anything  I  can  do  to  help  you  with  any  of  that,  reach  out  to  me.  You  can  shoot  me  an  email,  Jay  Benton,  B -E -N -T -O -N,  at  101.
