54
00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:40,640
guest mr chris bennett welcome to the

55
00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:43,120
hero paranormal podcast hey it's a

56
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:44,879
pleasure to be here

57
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:47,200
chris i have been itching to talk to you

58
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:48,879
for quite some time

59
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:51,599
about your magnificent work libra 420

60
00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:53,920
not to mention cannabis and the soma

61
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,239
solution you have sex drugs violence in

62
00:03:01,350 --> 00:02:58,879
the bible the laundry list of amazing

63
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:01,360
research you've done and book titles

64
00:03:07,509 --> 00:03:03,920
that lend credence to this is it's

65
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:07,519
really touched me and i think that um

66
00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:09,680
you know a new world is emerging as far

67
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:11,599
as cannabis it's it's seeming like a

68
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:14,239
very new thing with dispensaries that

69
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:16,840
look like banks and you know it's very

70
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:20,080
uh cliche and getting popularized but

71
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:22,720
this is a subject matter that has been

72
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:25,360
around a very long time and you've

73
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:27,920
touched on the spiritual uses and have a

74
00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:32,159
very convincing case of how cannabis has

75
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:35,599
been tied and connected to the occult

76
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:39,120
illuminati freemasons and much much more

77
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:42,319
where do we start this off

78
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:44,400
well you know the story of man's

79
00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:47,280
relationship of with cannabis for its uh

80
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:49,200
psychoactive potential for shamanic

81
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:51,840
purposes for religious purposes

82
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:54,000
is one of the oldest cultural stories

83
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:56,239
around you know carl sagan speculated

84
00:03:59,910 --> 00:03:57,360
that

85
00:04:02,070 --> 00:03:59,920
cannabis was in fact humanity's first

86
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:02,080
agricultural crop and we certainly know

87
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:02,879
from

88
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:06,159
archaeological evidence that uh

89
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:08,799
production of cannabis uh

90
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,120
uh fiber products like rope and cloth

91
00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:13,120
can go anywhere from ten thousand twenty

92
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:16,160
five thousand years uh in regards to its

93
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:18,880
use for intoxicating purposes

94
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,440
uh there's evidence from indo-european

95
00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:24,000
sites uh going back at least fifty five

96
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:25,280
hundred years

97
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:28,639
uh from the ukraine romania places like

98
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:30,880
that that it was used in rituals

99
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:33,360
involving funeral practices

100
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:35,440
and this this sort of use continued on

101
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:37,440
with indo-european culture for thousands

102
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:40,400
of years so the ritual use of cannabis

103
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,080
is you know really older than any

104
00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:44,000
existing religions

105
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:47,199
and uh um as you mentioned i've tried to

106
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:49,120
make a case to show

107
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:52,800
its role in the inception period of a

108
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:53,840
number

109
00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:57,280
of uh long long-time world religions uh

110
00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,600
um and it's it's really fascinating the

111
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:01,600
the sort of archaeological evidence and

112
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:03,680
the textual evidence that there is out

113
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:06,960
there to back up such claims

114
00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,400
yeah and you've um backed these up in a

115
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:12,639
in a way that was previously unavailable

116
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:14,240
at least to my eyes

117
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,880
with a variety of books um we've named a

118
00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:18,400
few

119
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:22,160
others are green gold the tree of life

120
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:24,400
marijuana in magic and religion

121
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:26,160
um you have sex drugs violence in the

122
00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:28,400
bible there are numerous books that

123
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,759
you've published and

124
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,680
you've published various articles on the

125
00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:33,120
same subject

126
00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:36,160
and something that um i i like about the

127
00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:39,520
scope of your research is that

128
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:42,080
usually people do not realize the

129
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:44,960
pivotal role that marijuana has played

130
00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:46,400
in the foundation of ancient

131
00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:48,479
civilizations

132
00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:49,680
yeah

133
00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:54,639
culture grew out of agriculture and as

134
00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:57,280
we've cultivated cannabis has cultivated

135
00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:58,720
us

136
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:00,639
man there's a lot to be seen in that we

137
00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:04,800
almost have a symbiotic relationship

138
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:07,199
with this plant you know like

139
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:08,960
in regards to human culture but even

140
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:11,600
like uh biologically you know the the

141
00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:14,319
the receptor sites uh that the uh

142
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:16,960
cannabinoids attached to only react that

143
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:18,560
way because of their similarity to

144
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:20,560
endocannabinoids that occur naturally in

145
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:22,240
the body and

146
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,520
rare things like gamma linoleic acid

147
00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:27,039
found in the hemp seeds all found in

148
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:28,720
human mother's milk and there's

149
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:30,560
endocannabinoids and human mothers milk

150
00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:32,240
as well

151
00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:33,039
and

152
00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:35,520
other biological kind of connections you

153
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:38,720
know and uh you know

154
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:40,560
there may be some sort of explanation

155
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:42,000
that we kind of figure out you know if

156
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:44,080
you are what you eat we've been growing

157
00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:46,960
this plant and our own human waste for

158
00:06:52,150 --> 00:06:49,520
thousands and thousands of years you

159
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:52,160
know and having this interaction with it

160
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:55,520
and uh um you know it's a very keen

161
00:06:59,510 --> 00:06:57,199
thing and you know i i believe that

162
00:07:02,469 --> 00:06:59,520
cannabis is the very tree of life you

163
00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:02,479
know uh um and that it's here in this

164
00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:05,919
time uh uh by no accident that we're

165
00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:09,199
rediscovering that this lost history

166
00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:11,680
uh um and uh there's something very

167
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:14,720
important happening with cannabis and

168
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:16,960
going to happen the best is yet to come

169
00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:19,280
in regards to cannabis is this

170
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:20,880
information

171
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,720
about the religious use you know i've

172
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,800
been doing this research for over 30

173
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:26,319
years

174
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:28,400
has yet to really

175
00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:30,720
sink in outside of you know the more

176
00:07:34,469 --> 00:07:33,039
deeper seekers in the cannabis world but

177
00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:34,479
it will

178
00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:37,120
and and when it does it's going to cause

179
00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:39,280
a revolution in thought in the

180
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:41,360
theological world

181
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:44,400
in in a very powerful way

182
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:47,840
i agree and it it feels as if

183
00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:50,000
at least in my

184
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,319
opinion that as soon as there was money

185
00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:54,400
to be made on it by major corporations

186
00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:58,080
as we're seeing in this era that uh of

187
00:08:01,270 --> 00:08:00,000
modern dispensaries it's no longer the

188
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:01,280
mom and pop

189
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:03,840
on the corner doing this um as soon as

190
00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:06,720
there's profit to be made and you know

191
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:09,440
public shares and board meetings and all

192
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:11,520
of this in the medical industry of

193
00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:13,759
course it is being uh

194
00:08:19,029 --> 00:08:15,919
it is being utilized for

195
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:19,039
for profit making and um going back just

196
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:21,520
a little bit i want to get into you

197
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:24,560
mentioned your search and wisdom

198
00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:27,039
into this research and you you've really

199
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:29,280
delved deeply

200
00:08:33,909 --> 00:08:32,240
what got you started down this pathway

201
00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:33,919
what was

202
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:38,080
the spark that lit the fire to to get

203
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:39,039
you to

204
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:41,440
produce so much literature and offer so

205
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:43,839
much to us in the form of all of your

206
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:45,920
research

207
00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:48,160
well i had a very powerful religious

208
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,880
experience with cannabis uh a little

209
00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:52,880
over 30 years ago

210
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:55,279
in the winter of 89.90

211
00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:57,279
and uh um

212
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:00,880
that that led me to try to understand

213
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,519
uh um what had taken place whether i

214
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:05,519
just had you know i was stoned and just

215
00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:07,600
tripped out or whether there was

216
00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:11,600
anything to that uh experience you know

217
00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:13,279
um i can tell you about that i guess

218
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:15,200
it's a story i pulled off and i get

219
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:18,000
asked about this a lot but uh in the in

220
00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:20,000
the 80s and 90s i was

221
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:21,920
really just a hardcore surfer i grew

222
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:23,040
weed

223
00:09:26,870 --> 00:09:24,480
worked a few nights a week as a night

224
00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:26,880
watchman and a fish plant and a series

225
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:28,959
of events brought about this religious

226
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:31,200
experience

227
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:34,560
and the first of these was

228
00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:37,040
the catholic church was in a big scandal

229
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:41,040
here in canada it evolved uh uh um

230
00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:42,800
an orphanage where children have been

231
00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:45,040
being molested uh decades before and

232
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:46,399
these people had grown up and they

233
00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:47,760
started coming out making these

234
00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:49,680
accusations against the church and it

235
00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:52,000
was a this is like common

236
00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:54,080
type of news nowadays but this time it

237
00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:55,680
was kind of the first story here in

238
00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:59,360
canada that broke the silence on this uh

239
00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:00,959
troubling matter

240
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:02,880
and so i thought that's so weird you

241
00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:04,880
know i was like you know it wasn't my

242
00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:06,640
parents weren't really hardcore

243
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:08,079
christians or anything but i just always

244
00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:09,519
kind of believed the bible you know

245
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:11,839
naturally just culturally and i thought

246
00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:13,360
well i'm gonna read the bible see what

247
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:14,959
this thing is all about you know if you

248
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:16,640
it seems so weird that that was

249
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:18,800
happening to me and so i bought a bible

250
00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:20,320
and i started reading it i couldn't get

251
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:21,600
into it i stuck it in the same

252
00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:23,760
watchman's office the fish plant

253
00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:25,440
and then

254
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:28,560
coinciding with this a friend of mine

255
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:30,240
recorded a

256
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:32,560
documentary on him and at this time the

257
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:34,320
term hemp itself

258
00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:36,399
had kind of fallen out of

259
00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:38,480
the language here in canada in regards

260
00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:41,360
to cannabis you know uh um i did we

261
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:43,279
didn't even know what hemp was when

262
00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:45,680
people started talking about it uh um

263
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:47,279
and then he says well it's cannabis and

264
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:48,800
he can make all this stuff well not you

265
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:50,240
know group cannabis i thought i knew

266
00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:52,399
everything he was to know about it and i

267
00:10:55,670 --> 00:10:53,839
was like no way and then i started

268
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:55,680
looking it up with encyclopedias and

269
00:10:59,910 --> 00:10:57,920
sure enough there was this whole uh

270
00:11:02,230 --> 00:10:59,920
fascinating history about its industrial

271
00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:02,240
applications and where i lived on the

272
00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:04,079
west coast of vancouver island there was

273
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:06,000
a great controversy about the logging of

274
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:08,160
last old growth rainforest clackwood

275
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:09,040
sound

276
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:11,440
and my family you know my brother was

277
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:14,079
the iwa the union camp chairman for the

278
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:15,920
loggers and stuff so i've worked in the

279
00:11:19,829 --> 00:11:18,000
forest industry and things myself

280
00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:19,839
uh um and all of a sudden there was this

281
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:21,839
big environmental movement happening out

282
00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:23,680
there trying to save the last old growth

283
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:25,839
coastal rainforest in canada

284
00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:27,600
and i thought oh well we could make

285
00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:29,360
paper out of him and i started becoming

286
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:31,680
really interested in it and then around

287
00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:33,680
the same time the gulf war started in

288
00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:36,640
iraq and i've seen this little uh

289
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:39,200
clip it about uh saddam hussein how he

290
00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:40,480
thought he was connected to

291
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:43,360
nebuchadnezzar the last king of babylon

292
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:44,320
and

293
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,480
had fired a scud missile

294
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:48,800
into israel and uh nebuchadnezzar

295
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:51,600
conquered the the the the israelites in

296
00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:54,959
the old testament uh storyline and uh

297
00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:56,399
one night i was like sitting on this

298
00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:58,399
fish plant smoking a joint and there was

299
00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:00,160
an ad for a sermon this is the time

300
00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:02,800
before the internet so uh new uh

301
00:12:06,629 --> 00:12:04,399
television stations all that type of

302
00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:06,639
stuff had uh printouts in the newspaper

303
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:08,240
and there was an ad for a sermon pat

304
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:11,760
robertson was revelations 18 the fall of

305
00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:14,160
babylon there's robert smith pulpit and

306
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:16,160
behind him he had picture tanks and jets

307
00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:17,360
and i was like

308
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,320
wow he's tying in this gulf war

309
00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:22,800
with uh the book of revelation and you

310
00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:24,240
know we're you know we're getting close

311
00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:25,360
to the end of the millennium here i

312
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:27,279
think everybody was kind of in a bit of

313
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:30,160
a apocalyptic fervor there as we

314
00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:32,720
approached 2000 and i've seen the omen

315
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:34,079
when i was a kid and i thought well i'm

316
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:35,519
going to read the book of revelation

317
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:38,000
right now you know and so i opened it up

318
00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:39,760
and i start reading it and john he's

319
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:42,240
given a scroll and it takes as sweet as

320
00:12:46,310 --> 00:12:43,920
honey in his mouth and he swallows it he

321
00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:46,320
begins to prophesize and i was like what

322
00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:48,880
has he eaten and then i started reading

323
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:50,639
further and it's talking about the

324
00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:52,880
clothes made of sackcloth and

325
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:54,959
incense billowing clouds of incense with

326
00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:56,720
the prayers of all the saints and i was

327
00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:58,959
like this is trippy and i got to the end

328
00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:01,839
of the bible and i read revelations 22

329
00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:03,600
and it says on either side of the river

330
00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:05,440
of life to the tree of life

331
00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:07,360
burying 12 manners of fruit yielding is

332
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:09,519
fruit each month and the leaves of the

333
00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:11,920
tree are for the healing of the nations

334
00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:13,680
and when i read that i had this

335
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:16,560
experience where i felt like light just

336
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:17,920
beamed into me

337
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:19,519
and that this was a reference to

338
00:13:24,150 --> 00:13:21,920
cannabis and all these different fruits

339
00:13:26,069 --> 00:13:24,160
where it's uh industrial applications

340
00:13:28,790 --> 00:13:26,079
that we could use to save the planet you

341
00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:28,800
know whether that be uh biomass fuels to

342
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,760
replace petroleum or uh hemp paper

343
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:33,680
renewable crop instead of cutting down

344
00:13:37,829 --> 00:13:35,360
old growth forests to make pulp and

345
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:37,839
paper uh or whether it be like the

346
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:39,680
protein from the you know the hemp seed

347
00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:41,680
itself is the most one of the most pure

348
00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:43,519
forms of digestible proteins because

349
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:45,279
it's the rich source of essential fatty

350
00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:46,320
acids

351
00:13:51,189 --> 00:13:48,399
and you know hemp cloth replace soil

352
00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:51,199
depleting cotton the list is ends right

353
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:53,360
um and that the healing leads were this

354
00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:55,760
medicine and so you know i called it my

355
00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:57,440
wife at the time my my first wife got

356
00:14:01,910 --> 00:14:00,480
married a few times uh um and uh i

357
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:01,920
started talking she thought i was having

358
00:14:06,069 --> 00:14:04,160
some tournamental breakdown

359
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:06,079
and i'm like yeah i didn't get picked up

360
00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:07,920
put into a hospital that night because i

361
00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:09,920
was like really

362
00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:11,839
in a manic kind of state and then the

363
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:13,600
next day i got up

364
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:15,440
and i was like wow is there anything to

365
00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:18,160
that or was i just tripping out or what

366
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:20,480
and i thought well if there is

367
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,040
then somebody somewhere else will have

368
00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:25,519
had an experience like this and there'll

369
00:14:29,189 --> 00:14:27,040
be something written about it somewhere

370
00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:29,199
and i just kind of went in this

371
00:14:34,949 --> 00:14:32,800
kind of manic state trying to

372
00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:34,959
identify what it happened to me

373
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:37,839
and accumulating information on the role

374
00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:40,240
of cannabis in in various religions you

375
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:42,800
know and this went on for decades right

376
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:44,880
is the only thing i actually write about

377
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:47,120
it written like four huge books working

378
00:14:51,670 --> 00:14:49,199
on the fifth but they've all been uh

379
00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:51,680
related to this uh same experience you

380
00:14:56,069 --> 00:14:54,800
know and i i'm saying that 30 years

381
00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:56,079
later

382
00:15:02,150 --> 00:14:56,880
uh

383
00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:02,160
is out there now to show that cannabis

384
00:15:07,189 --> 00:15:03,839
just from a purely you could be a total

385
00:15:09,350 --> 00:15:07,199
atheist and i think if i laid down

386
00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:09,360
uh um cannabis role to you in the

387
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:12,000
ancient world uh particularly in the

388
00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:13,360
near east

389
00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:15,519
you would see that cannabis was in fact

390
00:15:20,069 --> 00:15:17,839
recognized as the tree of life

391
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:20,079
in assyria by agent

392
00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:21,760
canaanites and

393
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:24,480
polytheistic hebrews

394
00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,120
and it is here again

395
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:29,519
and it's what happened to me

396
00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:32,320
was real something did did did feed me

397
00:15:37,189 --> 00:15:35,279
information and i followed up on it and

398
00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:37,199
it's proven itself and i'm i'm quite

399
00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:39,600
convinced of that and you know happy to

400
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:41,519
debate it with anybody

401
00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:44,399
it's it's a grand mystical secret and

402
00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:47,199
it's amazing how you had a

403
00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:49,040
spiritual experience and

404
00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:51,279
literally stumbled upon it but

405
00:15:55,509 --> 00:15:53,839
i i find that you know it's very

406
00:15:58,470 --> 00:15:55,519
interesting i've been looking deeply

407
00:15:59,269 --> 00:15:58,480
into you know alchemical philosophers

408
00:16:02,310 --> 00:15:59,279
and

409
00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:02,320
a e weight in his book lives of the

410
00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:05,839
alchemistical philosophers says the gold

411
00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:08,480
of the philosopher is not a medal and

412
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:11,120
you you find this throughout history in

413
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:13,600
the search of health and happiness that

414
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:15,360
many

415
00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:17,920
basically

416
00:16:24,230 --> 00:16:21,120
i guess allude to the fact i don't

417
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:24,240
it's funny how this is skirted so often

418
00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:26,240
but um and and this is why i want to

419
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:28,720
bring up soma which was unquestionably

420
00:16:33,189 --> 00:16:31,040
the greatest and holiest of these

421
00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:33,199
ancient indian worships

422
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:34,480
and

423
00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:37,120
can we go into soma the offered beverage

424
00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:38,880
that was used for religious and

425
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:41,360
spiritual experiences and

426
00:16:48,069 --> 00:16:45,440
how how you came across that connection

427
00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:48,079
well you know uh um when i first started

428
00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:50,079
researching it i wrote my first books uh

429
00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:52,079
greenville the tree of life and sex

430
00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:54,240
drugs violence in the bible i i was

431
00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:57,120
fully accepting uh our gordon lawson's

432
00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:58,320
theory

433
00:17:02,069 --> 00:17:01,040
of the flying carrick mushroom right uh

434
00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:02,079
um

435
00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:04,640
it was just so was you know well it it's

436
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:07,039
just so accepted by everybody and i knew

437
00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:09,760
all sorts of people that i respected

438
00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:13,280
that also held that view like carl rock

439
00:17:17,029 --> 00:17:15,199
for instance and uh

440
00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:17,039
other other people

441
00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:19,039
um and uh

442
00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:21,199
i didn't really start looking into it

443
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:23,600
till much later and it was like

444
00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:25,280
you know

445
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:26,720
i don't think people

446
00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:28,640
have the opportunity

447
00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:30,880
to write the type of books i write you

448
00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:34,480
know even like 30 years ago because

449
00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:36,320
back in those days you were you know you

450
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:38,240
were pretty much tied to libraries and

451
00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:40,320
what you could access through libraries

452
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:42,559
and private collections and stuff like

453
00:17:46,150 --> 00:17:43,840
that but

454
00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:46,160
in our own time

455
00:17:51,909 --> 00:17:49,360
google has scanned millions of books

456
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:51,919
and put them all in a huge database so

457
00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:54,640
you can do an index search

458
00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:57,039
of like hundreds of libraries thousands

459
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:00,559
of libraries worth of books with just uh

460
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:02,880
a quick look around you know what i mean

461
00:18:05,909 --> 00:18:04,160
and uh

462
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:05,919
and i was you know i just have to be

463
00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:07,760
born in that time period like the rest

464
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:08,880
of us where

465
00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:12,000
uh this was new you know and so

466
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:14,160
by starting to google around a little

467
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:16,640
bit you know word-faced combinations

468
00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:19,120
like soma and hayoma the persian

469
00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:21,200
counterpart of soma

470
00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:22,960
from the avested religion that grew

471
00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:26,000
disrationism and hamp and cannabis and

472
00:18:31,350 --> 00:18:28,960
various spellings and uh whatnot

473
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:31,360
all of a sudden i was able to get all

474
00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:32,320
access

475
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:34,400
to previous people you know a century

476
00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:35,280
ago

477
00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:38,640
uh um and in between that you know that

478
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:41,120
had all speculated about cannabis and

479
00:18:44,549 --> 00:18:42,880
soma and there's actually been a pretty

480
00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:44,559
strong case for it

481
00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:46,400
even before

482
00:18:52,150 --> 00:18:50,000
i had delved into this you know

483
00:18:55,230 --> 00:18:52,160
but the current i think you know like

484
00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:55,240
based on the most up-to-date

485
00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:56,960
archaeological

486
00:19:01,430 --> 00:19:00,000
and textual evidence i think that the

487
00:19:03,190 --> 00:19:01,440
case for

488
00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,200
uh cannabis and soma and you have to

489
00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:04,880
remember that

490
00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:08,160
it was known as soma in india that was

491
00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:09,360
part of the

492
00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:11,440
vedic religion this was a religion that

493
00:19:14,549 --> 00:19:13,360
came into india

494
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:14,559
with area

495
00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:19,350
people

496
00:19:22,789 --> 00:19:20,320
and

497
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:22,799
they also spread to other areas of the

498
00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:25,520
world such as into persia

499
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:27,679
where they had the invested religion and

500
00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:30,080
they had a similar sacrament called

501
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:32,320
kaoman the only difference is the

502
00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:34,559
dialectic changes these languages and

503
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:37,200
religions grew out of an identical

504
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:39,760
earlier ancestor right you know and we

505
00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:42,160
know this because the similarity in the

506
00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:44,240
text and the similarity in the languages

507
00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:45,520
and whatnot you know it's not like a

508
00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:47,360
theory or anything like that

509
00:19:53,669 --> 00:19:50,640
um and um they were connected with wider

510
00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:53,679
indo-european groups such as systems uh

511
00:19:58,150 --> 00:19:56,559
who who are well-known uh nomadic uh

512
00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:58,160
people that were you know one of the

513
00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:00,320
first peoples to domesticate the horse

514
00:20:04,830 --> 00:20:01,360
and things

515
00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:04,840
and they spread even into far off by

516
00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:07,679
china and we know that they were there

517
00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:09,440
because there's been a lot of recent

518
00:20:15,110 --> 00:20:11,919
archaeological evidence

519
00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:15,120
uh um uh regarding indo-european mummies

520
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:17,440
that were uh found in central china and

521
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:19,760
that uh these are variously uh known

522
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:21,440
under different names but popularly the

523
00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:24,320
yushi or the gucci tribes and we know

524
00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:27,120
they were indo-european-speaking uh

525
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:29,440
uh uh uh indo-european people living

526
00:20:32,789 --> 00:20:31,520
amongst the han chinese the indigenous

527
00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:32,799
chinese

528
00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:35,440
and they were very much into cannabis we

529
00:20:38,310 --> 00:20:36,799
know this because of really

530
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:38,320
well-preserved

531
00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:41,760
archaeological evidence uh that survives

532
00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:45,120
in this very arid dry cold climate

533
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:47,840
um and we found you know bouquets of

534
00:20:52,149 --> 00:20:49,520
female cannabis

535
00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:52,159
uh preserved cannabis buds

536
00:20:56,630 --> 00:20:53,760
uh uh um

537
00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:56,640
tools and then alters uh used for

538
00:21:00,950 --> 00:20:58,320
burning cannons that were used in

539
00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:00,960
funerary rights much like the ones i

540
00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:03,600
mentioned earlier by indo-europeans even

541
00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:05,679
thousands of years earlier than this and

542
00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:08,640
so this is uh this time period uh in

543
00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:10,400
china that i'm talking about is like

544
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:16,159
from 2800 to about 2600 2500 or so uh

545
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:18,720
that these artifacts are all from right

546
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:21,760
and um in china

547
00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:24,400
the name for uh given like they have a

548
00:21:29,909 --> 00:21:26,240
long history of cannabis themselves

549
00:21:32,789 --> 00:21:29,919
independent uh largely for fiber and

550
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:32,799
food purposes but they began using a

551
00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:33,760
term

552
00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:35,760
while these indo-europeans were in the

553
00:21:38,310 --> 00:21:37,039
region

554
00:21:44,230 --> 00:21:38,320
huma

555
00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:44,240
cannabis because they burnt it but also

556
00:21:49,990 --> 00:21:47,120
a city in tennessee uh scythian's a

557
00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:50,000
group and one of the scythian names was

558
00:21:54,310 --> 00:21:52,720
the hill of varga the gatherers of

559
00:21:55,909 --> 00:21:54,320
hayoma

560
00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:55,919
because they transported they were

561
00:22:01,110 --> 00:21:57,360
highly nomadic and they know from

562
00:22:04,149 --> 00:22:01,120
scythian artifacts that they both drank

563
00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:04,159
and burnt cannabis there's uh numbers of

564
00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:06,240
uh fines from scythian tombs these go

565
00:22:09,990 --> 00:22:08,159
all the way into the russian steps and

566
00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:10,000
all over the place they're all over the

567
00:22:15,029 --> 00:22:12,559
place into western europe and recipients

568
00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:15,039
are largely credited with spreading the

569
00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:17,280
ritual use of cannabis throughout the

570
00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:20,000
ancient world as well as a lot of the

571
00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:21,760
common uh like a lot of the

572
00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:24,240
indo-european languages french german

573
00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:26,960
english uh can be shown to come from the

574
00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:29,600
same indo-european root [\h__\h]

575
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:32,400
uh uh so even our own candidates

576
00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:34,320
which doesn't happen from the latin but

577
00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:36,240
comes down to the same indo-european

578
00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:37,440
roots right

579
00:22:42,789 --> 00:22:40,640
and uh we've uh it physiant tombs they

580
00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:42,799
found incense burners

581
00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:45,440
as well as gold goblets uh that were

582
00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:47,840
used to drink preparation of cannabis uh

583
00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:49,360
mixed with opium

584
00:22:52,549 --> 00:22:50,720
and it's believed by russian

585
00:22:55,430 --> 00:22:52,559
archaeologists that this was evidence of

586
00:22:58,230 --> 00:22:55,440
aomo the drink of of the zoroastrians

587
00:23:00,470 --> 00:22:58,240
and uh it's quite clear the zoroastrians

588
00:23:02,789 --> 00:23:00,480
and the uh scythians

589
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:02,799
although they were known in persia sacas

590
00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:04,960
uh interacted heavily in trade and

591
00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:06,960
cultural traditions

592
00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:12,080
and um there's a site that was uh known

593
00:23:17,029 --> 00:23:14,080
as a training like uh this

594
00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:17,039
the the chinese sites where this

595
00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:18,720
uh indo-europeans have gone they've

596
00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:21,280
altered our concept of trade between the

597
00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:23,840
ancient world before things like the

598
00:23:28,950 --> 00:23:26,240
spice road were thought to have opened

599
00:23:30,950 --> 00:23:28,960
up around 200 bc now it's gone back a

600
00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:30,960
thousand maybe even two thousand years

601
00:23:36,789 --> 00:23:33,360
earlier than that and we know from

602
00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:36,799
artifacts uh exchanged uh found that

603
00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:39,120
these sites that the the the chinese

604
00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:40,080
gushi

605
00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:41,440
uh the people in china the

606
00:23:47,190 --> 00:23:43,679
indo-europeans and china that they were

607
00:23:50,110 --> 00:23:47,200
in trade with a region in afghanistan

608
00:23:53,269 --> 00:23:50,120
known as the bactria margiana

609
00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:53,279
archaeological complex and this is one

610
00:23:58,630 --> 00:23:55,840
of the spots that the invested religion

611
00:24:01,909 --> 00:23:58,640
that used hayoma uh um

612
00:24:04,230 --> 00:24:01,919
were located and in this site a russian

613
00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:04,240
archaeologist victor sarayanath has

614
00:24:08,870 --> 00:24:06,240
found three temple sites about the size

615
00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:08,880
of football fields and half these temple

616
00:24:14,310 --> 00:24:11,039
sites were dedicated

617
00:24:15,669 --> 00:24:14,320
to the preparation of a sacred beverage

618
00:24:19,350 --> 00:24:15,679
that contained

619
00:24:23,269 --> 00:24:19,360
cannabis ephedra and in some cases opium

620
00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:23,279
and um the ideas and this you know

621
00:24:29,029 --> 00:24:27,440
i don't want to present this as my own

622
00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:29,039
material on building this out of a

623
00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:32,240
variety of other researchers the idea

624
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:35,520
come up with a number of different uh uh

625
00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:38,480
uh linguists is that

626
00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:42,400
the chinese term huma hayoma

627
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:44,559
came down with the scythians who were

628
00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:47,120
known as hayoma varga and burnt cannabis

629
00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:49,440
and used chemists from archaeological

630
00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:50,640
evidence

631
00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:53,039
into this region known as bactria

632
00:24:58,630 --> 00:24:56,159
marginal archaeological complex

633
00:25:01,190 --> 00:24:58,640
and came with a name that it traveled

634
00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:01,200
with from china huma and this became

635
00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:04,320
hayoma and through further dialectic

636
00:25:09,830 --> 00:25:07,440
changes uh when these these people

637
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:09,840
expanded into india where the aryan

638
00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:11,760
invasion of india

639
00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:15,360
uh um became soma of the vedas you know

640
00:25:19,510 --> 00:25:17,600
um and so that's kind of like the

641
00:25:20,549 --> 00:25:19,520
nutshell version but there's all sorts

642
00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:20,559
of other

643
00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:23,200
materials stories linguistic stuff

644
00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:25,600
related to that but that's kind of the

645
00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:28,720
basis for the claim you know uh and you

646
00:25:34,149 --> 00:25:30,640
know when i when i really took a closer

647
00:25:36,549 --> 00:25:34,159
look at watson's material regarding uh

648
00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:36,559
his claims about soma

649
00:25:39,909 --> 00:25:37,360
is

650
00:25:41,269 --> 00:25:39,919
that you know he's really far-reaching

651
00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:41,279
like there's you know you got to

652
00:25:45,909 --> 00:25:43,520
remember the the the term soma in the

653
00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:45,919
vedas is used in a variety of different

654
00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:47,760
ways some was a god

655
00:25:51,990 --> 00:25:50,640
somas the moon some was a drink some was

656
00:25:54,549 --> 00:25:52,000
a plant

657
00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:54,559
and uh um you know the moon in the sky

658
00:26:00,470 --> 00:25:57,600
was seen as a celestial cup of some from

659
00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:00,480
which the gods drank and as it waned uh

660
00:26:03,430 --> 00:26:01,840
it was being drunk and as it was

661
00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:03,440
replenished it was being refilled and

662
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:05,440
all the soma rituals were wound up with

663
00:26:08,470 --> 00:26:07,200
the with the movement of the moon

664
00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:08,480
because of that and probably for

665
00:26:12,710 --> 00:26:10,960
agricultural purposes as well you know

666
00:26:16,149 --> 00:26:12,720
uh following the seasons and all that

667
00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:16,159
type of stuff um uh and boston was often

668
00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:18,480
interpreting these references that are

669
00:26:23,029 --> 00:26:20,400
clearly to the moon as you know for

670
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:23,039
building his identification of soma and

671
00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:25,760
in his arguments uh for soma

672
00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:28,400
he left out the tenth mandela of the rig

673
00:26:32,230 --> 00:26:29,360
vettel

674
00:26:33,350 --> 00:26:32,240
and the other uh um vedic text

675
00:26:38,149 --> 00:26:33,360
uh

676
00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:38,159
was referring to a substitution well

677
00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:40,640
substitution did come into play uh at a

678
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:42,480
later time this is why the identity of

679
00:26:47,269 --> 00:26:44,880
someone was lost but it has nothing to

680
00:26:49,669 --> 00:26:47,279
do with it uh uh uh being a mushroom

681
00:26:52,149 --> 00:26:49,679
which was quite clearly prohibited

682
00:26:54,950 --> 00:26:52,159
mushrooms were prohibited food for for

683
00:26:56,870 --> 00:26:54,960
brahmins and other people uh um going

684
00:26:58,789 --> 00:26:56,880
way back in the vedic religion because

685
00:27:01,510 --> 00:26:58,799
it was you know identified with growing

686
00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:01,520
a manure and things like that right

687
00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:06,159
which was was unclean in their eyes

688
00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:08,480
so uh yeah there's there's a lot more

689
00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:10,080
more to it than that that you can

690
00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:12,480
explain in a in a brief description but

691
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:15,919
that's kind of the basic uh uh case for

692
00:27:20,549 --> 00:27:18,480
for cannabis and hayoma and if you

693
00:27:22,389 --> 00:27:20,559
search around on cannabis and soma or

694
00:27:24,549 --> 00:27:22,399
helm online you'll probably find some

695
00:27:26,389 --> 00:27:24,559
articles i wrote right go into more

696
00:27:29,510 --> 00:27:26,399
detail and link to other material

697
00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:31,510
it's fascinating the effort you've been

698
00:27:37,029 --> 00:27:35,360
mind-blowing man just mind-blowing and

699
00:27:37,909 --> 00:27:37,039
nothing more it's just mind-blowing to

700
00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:37,919
me

701
00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:39,120
how

702
00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:44,480
kind of bringing it back to a bit more

703
00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:46,640
of a western um

704
00:27:51,230 --> 00:27:50,080
idea or ideology of the illuminati um

705
00:27:55,590 --> 00:27:51,240
bavaria

706
00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:55,600
1776 it is very well documented

707
00:27:58,630 --> 00:27:56,480
that

708
00:28:01,350 --> 00:27:58,640
weisop and his

709
00:28:02,630 --> 00:28:01,360
cohorts were partaking of this

710
00:28:04,470 --> 00:28:02,640
and

711
00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:04,480
partaking of the tree of life as you've

712
00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:07,760
said and i find it also interesting

713
00:28:14,549 --> 00:28:09,120
that

714
00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:14,559
pre-predates

715
00:28:21,029 --> 00:28:18,880
uh 1776 out of berlin in 1714

716
00:28:23,029 --> 00:28:21,039
uh by the title a true and complete

717
00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:23,039
preparation of the philosopher's stone

718
00:28:30,230 --> 00:28:26,240
by the order of the golden rosicrucians

719
00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:30,240
again this is mentioned and when we come

720
00:28:34,470 --> 00:28:32,480
even to the united states

721
00:28:37,510 --> 00:28:34,480
and the

722
00:28:39,269 --> 00:28:37,520
the beginnings of the mystery schools

723
00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:39,279
here in the united states with pb

724
00:28:42,710 --> 00:28:40,480
randolph

725
00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:42,720
and the rosicrucians here the oldest

726
00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:44,640
secret societies here

727
00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:46,880
it is also

728
00:28:54,149 --> 00:28:52,000
amazing that pb randolph was the first

729
00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:54,159
major hashish dealer and i found it

730
00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:55,840
interesting that

731
00:28:58,789 --> 00:28:57,360
he was meeting with spiritualists

732
00:29:00,870 --> 00:28:58,799
mediums and others working with

733
00:29:02,070 --> 00:29:00,880
magnetism mesmerism

734
00:29:07,510 --> 00:29:02,080
and

735
00:29:09,430 --> 00:29:07,520
believe he first used hashish in france

736
00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:09,440
in 1855

737
00:29:13,830 --> 00:29:10,840
and there

738
00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:13,840
were there there is a long

739
00:29:19,269 --> 00:29:16,640
list to the aid to the development of

740
00:29:22,149 --> 00:29:19,279
clairvoyance allowing other feats with

741
00:29:24,389 --> 00:29:22,159
the use of of these substances

742
00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:24,399
so this has permeated

743
00:29:30,789 --> 00:29:26,640
pretty much every culture

744
00:29:32,710 --> 00:29:30,799
and it it just it blows my mind that i i

745
00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:32,720
recently heard and unfortunately i can't

746
00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:34,320
find the information

747
00:29:38,389 --> 00:29:36,720
that in the bible uh it's in your book

748
00:29:41,269 --> 00:29:38,399
as well but i can't find it i'm looking

749
00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:41,279
for it but it's somewhere in the 777

750
00:29:47,029 --> 00:29:44,880
pages of magic here um

751
00:29:49,430 --> 00:29:47,039
that a lot of this anointing with oils

752
00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:49,440
that we hear of biblically

753
00:29:55,350 --> 00:29:51,760
may have very well been cbd oils or

754
00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:56,870
absolutely well this is something i've

755
00:30:01,190 --> 00:29:59,679
written a lot about uh um and this goes

756
00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:01,200
back uh you know i think the most

757
00:30:06,549 --> 00:30:02,960
compelling evidence

758
00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:06,559
recent archaeological evidence out of

759
00:30:10,870 --> 00:30:08,399
israel where cannabis was found at a

760
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:10,880
temple site but uh um

761
00:30:16,710 --> 00:30:14,080
these my books uh even libra 420

762
00:30:19,110 --> 00:30:16,720
were written long before uh

763
00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:19,120
this was known and when i was writing

764
00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:20,080
say

765
00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:22,480
my 2000 book sex drugs violence in the

766
00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:25,200
bible i was taking a really close look

767
00:30:28,549 --> 00:30:27,200
at references to this hebrew term

768
00:30:32,470 --> 00:30:28,559
cannabasa

769
00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:32,480
that occurs in exodus 30 23 in ezekiel

770
00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:35,120
and the song of songs in jeremiah and in

771
00:30:38,389 --> 00:30:36,799
the book of isaiah

772
00:30:40,230 --> 00:30:38,399
and

773
00:30:43,190 --> 00:30:40,240
sula bennett who was a polish

774
00:30:45,269 --> 00:30:43,200
anthropologist and etymologist

775
00:30:47,430 --> 00:30:45,279
suggested that this term was reference

776
00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:47,440
to cannabis based on following the

777
00:30:51,909 --> 00:30:49,600
modern term

778
00:30:55,029 --> 00:30:51,919
and and showing it uh similar terms for

779
00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:55,039
cannabis kanaba uh in in

780
00:30:59,830 --> 00:30:57,279
the the the later you know later periods

781
00:31:01,750 --> 00:30:59,840
of uh uh of the hebrew

782
00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:01,760
language as well as

783
00:31:06,549 --> 00:31:04,320
similarity to assyrian terms for

784
00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:06,559
cannabis kanaba

785
00:31:12,950 --> 00:31:08,960
and similar ways that it was used

786
00:31:14,950 --> 00:31:12,960
and generally most bibles translate

787
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:14,960
modern king james and stuff like that

788
00:31:20,470 --> 00:31:18,320
translate it as calamus or fragrant king

789
00:31:24,389 --> 00:31:20,480
and sula bennett believed that when the

790
00:31:26,470 --> 00:31:24,399
hebrew was translated into the greek

791
00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:26,480
uh um uh you know a couple thousand

792
00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:28,240
years ago

793
00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:30,000
that they made a mistake and they

794
00:31:34,710 --> 00:31:32,880
mistranslated this term as calvinism is

795
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:34,720
followed through in all later

796
00:31:38,710 --> 00:31:36,640
translations right it's a very

797
00:31:41,669 --> 00:31:38,720
controversial theory you know in the

798
00:31:44,230 --> 00:31:41,679
first of these references exodus 30 23

799
00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:44,240
god who fierce appears to moses and

800
00:31:50,389 --> 00:31:46,960
flames of fire within a burning bush

801
00:31:51,990 --> 00:31:50,399
uh um he he god commands him to make a

802
00:31:55,269 --> 00:31:52,000
holy anointing oil

803
00:31:58,830 --> 00:31:55,279
with about nine pounds of this cannabis

804
00:32:01,990 --> 00:31:58,840
kind of awesome uh uh um and mixed with

805
00:32:04,470 --> 00:32:02,000
uh mir and cinnamon and cassia into

806
00:32:06,789 --> 00:32:04,480
about a gallon and a half olive oil

807
00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:06,799
and every time that moses is to speak to

808
00:32:11,669 --> 00:32:09,039
the lord he's to anoint his skin with

809
00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:11,679
this oil as well as place some of this

810
00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:14,960
oil on the altar of incense

811
00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:17,440
and then he speaks the lord in the

812
00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:19,200
pillar of smoke

813
00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:21,840
over the altar of incense and he never

814
00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:24,000
discusses anything with the lord other

815
00:32:28,070 --> 00:32:26,000
than when this is burning and the smoke

816
00:32:30,389 --> 00:32:28,080
pillar's there and the other people of

817
00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:30,399
israel they never talk to god they only

818
00:32:33,909 --> 00:32:32,320
know that moses is talking to god if

819
00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:33,919
he's inside what's called the tent of

820
00:32:37,509 --> 00:32:34,960
the meeting

821
00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:37,519
uh uh and smokes coming out of it right

822
00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:38,399
you know

823
00:32:45,430 --> 00:32:43,120
um and uh um now interestingly uh um in

824
00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:45,440
2020 a number of you know there's a lot

825
00:32:49,430 --> 00:32:48,000
of news stories about this and check out

826
00:32:52,950 --> 00:32:49,440
anybody listening

827
00:32:55,029 --> 00:32:52,960
in iraq jerusalem uh going back to about

828
00:32:56,950 --> 00:32:55,039
700 bc

829
00:32:59,350 --> 00:32:56,960
uh they found a temple site jewish

830
00:33:00,710 --> 00:32:59,360
temple site and there were two altars at

831
00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:00,720
this site

832
00:33:04,870 --> 00:33:02,720
and uh uh

833
00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:04,880
and the temple room itself was about the

834
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:06,960
size of a broom closet you know very

835
00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:09,039
small tight area that would have been

836
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:10,399
enclosed

837
00:33:15,430 --> 00:33:12,960
and on one altar was burnt frankincense

838
00:33:18,549 --> 00:33:15,440
then the other altar was

839
00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:18,559
burnt a cannabis resin product not raw

840
00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:22,640
cannabis but a cannabis resin product

841
00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:25,600
and uh so it proves that there was this

842
00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:26,640
use

843
00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:29,760
of of candidates going back to this this

844
00:33:34,549 --> 00:33:32,640
time period in ancient israel now it's a

845
00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:34,559
very complicated story because what

846
00:33:40,070 --> 00:33:36,480
these references to

847
00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:40,080
uh kanabasam and the archaeology in iran

848
00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:41,600
jerusalem

849
00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:43,440
show is the reasons how it became

850
00:33:47,110 --> 00:33:45,120
prohibited and

851
00:33:49,509 --> 00:33:47,120
the big thing here

852
00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:49,519
uh is that these later references the

853
00:33:52,549 --> 00:33:50,880
first of these you know although the

854
00:33:54,310 --> 00:33:52,559
song the song is referenced it appears

855
00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:54,320
the beautiful garden and again

856
00:33:56,950 --> 00:33:56,159
associated with anointing oil but you

857
00:33:59,269 --> 00:33:56,960
know the

858
00:34:01,350 --> 00:33:59,279
the uh song of songs itself is kind of

859
00:34:03,430 --> 00:34:01,360
like a wedding story you know

860
00:34:07,590 --> 00:34:03,440
solomon in the show night is how it's

861
00:34:08,869 --> 00:34:07,600
portrayed um and uh then in the isaiah

862
00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:08,879
reference

863
00:34:14,310 --> 00:34:12,639
uh um god uh complains that he has not

864
00:34:16,310 --> 00:34:14,320
been brought in any kind of bosom but

865
00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:16,320
he's been worried with the burden of

866
00:34:20,950 --> 00:34:18,399
sacrifices of their sins and stuff like

867
00:34:24,149 --> 00:34:20,960
that so he's pissed off because he's not

868
00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:24,159
getting his due of of cannabis but

869
00:34:28,629 --> 00:34:26,399
elsewhere it's pretty clear

870
00:34:29,669 --> 00:34:28,639
that that it's not always the case

871
00:34:31,990 --> 00:34:29,679
because we

872
00:34:35,030 --> 00:34:32,000
really get an idea how one of the

873
00:34:37,829 --> 00:34:35,040
seraphim flew from me from the altar

874
00:34:39,990 --> 00:34:37,839
with a tongue of incense he held it to

875
00:34:42,710 --> 00:34:40,000
my lips and moe my iniquity was taken

876
00:34:45,430 --> 00:34:42,720
away and my sin was burned so the the

877
00:34:47,990 --> 00:34:45,440
seraphim basically picks up with tongs a

878
00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:48,000
burning coal from the altar of infant

879
00:34:51,909 --> 00:34:50,240
and holds it to isaiah's mouth so you

880
00:34:55,829 --> 00:34:51,919
can get a direct uh

881
00:34:59,109 --> 00:34:55,839
hit you know uh in ezekiel the reference

882
00:35:01,030 --> 00:34:59,119
uh to cannabis is a coming in on a trade

883
00:35:04,069 --> 00:35:01,040
caravan and then the final reference

884
00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:04,079
occurs in the book of jeremiah at a time

885
00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:07,200
where israel's being you know taken down

886
00:35:10,790 --> 00:35:09,440
by foreign kingdoms as syrians

887
00:35:13,109 --> 00:35:10,800
babylonians

888
00:35:15,670 --> 00:35:13,119
and whatnot you know

889
00:35:17,910 --> 00:35:15,680
cannabis is condemned and

890
00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:17,920
through jeremiah god says what do i care

891
00:35:22,390 --> 00:35:19,040
from your

892
00:35:25,030 --> 00:35:22,400
kana blossom from a distant land

893
00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:25,040
your incense of shiva

894
00:35:30,870 --> 00:35:27,680
and it's condemned you know and

895
00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:30,880
elsewhere in jeremiah we we find that it

896
00:35:36,790 --> 00:35:34,720
is uh um associated with the queen of

897
00:35:38,710 --> 00:35:36,800
heaven and the people of israel were

898
00:35:42,069 --> 00:35:38,720
burning incense the queen of heaven and

899
00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:42,079
jeremiah being a monotheist this is very

900
00:35:45,589 --> 00:35:44,720
condemning of this behavior and this is

901
00:35:47,910 --> 00:35:45,599
uh

902
00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:47,920
this is what happens with cannabis is

903
00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:51,200
that although not widely known you can

904
00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:53,440
easily look around to verify what i'm

905
00:35:55,990 --> 00:35:55,200
saying i'm not making outlandish planes

906
00:35:59,190 --> 00:35:56,000
here

907
00:36:00,470 --> 00:35:59,200
for a large part of the history of

908
00:36:02,790 --> 00:36:00,480
israel

909
00:36:05,270 --> 00:36:02,800
the region was polytheistic and that

910
00:36:06,950 --> 00:36:05,280
means the worship of more than one god

911
00:36:08,790 --> 00:36:06,960
it wasn't that they didn't your ship

912
00:36:10,150 --> 00:36:08,800
yahweh who we know as jehovah the

913
00:36:13,430 --> 00:36:10,160
biblical god

914
00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:13,440
uh but it's uh uh was not yahweh alone

915
00:36:17,349 --> 00:36:15,280
worship in there and even in the book of

916
00:36:18,470 --> 00:36:17,359
kings and chronicles this is detailed

917
00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:18,480
quite well

918
00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:20,880
and one of the most popular deities that

919
00:36:24,150 --> 00:36:22,960
was worshiped during this polytheistic

920
00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:24,160
period

921
00:36:30,310 --> 00:36:28,240
was yahweh's one-time wife asherah also

922
00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:30,320
known as the queen of heaven

923
00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:32,079
and others had written about such as the

924
00:36:37,430 --> 00:36:34,720
botanist william bowden her cults

925
00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:37,440
canaanite goddesses worship goes back

926
00:36:40,390 --> 00:36:39,440
you know thousands and thousands of

927
00:36:41,589 --> 00:36:40,400
years

928
00:36:44,470 --> 00:36:41,599
uh um

929
00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:44,480
was uh often associated with the use of

930
00:36:47,430 --> 00:36:46,560
cannabis infants and anointing oils as

931
00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:47,440
well

932
00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:50,240
and the song of songs is likely a

933
00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:53,359
remnant of this polytheistic period as

934
00:36:59,030 --> 00:36:56,480
solomon himself was accused of burning

935
00:37:00,630 --> 00:36:59,040
incense to the queen of heaven on high

936
00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:00,640
it's all throughout the bible these

937
00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:02,880
accusations against solomon

938
00:37:09,430 --> 00:37:06,240
um and uh may well be like the

939
00:37:11,190 --> 00:37:09,440
you know a semitic version of you know

940
00:37:14,630 --> 00:37:11,200
the near eastern literature say like

941
00:37:17,349 --> 00:37:14,640
that's devoted to ishtar and damuzi to

942
00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:17,359
god and goddess who are married and also

943
00:37:22,310 --> 00:37:19,680
involved with cannabis we know from

944
00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:22,320
assyrian references to kanabu that

945
00:37:25,190 --> 00:37:24,240
kanabu was used

946
00:37:28,470 --> 00:37:25,200
as a

947
00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:28,480
oil perfume by the cult of ishtar and

948
00:37:32,109 --> 00:37:30,560
other near eastern goddesses as well

949
00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:32,119
right and

950
00:37:37,109 --> 00:37:33,760
archaeologically

951
00:37:39,510 --> 00:37:37,119
there have been scores of these goddess

952
00:37:41,910 --> 00:37:39,520
figurines that represent this hebrew

953
00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:41,920
goddess ashraf found throughout

954
00:37:47,270 --> 00:37:44,560
israel as well as a number of

955
00:37:50,390 --> 00:37:47,280
inscriptions that refer to yahweh and

956
00:37:52,550 --> 00:37:50,400
his ashrae show them as husband and wife

957
00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:52,560
and so she was the queen of heaven and

958
00:37:59,829 --> 00:37:56,320
uh by the time of jeremiah um as i

959
00:38:02,069 --> 00:37:59,839
mentioned he his his text takes place uh

960
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:02,079
during a time when the israelites were

961
00:38:06,310 --> 00:38:04,400
getting conquered by

962
00:38:09,349 --> 00:38:06,320
foreign nations like the babylonians and

963
00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:09,359
syrians a whole list goes on you know

964
00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:16,829
foreign nations dominating the area

965
00:38:21,589 --> 00:38:19,920
um and uh there was a need to

966
00:38:23,990 --> 00:38:21,599
consolidate

967
00:38:26,230 --> 00:38:24,000
the kingdom and you know there was no

968
00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:26,240
division between religion and politics

969
00:38:29,829 --> 00:38:28,720
that way and monotheism as much as a

970
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:29,839
religious

971
00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:32,320
revolution was a political one because

972
00:38:36,230 --> 00:38:34,240
there would be only one god that

973
00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:36,240
everybody worshipped that everybody gave

974
00:38:40,630 --> 00:38:38,720
offerings to and that was the god of the

975
00:38:43,030 --> 00:38:40,640
kingdom the god of the king his

976
00:38:45,430 --> 00:38:43,040
representative on earth you know

977
00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:45,440
like the king was the holy king you know

978
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:47,200
god's representative

979
00:38:52,950 --> 00:38:50,880
and uh um polytheism did not fit in with

980
00:38:55,750 --> 00:38:52,960
that and this is why

981
00:38:58,470 --> 00:38:55,760
cannabis became out of favor

982
00:39:00,069 --> 00:38:58,480
in the old testament period and why it

983
00:39:02,310 --> 00:39:00,079
disappeared and now while we're

984
00:39:05,829 --> 00:39:02,320
re-finding out about both

985
00:39:08,390 --> 00:39:05,839
the artifacts of the goddess but also

986
00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:08,400
this temple site in iraq jerusalem and

987
00:39:13,109 --> 00:39:10,800
as i mentioned there were two altars in

988
00:39:15,829 --> 00:39:13,119
this temple site in iraq jerusalem one

989
00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:15,839
was burped for burning frankincense and

990
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:17,599
the other was used for burning capital

991
00:39:22,230 --> 00:39:19,760
cannabis there was also two altar stones

992
00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:22,240
in the in the site as well one for

993
00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:24,720
yahweh and one for his wife asherah

994
00:39:29,349 --> 00:39:26,560
there's no one this site was already

995
00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:29,359
known before the cannabis residues were

996
00:39:34,550 --> 00:39:33,040
discovered as a archaeological site that

997
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:34,560
attested to

998
00:39:40,470 --> 00:39:37,760
the combined warship of yahweh and

999
00:39:43,829 --> 00:39:40,480
ashraf you know and we could take a look

1000
00:39:45,510 --> 00:39:43,839
at you know how the prohibition of the

1001
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:45,520
anthogens and erasing them from

1002
00:39:49,829 --> 00:39:47,520
history's affected history

1003
00:39:53,990 --> 00:39:49,839
but when you consider

1004
00:39:57,109 --> 00:39:54,000
erasing the divine feminine from history

1005
00:39:59,910 --> 00:39:57,119
and the thousands of years uh followed

1006
00:40:01,109 --> 00:39:59,920
of women being second-class citizens

1007
00:40:03,510 --> 00:40:01,119
even

1008
00:40:06,710 --> 00:40:03,520
catholic and possession as as as

1009
00:40:07,670 --> 00:40:06,720
identified in the old testament owned by

1010
00:40:12,309 --> 00:40:07,680
men

1011
00:40:14,230 --> 00:40:12,319
uh uh um the the results of that

1012
00:40:15,190 --> 00:40:14,240
are monumental

1013
00:40:17,910 --> 00:40:15,200
you know

1014
00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:17,920
uh uh uh horrific

1015
00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:21,839
and uh to be a tone for

1016
00:40:28,150 --> 00:40:25,440
totally totally yes

1017
00:40:29,829 --> 00:40:28,160
over binding control and i'm so glad you

1018
00:40:32,870 --> 00:40:29,839
brought up the divine feminine it's such

1019
00:40:35,109 --> 00:40:32,880
a big part of this and the ancient

1020
00:40:37,910 --> 00:40:35,119
religions i also

1021
00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:37,920
i'm blown away if you don't mind there's

1022
00:41:18,230 --> 00:40:39,040
a

1023
00:41:20,790 --> 00:41:18,240
with the mystery schools secret

1024
00:41:24,950 --> 00:41:20,800
societies and kind of bringing back

1025
00:41:27,190 --> 00:41:24,960
how all of this sort of trickles into

1026
00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:27,200
american freemasonry and our founding

1027
00:41:33,109 --> 00:41:30,000
fathers had many plantations of hemp

1028
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:33,119
and you know i find it just fascinating

1029
00:41:37,430 --> 00:41:35,920
how this has been behind the veil from

1030
00:41:38,550 --> 00:41:37,440
the general public

1031
00:41:40,870 --> 00:41:38,560
for

1032
00:41:43,829 --> 00:41:40,880
millennia and and

1033
00:41:45,510 --> 00:41:43,839
with the occult here in the united

1034
00:41:47,829 --> 00:41:45,520
states which is

1035
00:41:50,470 --> 00:41:47,839
you know a little bit selfish to only

1036
00:41:53,589 --> 00:41:50,480
look at ourselves but we see the same

1037
00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:53,599
thing we see the uh

1038
00:41:59,510 --> 00:41:56,880
hashish or this psychic substance

1039
00:42:02,710 --> 00:41:59,520
being used by well probably the most

1040
00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:02,720
influent influential occultists namely

1041
00:42:08,550 --> 00:42:05,280
aleister crowley madame blavatsky pb

1042
00:42:11,349 --> 00:42:08,560
randolph they were all users of hashish

1043
00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:11,359
and it seems that in the search for soul

1044
00:42:19,430 --> 00:42:16,000
consciousness this is sort of the vip um

1045
00:42:22,390 --> 00:42:19,440
plant and it this goes heavily into that

1046
00:42:25,349 --> 00:42:22,400
divine feminine that you mentioned and

1047
00:42:26,390 --> 00:42:25,359
it is just mind-blowing to me all of the

1048
00:42:31,349 --> 00:42:26,400
layers

1049
00:42:35,109 --> 00:42:33,030
yeah absolutely well it's mind-blowing

1050
00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:35,119
to me too even you know like when i when

1051
00:42:39,670 --> 00:42:37,040
i was funny because like when i was

1052
00:42:42,390 --> 00:42:39,680
started writing libra 420 i knew there

1053
00:42:44,470 --> 00:42:42,400
was a lot of this like 19th century

1054
00:42:45,990 --> 00:42:44,480
material you know uh crowley and

1055
00:42:47,270 --> 00:42:46,000
randolph and some of this you know and i

1056
00:42:49,109 --> 00:42:47,280
thought okay well that would probably be

1057
00:42:51,430 --> 00:42:49,119
what will fill the book

1058
00:42:53,510 --> 00:42:51,440
uh but i thought i was really scratching

1059
00:42:56,550 --> 00:42:53,520
when i began to look at medieval

1060
00:42:57,829 --> 00:42:56,560
renaissance material uh ceremonial magic

1061
00:43:03,829 --> 00:42:57,839
and

1062
00:43:05,910 --> 00:43:03,839
chapter on that uh in the end i had to

1063
00:43:08,390 --> 00:43:05,920
relegate all my 19th century material

1064
00:43:10,870 --> 00:43:08,400
down to about one chapter and i ended up

1065
00:43:14,390 --> 00:43:10,880
focusing on the earlier period because

1066
00:43:16,470 --> 00:43:14,400
there was so much more evidence uh uh

1067
00:43:19,270 --> 00:43:16,480
for a cannabis role

1068
00:43:22,390 --> 00:43:19,280
in both magic and alchemy than i ever

1069
00:43:24,150 --> 00:43:22,400
realized uh i was you know and again you

1070
00:43:25,990 --> 00:43:24,160
know i think it just happens to be a

1071
00:43:27,670 --> 00:43:26,000
dude of being born in the right time

1072
00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:27,680
period with the right type of thing that

1073
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:30,000
i was able to come across this you know

1074
00:43:35,349 --> 00:43:32,720
uh along with the millions of books that

1075
00:43:38,309 --> 00:43:35,359
uh have been scanned and entered into

1076
00:43:41,430 --> 00:43:38,319
google search engines uh were many latin

1077
00:43:42,550 --> 00:43:41,440
manuscripts going back to the 16th 17th

1078
00:43:45,990 --> 00:43:42,560
century

1079
00:43:48,710 --> 00:43:46,000
uh um and fortunately cannabis is about

1080
00:43:51,030 --> 00:43:48,720
spelt the same way or very similarly uh

1081
00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:51,040
in a lot of these latin manuscripts you

1082
00:43:56,230 --> 00:43:53,440
can narrow down time periods you know

1083
00:43:59,270 --> 00:43:56,240
search just the 16th century or whatever

1084
00:44:02,870 --> 00:43:59,280
uh um and search for true books from

1085
00:44:04,790 --> 00:44:02,880
that time period you know and uh um i

1086
00:44:06,829 --> 00:44:04,800
began to do this you know and most of

1087
00:44:09,270 --> 00:44:06,839
the stuff is just you know agricultural

1088
00:44:11,829 --> 00:44:09,280
information uh how to grow for fiber

1089
00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:11,839
seed but once in a while there'd be some

1090
00:44:15,750 --> 00:44:13,760
alchemical text

1091
00:44:17,910 --> 00:44:15,760
by somebody like mull or other some

1092
00:44:20,150 --> 00:44:17,920
other famous alchemist you know

1093
00:44:21,270 --> 00:44:20,160
jono cardano or something like that you

1094
00:44:24,550 --> 00:44:21,280
know

1095
00:44:28,390 --> 00:44:24,560
um and uh then you you go okay let's

1096
00:44:31,750 --> 00:44:28,400
look at this and i was able to identify

1097
00:44:34,950 --> 00:44:31,760
uh references to cannabis as arcanums

1098
00:44:37,109 --> 00:44:34,960
which is the sacred elixir in in uh uh

1099
00:44:39,190 --> 00:44:37,119
also known as quintessences which

1100
00:44:41,190 --> 00:44:39,200
represent the fifth essence and this was

1101
00:44:43,910 --> 00:44:41,200
again basically tinkering tincturing was

1102
00:44:47,349 --> 00:44:43,920
a holy act and alchemy even the making

1103
00:44:49,430 --> 00:44:47,359
of like you know a strong alcohol was an

1104
00:44:50,710 --> 00:44:49,440
alchemical art you know they would like

1105
00:44:53,030 --> 00:44:50,720
take wine

1106
00:44:55,829 --> 00:44:53,040
bury it let it separate

1107
00:44:57,829 --> 00:44:55,839
uh keep the clear liquid repeat this

1108
00:45:00,390 --> 00:44:57,839
process you know five times until they

1109
00:45:03,109 --> 00:45:00,400
got a really potent uh clear liquid that

1110
00:45:04,470 --> 00:45:03,119
was a very very strong alcohol

1111
00:45:06,790 --> 00:45:04,480
a substance

1112
00:45:09,430 --> 00:45:06,800
and then they would take plants and they

1113
00:45:11,430 --> 00:45:09,440
would put in the plants and then

1114
00:45:13,430 --> 00:45:11,440
take the plants out put more plants in

1115
00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:13,440
take it out and they would get what they

1116
00:45:17,990 --> 00:45:15,599
thought was the fifth essence the soul

1117
00:45:20,550 --> 00:45:18,000
of the plant into this tincture which

1118
00:45:21,829 --> 00:45:20,560
was considered a chemical heaven and so

1119
00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:21,839
it would take the essence the

1120
00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:24,240
quintessence the fifth essence into

1121
00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:26,560
itself as the chemical heaven and

1122
00:45:31,589 --> 00:45:29,520
paracelsus and others perfected this art

1123
00:45:34,390 --> 00:45:31,599
and they wrote you know specifically

1124
00:45:36,550 --> 00:45:34,400
about cannabis and opium and other other

1125
00:45:40,230 --> 00:45:36,560
such plants being used and such

1126
00:45:43,190 --> 00:45:40,240
tinctures uh um and uh

1127
00:45:46,390 --> 00:45:43,200
it's it's it's firm that there was a

1128
00:45:48,470 --> 00:45:46,400
very powerful role in spigeric alchemy

1129
00:45:51,349 --> 00:45:48,480
for cannabis and other psychoactive

1130
00:45:52,630 --> 00:45:51,359
substances now uh well-documented and in

1131
00:45:57,030 --> 00:45:52,640
magic

1132
00:46:00,390 --> 00:45:57,040
such as the picatrix which goes back to

1133
00:46:05,510 --> 00:46:02,550
an islamic book of magic that was

1134
00:46:07,349 --> 00:46:05,520
translated into latin uh in the 10th or

1135
00:46:09,510 --> 00:46:07,359
12th century i forget but was kind of

1136
00:46:11,589 --> 00:46:09,520
like the founding document of the

1137
00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:11,599
magical tradition and there's references

1138
00:46:17,589 --> 00:46:15,280
to hashish in there

1139
00:46:19,430 --> 00:46:17,599
for magical purposes you know and we

1140
00:46:21,190 --> 00:46:19,440
know later

1141
00:46:22,710 --> 00:46:21,200
references you know we talked about the

1142
00:46:25,030 --> 00:46:22,720
anointing oil

1143
00:46:28,390 --> 00:46:25,040
uh in the biblical well later magical

1144
00:46:31,270 --> 00:46:28,400
text influenced by the bible such as uh

1145
00:46:33,270 --> 00:46:31,280
the separate raziale libra salomanus

1146
00:46:36,710 --> 00:46:33,280
they prescribed cannabis mixed with

1147
00:46:38,470 --> 00:46:36,720
other plants uh for seeing visions in

1148
00:46:39,589 --> 00:46:38,480
magic mirrors this is one of the

1149
00:46:40,950 --> 00:46:39,599
purposes

1150
00:46:42,710 --> 00:46:40,960
that

1151
00:46:45,589 --> 00:46:42,720
randolph and other

1152
00:46:47,349 --> 00:46:45,599
occult people use cannabis they would

1153
00:46:50,150 --> 00:46:47,359
take cannabis

1154
00:46:52,870 --> 00:46:50,160
sometimes other substances

1155
00:46:55,670 --> 00:46:52,880
and they would stare into opaque mirrors

1156
00:46:57,190 --> 00:46:55,680
until they began to see shapes and

1157
00:46:59,510 --> 00:46:57,200
things like that and then they would

1158
00:47:01,190 --> 00:46:59,520
start trying to interpret this and even

1159
00:47:02,150 --> 00:47:01,200
meet things in there this was like a

1160
00:47:04,390 --> 00:47:02,160
tool

1161
00:47:06,630 --> 00:47:04,400
uh for interacting with the unconscious

1162
00:47:08,710 --> 00:47:06,640
in much the same way we interact with

1163
00:47:10,390 --> 00:47:08,720
the unconscious when we dream and stuff

1164
00:47:14,069 --> 00:47:10,400
like that very powerful

1165
00:47:16,069 --> 00:47:14,079
magical tool and cannabis has a long

1166
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:16,079
long association with this particular

1167
00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:19,520
act likely this was a method used by dr

1168
00:47:26,069 --> 00:47:23,040
john d and his associate edward kelly

1169
00:47:28,950 --> 00:47:26,079
they write about uh um uh incense is

1170
00:47:31,589 --> 00:47:28,960
being used ointments and other uh

1171
00:47:34,950 --> 00:47:31,599
chemicals you know uh uh being used in

1172
00:47:36,870 --> 00:47:34,960
in in these books uh uh uh of his

1173
00:47:39,109 --> 00:47:36,880
accounts with spirits you know there's

1174
00:47:41,670 --> 00:47:39,119
clear references that indicate the use

1175
00:47:44,710 --> 00:47:41,680
of such psychoactive preparations

1176
00:47:47,190 --> 00:47:44,720
uh um so yeah this is like you know

1177
00:47:49,510 --> 00:47:47,200
really really really profound stuff

1178
00:47:51,510 --> 00:47:49,520
yeah man you are hitting all the right

1179
00:47:54,390 --> 00:47:51,520
things i'm firing on all cylinders and

1180
00:47:56,790 --> 00:47:54,400
you're connecting them so perfectly as

1181
00:47:58,470 --> 00:47:56,800
you mentioned the solomonic magic and

1182
00:47:59,510 --> 00:47:58,480
how solomon was

1183
00:48:01,430 --> 00:47:59,520
was

1184
00:48:03,670 --> 00:48:01,440
you know using

1185
00:48:07,109 --> 00:48:03,680
this type of thing to literally bind

1186
00:48:09,510 --> 00:48:07,119
demons into magic mirrors and yeah um

1187
00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:09,520
this is this is fascinating that the

1188
00:48:15,910 --> 00:48:12,960
same these same practices ha

1189
00:48:17,829 --> 00:48:15,920
basically infiltrated in united states

1190
00:48:20,870 --> 00:48:17,839
mysticism i mean that's just blatant in

1191
00:48:23,750 --> 00:48:20,880
our face with in a more contemporary

1192
00:48:27,829 --> 00:48:23,760
time but as you said this has been going

1193
00:48:29,190 --> 00:48:27,839
on for ages and one of my favorite

1194
00:48:32,230 --> 00:48:29,200
subjects and i don't know if you did

1195
00:48:35,430 --> 00:48:32,240
this just by accident or coincidence

1196
00:48:39,030 --> 00:48:35,440
around page 420 which is in weed um i

1197
00:48:42,150 --> 00:48:39,040
find this absolutely fascinating is i'm

1198
00:48:45,190 --> 00:48:42,160
very deeply uh involved in researching

1199
00:48:48,950 --> 00:48:45,200
shape shifters native american folklore

1200
00:48:51,349 --> 00:48:48,960
skinwalkers etc but the witches

1201
00:48:54,309 --> 00:48:51,359
ointments as you write in your book are

1202
00:48:56,390 --> 00:48:54,319
particularly involved as a vehicle which

1203
00:48:59,030 --> 00:48:56,400
enable the witch to travel

1204
00:49:00,630 --> 00:48:59,040
and that this is in a variety of ways

1205
00:49:04,069 --> 00:49:00,640
and you know

1206
00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:04,079
it seems as if just about every

1207
00:49:07,750 --> 00:49:05,119
major

1208
00:49:10,549 --> 00:49:07,760
religion spiritual idea

1209
00:49:12,950 --> 00:49:10,559
um even secret society

1210
00:49:15,829 --> 00:49:12,960
there is a very

1211
00:49:18,950 --> 00:49:15,839
obvious and hard to ignore foundation

1212
00:49:22,309 --> 00:49:18,960
that is surrounded by the ideas of

1213
00:49:26,710 --> 00:49:24,549
well i agree yeah uh you know like you

1214
00:49:29,349 --> 00:49:26,720
can take a look at like all the major

1215
00:49:32,470 --> 00:49:29,359
religions taoism uh you know there's

1216
00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:32,480
like uh taoist references to

1217
00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:36,480
cannabis going back 26 2700 years ago uh

1218
00:49:41,030 --> 00:49:38,400
um and here's like a core train i think

1219
00:49:41,910 --> 00:49:41,040
written around 400 bc first yin then

1220
00:49:44,150 --> 00:49:41,920
again

1221
00:49:46,309 --> 00:49:44,160
no one knows what i do jake budge or

1222
00:49:48,549 --> 00:49:46,319
holy hemp for the one that lives apart

1223
00:49:51,270 --> 00:49:48,559
they would burn it in intense burners uh

1224
00:49:52,950 --> 00:49:51,280
to travel to the uh other world and

1225
00:49:56,470 --> 00:49:52,960
things like that and there's there's

1226
00:49:58,309 --> 00:49:56,480
well-known uh documentation of this

1227
00:50:00,309 --> 00:49:58,319
and they likely picked it up off the

1228
00:50:01,670 --> 00:50:00,319
practices of the gucci that i was

1229
00:50:04,150 --> 00:50:01,680
referring to earlier because they were

1230
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:04,160
there on the same time period uh was

1231
00:50:08,790 --> 00:50:06,480
when later confucianism came into play

1232
00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:08,800
that these practices fell out of favor

1233
00:50:13,349 --> 00:50:11,280
uh in india it's still you know used in

1234
00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:13,359
rituals to shiva who's the oldest

1235
00:50:20,549 --> 00:50:17,200
continually worshiped uh god on earth

1236
00:50:23,349 --> 00:50:20,559
in in the shinto religion of japan taima

1237
00:50:24,549 --> 00:50:23,359
is a sacred paper a sacred claw sacred

1238
00:50:26,390 --> 00:50:24,559
incense

1239
00:50:30,710 --> 00:50:26,400
and that's another ancient religion that

1240
00:50:33,589 --> 00:50:30,720
you know is is pre-european contact uh

1241
00:50:35,589 --> 00:50:33,599
um and uh uh we've already talked about

1242
00:50:37,349 --> 00:50:35,599
the hebrew religion i believe this

1243
00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:37,359
continues on in the early christian

1244
00:50:41,589 --> 00:50:39,119
period and there's a good case to be

1245
00:50:43,990 --> 00:50:41,599
made uh um for the role of these same

1246
00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:44,000
anointing laws we were talking about uh

1247
00:50:48,230 --> 00:50:46,319
and incenses in the hebrew period uh

1248
00:50:50,549 --> 00:50:48,240
throughout the christian period uh

1249
00:50:53,349 --> 00:50:50,559
particularly among gnostic groups where

1250
00:50:55,430 --> 00:50:53,359
which where there's clear evidence of

1251
00:50:58,549 --> 00:50:55,440
anthogen ingestion

1252
00:51:00,470 --> 00:50:58,559
um and uh in zoroastrian religion which

1253
00:51:02,230 --> 00:51:00,480
was very influential

1254
00:51:04,069 --> 00:51:02,240
on magic they were known as the agent

1255
00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:04,079
magi

1256
00:51:08,630 --> 00:51:06,240
and also on both the hebrew and

1257
00:51:10,630 --> 00:51:08,640
christian and islamic religion

1258
00:51:12,790 --> 00:51:10,640
very influential on them

1259
00:51:14,870 --> 00:51:12,800
clearly there's these references to

1260
00:51:16,870 --> 00:51:14,880
cannabis infused wines and other

1261
00:51:20,150 --> 00:51:16,880
preparations as well

1262
00:51:24,390 --> 00:51:20,160
and uh in islam as well

1263
00:51:26,630 --> 00:51:24,400
sufis and dervishes uh um uh um have a

1264
00:51:29,510 --> 00:51:26,640
long history with hashish

1265
00:51:32,230 --> 00:51:29,520
and uh um there's even texts like uh the

1266
00:51:33,750 --> 00:51:32,240
davastan that refer to the prophet

1267
00:51:35,510 --> 00:51:33,760
himself

1268
00:51:38,230 --> 00:51:35,520
ingesting bomb

1269
00:51:39,990 --> 00:51:38,240
uh um and so

1270
00:51:41,910 --> 00:51:40,000
really interesting stuff you know what i

1271
00:51:43,750 --> 00:51:41,920
mean like and we're talking about the

1272
00:51:45,510 --> 00:51:43,760
early periods of these traditions which

1273
00:51:46,630 --> 00:51:45,520
is really important the inspirational

1274
00:51:48,630 --> 00:51:46,640
period

1275
00:51:49,829 --> 00:51:48,640
before they just became dead traditions

1276
00:51:52,150 --> 00:51:49,839
and what i mean by about the dead

1277
00:51:54,309 --> 00:51:52,160
tradition is

1278
00:51:57,109 --> 00:51:54,319
it's it's it's like the bible it's a

1279
00:51:59,829 --> 00:51:57,119
document it's not like a thriving living

1280
00:52:01,829 --> 00:51:59,839
thing you know it's not like there's new

1281
00:52:03,670 --> 00:52:01,839
revelations happening and stuff like

1282
00:52:05,910 --> 00:52:03,680
that it's just okay we keep going back

1283
00:52:07,829 --> 00:52:05,920
to this one thing that happened you know

1284
00:52:11,190 --> 00:52:07,839
way back when and that's it and that's

1285
00:52:13,910 --> 00:52:11,200
where it stopped you know uh um cannabis

1286
00:52:16,710 --> 00:52:13,920
is is the representative of the living

1287
00:52:18,390 --> 00:52:16,720
tradition man it's a tree of life which

1288
00:52:21,670 --> 00:52:18,400
all these different faiths these

1289
00:52:24,150 --> 00:52:21,680
different nationalities uh uh sprouted

1290
00:52:25,030 --> 00:52:24,160
from the common factor the common root

1291
00:52:28,549 --> 00:52:25,040
man

1292
00:52:30,150 --> 00:52:28,559
and uh like i say i think that this is

1293
00:52:31,990 --> 00:52:30,160
this is the time

1294
00:52:34,230 --> 00:52:32,000
where that's gonna become a reality

1295
00:52:37,109 --> 00:52:34,240
where people are are going to reawaken

1296
00:52:39,349 --> 00:52:37,119
to this magic you know to this this this

1297
00:52:40,230 --> 00:52:39,359
the reality of the spiritual world you

1298
00:52:43,030 --> 00:52:40,240
know

1299
00:52:45,670 --> 00:52:43,040
it's a really big deal chris and the way

1300
00:52:47,750 --> 00:52:45,680
that you have been showing people the

1301
00:52:49,910 --> 00:52:47,760
historical role of cannabis and the

1302
00:52:51,030 --> 00:52:49,920
spiritual life of humanity is a really

1303
00:52:55,430 --> 00:52:51,040
big deal

1304
00:52:57,910 --> 00:52:55,440
it is it's very noble of you um kind of

1305
00:53:01,270 --> 00:52:57,920
kind of fast forward to uh something

1306
00:53:03,349 --> 00:53:01,280
recent and how you know people

1307
00:53:05,990 --> 00:53:03,359
are scared of fridays that fall on the

1308
00:53:09,030 --> 00:53:06,000
13th has happened earlier this month

1309
00:53:12,470 --> 00:53:09,040
i find it very interesting that and i'm

1310
00:53:15,589 --> 00:53:12,480
fascinated by the hashishine or those

1311
00:53:17,910 --> 00:53:15,599
assassins that the knights templar

1312
00:53:20,069 --> 00:53:17,920
gained so much knowledge for and most

1313
00:53:21,829 --> 00:53:20,079
likely burned at the stake for can we go

1314
00:53:23,829 --> 00:53:21,839
into that just a little bit to kind of

1315
00:53:25,910 --> 00:53:23,839
wrap things up

1316
00:53:27,589 --> 00:53:25,920
absolutely you know friday the 13th is

1317
00:53:29,430 --> 00:53:27,599
yes of course the the day they were

1318
00:53:32,309 --> 00:53:29,440
rounded up by the church

1319
00:53:35,030 --> 00:53:32,319
um and uh you know it's interestingly

1320
00:53:37,109 --> 00:53:35,040
enough that uh at two of the major

1321
00:53:38,390 --> 00:53:37,119
templar raids both in england and in

1322
00:53:40,470 --> 00:53:38,400
france

1323
00:53:42,309 --> 00:53:40,480
cannabis was recorded large amounts of

1324
00:53:43,910 --> 00:53:42,319
cannabis were reported on the list of

1325
00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:43,920
seized items they don't go into the

1326
00:53:47,589 --> 00:53:45,920
detail anything other than it was

1327
00:53:48,950 --> 00:53:47,599
cannabis but if it was cloth or rope it

1328
00:53:51,829 --> 00:53:48,960
would have been listed as such because

1329
00:53:54,950 --> 00:53:51,839
all these items were specifically

1330
00:53:57,589 --> 00:53:54,960
uh identified in these in these seizure

1331
00:54:00,309 --> 00:53:57,599
lists of the church where they rated the

1332
00:54:02,230 --> 00:54:00,319
the templars you know and

1333
00:54:03,030 --> 00:54:02,240
long before i ever wrote about this

1334
00:54:05,510 --> 00:54:03,040
there's

1335
00:54:07,030 --> 00:54:05,520
was claims that the templars had come

1336
00:54:09,349 --> 00:54:07,040
into contact

1337
00:54:11,670 --> 00:54:09,359
uh with the hash of sheens or that a

1338
00:54:13,990 --> 00:54:11,680
group known more modernly as the

1339
00:54:17,270 --> 00:54:14,000
assassins and there's a long-standing

1340
00:54:19,430 --> 00:54:17,280
etymological theory that uh hashish and

1341
00:54:22,069 --> 00:54:19,440
assassin come from the same route and

1342
00:54:23,670 --> 00:54:22,079
this is this earlier term

1343
00:54:26,950 --> 00:54:23,680
and the

1344
00:54:29,589 --> 00:54:26,960
uh um a lot of people say that uh

1345
00:54:33,030 --> 00:54:29,599
this was just a a term labeled at them

1346
00:54:35,109 --> 00:54:33,040
by their enemies they never used hashish

1347
00:54:36,710 --> 00:54:35,119
but became associated with them because

1348
00:54:38,950 --> 00:54:36,720
it was a way to attack and stuff like

1349
00:54:41,109 --> 00:54:38,960
that but i don't think these people

1350
00:54:43,910 --> 00:54:41,119
realize the esoteric history and

1351
00:54:47,109 --> 00:54:43,920
connection to hashish and that the

1352
00:54:48,230 --> 00:54:47,119
hashishing or an islamic uh group that

1353
00:54:50,950 --> 00:54:48,240
was very

1354
00:54:53,030 --> 00:54:50,960
very influenced by uh the persians or

1355
00:54:54,950 --> 00:54:53,040
aspirins which i mentioned earlier

1356
00:54:56,150 --> 00:54:54,960
and in the famous uh tale coming you

1357
00:54:57,910 --> 00:54:56,160
know and you gotta remember like a lot

1358
00:54:59,589 --> 00:54:57,920
of the history you know about them come

1359
00:55:01,910 --> 00:54:59,599
from people that are against them or

1360
00:55:03,750 --> 00:55:01,920
europeans like marco polo

1361
00:55:05,030 --> 00:55:03,760
and uh

1362
00:55:06,870 --> 00:55:05,040
um uh

1363
00:55:07,910 --> 00:55:06,880
one of the accusations made against him

1364
00:55:10,390 --> 00:55:07,920
was that

1365
00:55:13,589 --> 00:55:10,400
the leader of the uh assassins would get

1366
00:55:15,430 --> 00:55:13,599
young men up to his mountain abode and

1367
00:55:17,510 --> 00:55:15,440
he'd dose him with hashish and say he's

1368
00:55:19,030 --> 00:55:17,520
gonna show them paradise they'd take so

1369
00:55:21,750 --> 00:55:19,040
much they'd get knocked out and they'd

1370
00:55:24,789 --> 00:55:21,760
wake up in a paradise little garden uh

1371
00:55:26,390 --> 00:55:24,799
surrounded by beautiful nymphs and

1372
00:55:28,150 --> 00:55:26,400
then he'd dose them again and they'd

1373
00:55:29,750 --> 00:55:28,160
wake up and he'd say see now you've seen

1374
00:55:31,589 --> 00:55:29,760
paradise you must serve me if you ever

1375
00:55:33,430 --> 00:55:31,599
want to go there again right

1376
00:55:35,349 --> 00:55:33,440
that's the myth

1377
00:55:37,270 --> 00:55:35,359
but um

1378
00:55:39,430 --> 00:55:37,280
in many ways it's like just kind of a

1379
00:55:42,710 --> 00:55:39,440
continuation

1380
00:55:45,270 --> 00:55:42,720
of of the zoroastrian use of cannabis

1381
00:55:50,150 --> 00:55:45,280
infused wines and we know from texts

1382
00:55:54,870 --> 00:55:52,309
that these zoroastrians for religious

1383
00:55:58,069 --> 00:55:54,880
purposes in order to enter the other

1384
00:56:00,870 --> 00:55:58,079
world would consume uh wine mixed with

1385
00:56:03,430 --> 00:56:00,880
uh banga sometimes it's used in the term

1386
00:56:06,069 --> 00:56:03,440
mong and this is a these are terms that

1387
00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:06,079
are largely translated as cannabis so

1388
00:56:10,230 --> 00:56:07,920
although some have uh

1389
00:56:11,829 --> 00:56:10,240
uh suggested tenbane and other drugs i

1390
00:56:13,589 --> 00:56:11,839
don't really i think if you really take

1391
00:56:16,549 --> 00:56:13,599
a close look at the etymology and i lay

1392
00:56:18,390 --> 00:56:16,559
all this out in my book uh it's pretty

1393
00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:18,400
clearly cannabis and cannabis infused

1394
00:56:21,829 --> 00:56:20,400
wines were very well known in the

1395
00:56:23,589 --> 00:56:21,839
ancient world these aren't the only

1396
00:56:26,390 --> 00:56:23,599
references to them

1397
00:56:28,150 --> 00:56:26,400
um and they would take enough to get

1398
00:56:29,670 --> 00:56:28,160
knocked out and they'd see their vision

1399
00:56:31,589 --> 00:56:29,680
and they'd come back and say what they

1400
00:56:33,270 --> 00:56:31,599
had seen and the only cultural

1401
00:56:35,349 --> 00:56:33,280
difference here is

1402
00:56:38,789 --> 00:56:35,359
you know the the religion itself and in

1403
00:56:40,150 --> 00:56:38,799
the islamic after world

1404
00:56:42,309 --> 00:56:40,160
there's you know you're surrounded by

1405
00:56:44,069 --> 00:56:42,319
virgins you get you know 60 virgin or 70

1406
00:56:46,710 --> 00:56:44,079
virgins 72 virgins or something like

1407
00:56:48,630 --> 00:56:46,720
that and this is what all replayed in

1408
00:56:51,510 --> 00:56:48,640
the in the myth of the assassin the

1409
00:56:53,109 --> 00:56:51,520
effects of the infused wine but likewise

1410
00:56:54,789 --> 00:56:53,119
when arden beer after brings it to the

1411
00:56:57,270 --> 00:56:54,799
zeratu religion

1412
00:56:58,789 --> 00:56:57,280
uh he goes in the to heaven and hell

1413
00:57:00,549 --> 00:56:58,799
this is where the whole concept of

1414
00:57:04,390 --> 00:57:00,559
heaven and hell come from are these

1415
00:57:07,190 --> 00:57:04,400
zoroastrian accounts right um and

1416
00:57:08,470 --> 00:57:07,200
leaked into christianity wasn't part of

1417
00:57:09,829 --> 00:57:08,480
judaism

1418
00:57:13,190 --> 00:57:09,839
um

1419
00:57:16,230 --> 00:57:13,200
and so yeah and so the the idea is that

1420
00:57:18,309 --> 00:57:16,240
the the templars had come into

1421
00:57:20,230 --> 00:57:18,319
contact with the hash machines picked up

1422
00:57:23,510 --> 00:57:20,240
this esoteric use of cannabis and

1423
00:57:25,910 --> 00:57:23,520
there's been numbers of claims in books

1424
00:57:28,069 --> 00:57:25,920
uh uh that there was an elixir of

1425
00:57:29,510 --> 00:57:28,079
jerusalem that was a combination of uh

1426
00:57:33,190 --> 00:57:29,520
cannabis

1427
00:57:35,349 --> 00:57:33,200
and uh aloe vera mixed into a palm wine

1428
00:57:37,270 --> 00:57:35,359
it was called the elixir of jerusalem

1429
00:57:39,510 --> 00:57:37,280
but i've never been able to find

1430
00:57:41,510 --> 00:57:39,520
anything past the 70s

1431
00:57:43,589 --> 00:57:41,520
indicating it but when i did look back

1432
00:57:44,710 --> 00:57:43,599
into time period documents as i

1433
00:57:47,349 --> 00:57:44,720
mentioned

1434
00:57:50,470 --> 00:57:47,359
involving the arrests it was clear that

1435
00:57:53,990 --> 00:57:50,480
cannabis was seized uh um from two

1436
00:57:57,510 --> 00:57:54,000
templar sites during the raids and um

1437
00:58:00,789 --> 00:57:57,520
also that the uh templars had under

1438
00:58:03,270 --> 00:58:00,799
contract saracens arabs growing cannabis

1439
00:58:06,150 --> 00:58:03,280
for them in spain and saracens were not

1440
00:58:07,990 --> 00:58:06,160
air people were not very uh well-versed

1441
00:58:09,750 --> 00:58:08,000
in growing fiber candidates they knew

1442
00:58:13,270 --> 00:58:09,760
about growing resin cannabis in that

1443
00:58:15,829 --> 00:58:13,280
region and spain grows excellent

1444
00:58:19,190 --> 00:58:15,839
resin cannabis as well so it seems most

1445
00:58:21,670 --> 00:58:19,200
likely that the saracens under contract

1446
00:58:24,390 --> 00:58:21,680
by the templars growing cannabis were

1447
00:58:26,789 --> 00:58:24,400
brewing resident candidates and that

1448
00:58:28,789 --> 00:58:26,799
there may be something to these elixir

1449
00:58:31,030 --> 00:58:28,799
of jerusalem claims

1450
00:58:33,589 --> 00:58:31,040
that still may emerge

1451
00:58:35,190 --> 00:58:33,599
but it's clear that on the seized items

1452
00:58:36,630 --> 00:58:35,200
list that cannabis was seized from

1453
00:58:39,270 --> 00:58:36,640
templar sites

1454
00:58:41,270 --> 00:58:39,280
and uh you know the templars

1455
00:58:43,109 --> 00:58:41,280
it's believed they may have picked up on

1456
00:58:45,990 --> 00:58:43,119
gnostic practices

1457
00:58:47,990 --> 00:58:46,000
uh uh well in the holy land and this is

1458
00:58:49,990 --> 00:58:48,000
largely largely an accusation brought

1459
00:58:52,630 --> 00:58:50,000
against them we see again these types of

1460
00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:52,640
infusions used by the gnostics and

1461
00:58:57,510 --> 00:58:54,880
carried down even into the islamic

1462
00:59:00,710 --> 00:58:57,520
period we know uh um groups like the

1463
00:59:01,910 --> 00:59:00,720
sabians uh were basically gnostic sects

1464
00:59:04,390 --> 00:59:01,920
that were still going there's still some

1465
00:59:07,030 --> 00:59:04,400
gnostic sex in iraq as well

1466
00:59:08,789 --> 00:59:07,040
up to this day so uh um

1467
00:59:10,630 --> 00:59:08,799
that that's another avenue it could have

1468
00:59:13,030 --> 00:59:10,640
come through

1469
00:59:15,270 --> 00:59:13,040
man your knowledge of the historical

1470
00:59:17,670 --> 00:59:15,280
role of cannabis and the spiritual life

1471
00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:17,680
of humanity is phenomenal chris

1472
00:59:22,950 --> 00:59:18,720
in

1473
00:59:24,870 --> 00:59:22,960
with the literary works you've provided

1474
00:59:25,829 --> 00:59:24,880
that have an overwhelming amount of

1475
00:59:27,829 --> 00:59:25,839
evidence

1476
00:59:29,430 --> 00:59:27,839
and these are topics which have been

1477
00:59:31,589 --> 00:59:29,440
hidden by the leaders of the modern

1478
00:59:33,109 --> 00:59:31,599
world and elites for pretty much all

1479
00:59:36,470 --> 00:59:33,119
time that i know of

1480
00:59:37,589 --> 00:59:36,480
lastly um with the templars mentioned

1481
00:59:40,870 --> 00:59:37,599
could

1482
00:59:42,789 --> 00:59:40,880
cannabis be the holy grail

1483
00:59:43,990 --> 00:59:42,799
well i think there's a lot to that claim

1484
00:59:46,549 --> 00:59:44,000
you know

1485
00:59:49,349 --> 00:59:46,559
there's a lot of like perjured origins

1486
00:59:52,069 --> 00:59:49,359
uh uh to the grail mythology

1487
00:59:54,789 --> 00:59:52,079
uh the the cup of uh

1488
00:59:58,470 --> 00:59:54,799
chepita i think it was called as well

1489
00:59:59,270 --> 00:59:58,480
um and uh graha is like the term for the

1490
01:00:02,390 --> 00:59:59,280
cup

1491
01:00:04,390 --> 01:00:02,400
that the uh that somo is drunk from and

1492
01:00:07,190 --> 01:00:04,400
there's all these persian connections to

1493
01:00:09,750 --> 01:00:07,200
him and cannabis infused wines uh like

1494
01:00:12,870 --> 01:00:09,760
in the argument a story he drinks from

1495
01:00:15,270 --> 01:00:12,880
golden cups the wine you know like uh

1496
01:00:17,030 --> 01:00:15,280
the cannabis-infused wines so there's a

1497
01:00:18,309 --> 01:00:17,040
lot of connection there yeah i think

1498
01:00:21,589 --> 01:00:18,319
that

1499
01:00:23,030 --> 01:00:21,599
and

1500
01:00:24,710 --> 01:00:23,040
that's not just

1501
01:00:27,510 --> 01:00:24,720
my opinion other people have written

1502
01:00:30,870 --> 01:00:27,520
about that like professor george luck

1503
01:00:33,030 --> 01:00:30,880
also suggested this as well you know um

1504
01:00:35,589 --> 01:00:33,040
and and i think that if you take a look

1505
01:00:37,430 --> 01:00:35,599
at at the evidence board it's quite

1506
01:00:39,030 --> 01:00:37,440
convincing that you know the grail is

1507
01:00:41,109 --> 01:00:39,040
described as something that's both root

1508
01:00:42,789 --> 01:00:41,119
and branch i certainly think that's a

1509
01:00:45,430 --> 01:00:42,799
much stronger case

1510
01:00:48,069 --> 01:00:45,440
than you know the badget lay theory

1511
01:00:49,670 --> 01:00:48,079
about uh bloodline of jesus

1512
01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:49,680
you know there's there's a lot more to

1513
01:00:53,349 --> 01:00:51,119
it than that when you read about the

1514
01:00:55,190 --> 01:00:53,359
role of sacred cups and you see these

1515
01:00:57,190 --> 01:00:55,200
same sort of sacred cups for cannabis

1516
01:00:58,789 --> 01:00:57,200
youth even amongst the cities and

1517
01:01:00,309 --> 01:00:58,799
there's a scythian connection to the

1518
01:01:02,470 --> 01:01:00,319
grail as well

1519
01:01:04,470 --> 01:01:02,480
uh um and uh

1520
01:01:05,910 --> 01:01:04,480
yeah this there's a really powerful case

1521
01:01:08,470 --> 01:01:05,920
for it i think

1522
01:01:12,630 --> 01:01:08,480
