“ The mind is powerful so if you thinking bull, It will come to past past
So when you living life just be extra nice, True love is the boss boss
Sensimillia chalice no philly yah, Water in my cup cup
I'm not in a rush with the burning bush Light it up up up up”
--Niyorah, "Positive Herb"


It was in 1964, based on the research of two Israeli scientists, that
the cellular process in which cannabis is metabolized was first fully
understood.  The central nervous system actually produces specific
cells designed to harness the delta-9-THC (the most potent of the
Cannabis genetics.)  The specific cells are located along the central
nervous system, creating two types of Endocanabinoid receptors aptly
named CB1 and CB2.  CB1 is where the THC metabolizes creating the
"heady" high, theses nerve cells are located in the brain stem and
related nervous systems functions.  CB2 is the "full body" high ones
encounters with excellent bud.  The key to understanding these two
distinct process, is understanding how Cannabis benefits the human
body in more ways then just killing time, or escaping responsibility.
From every form of cancer, crones disease, sleeping disorders, post
traumatic distress, eating disorders, Cannabis truly has an
opportunity to surpass Opiates in its ability to work miracles for the
sick.

Phillippus (Paraclesus) Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim,
and 15th century philosopher/alchemist, was said to be an avid user of
Cannabis.  He could even be credited as the first Western proponent of
the use of medical marijuana.  A student of Paraclesus, Heinrich
Khunrath created a wonderful mandala in the 16th century to subtly
illuminate the gift that is Cannabis.  The picture shows Heinrich
before his burning Cannabis, in his alchemical laboratory.  The Latin
inscriptions throughout the mandala declare boldly: "ascending smoke,
sacrificial speech acceptable to God", "Happy is the one who follows
the advice of God", "Without the breath of inspiration from God, no
one finds the great way."  No doubt Paraclesus learned the secrets of
Cannabis through his travels to the middle east, passing the secrets
of the herb to his student Khunrath.  It is his Khunrath's words that
we here a familiar echo on the sanctity of the herb.

These alchemist of Western lore, discovered a truth found within the
doctrine of the Rastafari, the Coptic Christian, the Sufi mystic, the
metaphysical connection that the plant brings to our physical reality.
