In 1980, Hebrew University in Jerusalem confirmed, kaneh bosm is cannabis (marijuana) which has been mistranslated in 5 places in the Bible and is in fact part of the recipe of the holy anointing oil used in Exodus 30:23. The anointing oil calls for almost 9 pounds of the God-given plant. Isn't there a conflict of interest when America claims being a nation of freedom of religion on the one hand yet on the other hand strives to cage a citizen for using the God-given plant, since Christ God Our Father indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very first page (see Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5). Michael Lineker should not be caged for using what God says is good.
