Beliefs
THC Ministry believes that "cultivation and enjoyment of cannabis sacrament is a fundamental human right provided by God and protected by the Constitution." It states cannabis is the original sacrament of Hebrew,
Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto, Buddhist, Rasta and more, and fulfills the prophesies to 'feed all our hungers'. It believes cannabis to be one of the main ingredients in the original Anointing Oil, as described in The Holy Bible.
It should be noted that the reference to cannabis as an ingredient of the holy annointing oil is actually from the Torah (Five Books of Moses), Exodus 30:24. The plant is called in Hebrew "kaneh bosem" (literally "fragrant cane") and, according to the translation of the Septuagint, is identified as the cannabis plant. Some say that the Hebrew "kaneh bosem" is the etymological precursor for the word "cannabis". In Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's contemporary English translation of the Five Books, "The Living Torah", he includes a picture of the hemp plant as an illustration (p. 442).
