"Stuff I've Seen In Powell River #19" by Callum Houston

River City Q&A: The Marijuana Messiah Part 2

Cancer-fighting marijuana! Mind-expanding psychedelic drugs! Here it is, the conclusion of my

“River City Q&A” interview with the man I’ve dubbed “the Marijuana Messiah.” I have no doubt

you’ll find this installment just as mind-blowing as the first.

In part two, the Marijuana Messiah, who is a medical marijuana grower himself, explains in great

detail why he believes pot to be the ultimate medication for treating many illnesses. As well, he goes

into the excruciatingly exacting methods he employs to produce the most powerfully effective

strains of medicinal weed he possibly can.

Also, he marvels aloud about the wonders of having new dimensions opened up to him through the

use of psychedelic drugs. Plus, he discusses moonshine, bitcoin, what he loves and hates about

Powell River and he tables one of the most intriguing explanations for the spraying of chemtrails on

us that I’ve ever heard. He concludes the interview by revealing his personal prophecies for the

future of mankind.

So, without further ado, here it is, part two of my exclusive interview with Powell River’s own

prince of pot, the Marijuana Messiah!

Callum Houston: Please explain to me the benefits of medical marijuana.

The Marijuana Messiah: Okay, in what kind of capacity are you speaking? Someone who’s

already sick with cancer? Somebody who’s just trying to stay healthy? Somebody who’s dealing

with pain? There’s several different angles we can approach it so maybe I’ll just start off with the

cancer one so we understand what’s going on, all right?

1994, the U.S. government takes out a patent on cannabinoids. In the first sentence it uses the

words “antioxidant” and “neuroprotectant” to describe the actions of cannabinoids. Does that

sound super scary and crazy to you? Those two words?

CH: They’re not exactly common words. What do they mean?

TMM: Well, a neuroprotectant means it protects your brain basically, you know. It scavenges for

free radicals, grabs them, processes them through your body and you excrete them through, you

know, your orifices or sweat glands or whatever, right. Antioxidant, kinda the same thing really,

except for your body and your blood, you know, and your brain as well. So anyway, we have an

endocannabinoid system in our body that has evolved over millions and millions of years. So this

endocannabinoid system -- cannabis, THC, cannabinoids, CBD, CBC, CBN, CBG, on and on and

on it goes, we’re still discovering them today -- fit into that keyhole like no other thing, they fit right

in there. Our body makes its own natural endocannabinoids, okay, for certain things that happen in

the body. But they’re all through your body except in your heart and in your lungs. So there’s no

chance that you can overdose on cannabis in terms of it shutting your central nervous system down.

It’s not gonna happen. You’re gonna go to sleep, you know, or have a psychedelic trip if you take

a super-high dose, you know. Different people, different effects. Different cannabinoids, different

effects.

So anyway, with the cancer what happens is you want to take a super-huge dose, so you’d want to

take sixty grams as a concentrated oil in about two months’ period. And you want to hit the cancer

before it metastasizes. That means it moves through the body. Once that happens, modern science

with their chemotherapy and all their jigmajazz, they can’t even help you at that point once it starts

spreading. Very rarely anyway. There are always exceptions to the cases.

I’m not calling cannabis “a cure.” I’m saying that it can help with some cancers because of this

thing called apoptosis which is what a cell does naturally. A cell is programmed to live and then die.

What happens in cancer, a cell doesn’t die. It starts mutating into this fucking weird thing and

metastasizing and spreading around. Cannabis goes into that clump of shit and says, “It’s time for

you to die, motherfucker!” It turns on the apoptosis again, okay. Not in all cells and not all

cannabinoids, but varying mixtures.

So, like, a cannabinoid, THC, CBD, CBC, CBN, CBG, these are all things that the plant makes,

they do not have smells. The smell comes from something called the terpenoid monothura

secondary metabolites in the plant. So they’re not the main thing that the plant is making but they

are the main thing you notice when you see the plant ’cause you smell it and you’re like, “Wow, that

smells!” These turpines have medical effect. If you take the THC or CBD or CBC and separate it,

it has no smell or taste and the effect -- not very good. You mix it with the turpines and all this

magic starts happening in this thing we call our “brain,” okay.

So this plant needs to be taken as a whole plant medicine. Therein lies the issue with big pharmacies

and Big Pharma. They need something called a Drug Identification Number. They need something

to be stable. They need it to be “this” every time at “this” dose. Cannabis isn’t that. It’s nature,

it’s natural. It can’t be patented because every time you start a seed the genetic profile is different.

So when I take and do an extraction from that whole plant I’m doing it in such a way where I’m

preserving the turpines, the CBD, the CBC, the CBN, the CBG, all of it, in this oil. I’m gonna mix it

with some coconut butter, some type of fat, because THC, those things have a high pass rate in

your gut so your body doesn’t absorb them all, but if you mix it with fat your body grabs fat first

off, right. So it’s gonna grab and make the cannabinoids more effective.

In terms of eating them, you want to do something called decarboxylation as well. Because -- I’ll

tell you about this newfangled thing they call “juicing” which is where you take the live plant and you

juice it for the same chemicals I’m talking about -- THC, CBD, CBN, CBG, etcetera, etcetera -- but

in acid form: They don’t get you high! When that acid drops off and it dries -- the plant material is

wet and then it dries -- the THC acid turns into THC which combined with the terpenes and the

mushroom head globulin that you’re smoking -- that’s what hash is, you know, the separated heads,

you know. But basically these things all together -- fuck. I can’t -- where was I again? What was I

-- what were we talking? Uh cancer, yeah that’s right.

So, for the cancer to be affected you need to have the whole plant. It’s called “the entourage

effect.” It’s everything in the plant. It’s not just science that’s gonna go, “Whoop, we isolated

that, we can put it in Big Pharma.” So therein lies the issue with Big Pharma and cannabis. They’re

never gonna go together because cannabis doesn’t conform to their box. They need it to fit into this

box. It’s not gonna happen, okay.

So, now let’s talk about somebody who’s using cannabis for, say, pain. Neuropathic pain is pretty

popular these days, you know. It’s a groovy thing to get when you’re older. So when your nerves

are going off, it’s making your body feel like you’re, you know, cooking eggs on your legs at four

hundred degrees -- hypersensitivity -- cannabis when smoked has an immediate effect. I don’t

condone smoking joints so much, although I do love it and enjoy it -- well maybe one or two a day

I’d have -- I’m a vaporization kind of guy.

Vaporization technology has gotten to the point where it is very, very, VERY good. You know, two

or three hits for the normal person -- good to go! Somebody who is in pain -- a few more hits,

you’re gonna dull those reactions in your nerves, the cannabinoids glob on to the neurons and they

slow down things. It helps with muscle spasticity. And also that’s a dose kinda similar to a cancer

dose. You slowly build your way up in terms of tolerance. Now there is CBD in the juicing for pain

as well. That is just like new areas that are being -- they’re like the frontier of what’s going on,

taking the raw plant and juicing it, kind of thing. So that’s something I’m experimenting with. But

you have to have a good supply that has no pesticides and is grown organically -- no molds, no

mildews, all that jazz -- because you’re gonna be ingesting this.

So, a lot of growers these days in our modern agricultural methods, the first thing they go to is a

pesticide. Well, one thing I’ve learned about cannabis is that for cannabis to be medicine you

cannot take something that is average and know what is best. You have to have something that is

the best to know what the best is, right? So you cannot -- what’s the quote by Goethe? Johann

Wolfgang von Goethe. It basically says: “You cannot learn fine quality from something that is

average, you need the best.” And that’s the same thing with cannabis. Most people produce

cannabis today with modern agriculture and that is bullshit. It is gross, it is disgusting. The plant

does not turn out the same. The plant needs to be done with somebody who actually understands

what’s going on. It’s not like growing vegetables in terms of having a mineral content in the plant at

the end of the life. You want no mineral content at the end but you want it to have enough minerals

through its life that it’s gonna have a healthy good life all the way through. Be pesticide free, mold

free, all that jazz, right. So, uh yeah, anyway, next question.

CH: Tell me about the medical marijuana you grow. You’ve told me you put a lot of effort into

making it as good as you possibly can. What makes it better than other marijuana that’s

available?

TMM: Well, for me for one, I’ve taken the time to -- the last three years I’ve taken the time to get a

few books and do some science and learnin’ on proportions. Basically, this one book that opened

my mind a lot was called The Ideal Soil by Michael Astera and Agricola. I think he went around to,

basically, the places in the world where the people were the healthiest, okay, and he found out the

foods they ate and then he found out the nutrients that were in those foods that they ate and how

they grew them. So he based the book off, basically, you know, an ideal range for growing

vegetables. Well, I use that same methodology when I’m approaching cannabis. I want to keep it a

hundred percent organic. So I -- over time I started with various numbers of different amendments

and over time of practice and experience I’ve honed those numbers in to where I’m producing the

best, finest product that I can.

Other people don’t take the time to do that. They go and buy a bottle of fertilizer off the shelf and

they go splish-splash and they don’t even really understand what the plant is using, why they’re

using it, when they’re using it, how they’re using it. All that stuff I’m very interested in and even the

mineralization and all that stuff, you know. The lessons are infinite -- they just go on and on and on

and on. And I love that, right. So that’s basically -- I put that into my cannabis, that mode, that

whole mode of thinking, you know. But keeping in mind I am an end-product user so I know what

is good and what is bad. A lot of people who just buy weed on the street only get to try weed that

is bad in my opinion ’cause a lot of guys grow bad weed. It’s very rarely that the good stuff is

getting sold to people, it’s usually kept aside, you know, in very little amounts.

CH: Is that right?

TMM: Yeah. But what I’m learning to do is produce it on a bigger scale. So -- and what I’ve done

over the last three years is produce an actual mix that I can give to the average person. All they do

is add water and the plant grows and in the end they have something that’s beautiful and awesome,

you know, without all the thinking in it. So yeah, that’s the idea. But I approach things from a

different angle than most people. Yeah. I’m a very minimalist when it comes to fertilizer and stuff

like that. I like yellow, yellow plants.
