"And I will raise up for them a plant of renown,
and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land,
neither bear the shame of the heathen any more."
~ Ezekiel 34:29
Redding Charity Turns Down Pot Dispensary's Food
US CA: Record Searchlight (Redding, CA) 06 Nov 2009
A Christian ministry that feeds homeless people in Shasta County is saying "no thanks" to an offer of free food from a medical marijuana collective, much to the chagrin of its co-owner.
"It doesn't make any sense to me," said Joe Munday, who, with his wife, Gina, owns The Green Heart medical marijuana collectives and dispensaries in Anderson, Shasta Lake and Mount Shasta. "Everybody I've told so far about this thinks it's absolutely ridiculous."
Munday, who said his three businesses have been holding food drives for about the past month, called Redding Loaves and Fishes on Wednesday after seeing that organization's TV commercials seeking donations.
He said he eventually spoke on the telephone to a man named Chris, who originally seemed receptive to his offer of the free food.
But, he said, that man called back about 30 minutes later and turned it down.
"He said, 'My pastor and I have been praying on this, and we don't want to accept your food,' " Munday said.

Blasphemy
"In the later times,
some shall speak lies in hypocrisy
commanding to abstain from meats
which God hath created to be
received with thanksgiving of them
which believe and know the truth."

The psychedelic secrets of Santa Claus
by Dana Larsen (18 Dec, 2003)
Modern Christmas traditions are based on ancient mushroom-using shamans.
Although most people see Christmas as a Christian holiday, most of the symbols and icons we associate with Christmas celebrations are actually derived from the shamanistic traditions of the tribal peoples of pre-Christian Northern Europe.
The sacred mushroom of these people was the red and white amanita muscaria mushroom, also known as "fly agaric." These mushrooms are now commonly seen in books of fairy tales, and are usually associated with magic and fairies. This is because they contain potent hallucinogenic compounds, and were used by ancient peoples for insight and transcendental experiences.
