Channeling: Was cannabis gifted to us by an alien race?

This is a really fun one that I don't think enough people talk about and explore.

There are a few theories as to how the Cannabis plant originated here on earth.

The truth is, we don't exactly fully know where it originated from.

Most people say that the earliest we're able to date it back is to a written record from the Chinese emperor Shen Nung in 2727 B.C...

Shen Nung was known to be the father of medicine in China and cannabis was a part of his pharmacopoeia.

It's believed to have then traveled down to the Greeks, Romans, and Africans.

However, here is where the Dogon tribe theory comes into play, which is what I personally resonate with and could see being highly possible.

If you think about the fact that the only fossil record we have of the actual cannabis plant dates back to 10,000 BCE and we have no true visible history of it before that time, it's interesting and thought provoking.

The word cannabis is a Greek/African derived word. Canna means "dog" and Bis means "2"...

The Dogon tribe in Mali, Africa believed that Cannabis was brought here from the "two-dog star" Sirius A & B, by extraterrestrials.

They believed they brought it here to help with the evolution of human consciousness. Other Native American tribes such as the Cherokee also believed that the plant came from the "star people" to heal us all.

Another fun fact to mention is that the Dogon tribe had always been known to understand more about Sirius before astronomers could even confirm that it was a binary star. It wasn't until 1862 that Astronomers were able to physically see that it in fact has two parts, Sirius A & B.

The Dogon were very in tune with Sirius and to this day they celebrate the

"Sigui Festival."

This festival happens for 7 years in alignment with the 50-plus year cycle.

For 7 years they travel among 7 villages, celebrating in each village for a one year time-span. They consume large amounts of cannabis and celebrate the gift they believed we received from Sirius.

The next cycle and Sigui Festival is coming up in 2027!!

I would dream to be able to possibly go there to experience this as it only happens roughly once in a persons lifetime.

There are many beautiful stories about how the Cannabis plant got here and why. This is one of my favorite.

I hope you all enjoyed this and I encourage everyone to look deeper into the roots of cannabis. This plant is truly for the healing of a nation and I absolutely believe it is a gift from God, through the star people, to us.

There are many ways to utilize this healing herb and I believe everyone can benefit from using it in some way or another.

Your body was born with the ability to receive this plant, how will you utilize this God given gift?

Have a beautiful and blessed week!

With love, The Marijuana Medium
