Phoenix Tears

Phoenix tears are the tears of a mythical bird and are said to heal wounds. They are also a name given to cannabis oil.

I've been doing a lot of research and experimentation with cannabis and recently I was able to extract cannabinoids from the plant using coconut oil. This is a significant breakthrough(for me) because there are so many uses for coconut oil(cooking, topical lotion, lubricant, etc). I just tried out my phoenix tears on a cut and it healed quickly, like when I was younger. There are countless stories and research papers about transdermal cannabis and recent studies have shown that cannabis has antibacterial, anti inflammatory, anti-cancer and immune-modulating properties.

Some of you who've been around a while may recall that I've been incorporating cannabis in my jediism. I had previously come up with a meditation ceremony. Next I'd like to try a purification ceremony. I was thinking it might be useful to cover one's whole body in phoenix tears on a regular basis in order to rejuvenate the skin and fix ailments. There is clear evidence that the THC doesn't make it into the blood so I'm not worried about getting high.

I was also thinking of making some kind of long-lasting tincture or cream that I could have on-hand for the daily cuts and scratches I receive on the farm. While it would be perfectly legal to carry this around in my own state and about 30 other states, one wrong step across an imaginary line could result in imprisonment. Or not. It just depends on whether a judge would dismiss the charges and declare cannabis prohibition unconstitutional because it violates someone's freedom of religion .

Any thoughts? Suggestions?
