BY PETER HECHT - THE SACRAMENTO BEE

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Bryan Davies, an evangelical Christian with a long, drifting beard, is the CEO of a family business that doles out marijuana and spirituality in fragrant, faithful harmony.

His Canna Care dispensary, one of Sacramento's longest operating medical marijuana providers, is as renowned for its political activism at City Hall and the state Capitol as it is for its calls to prayer.

California's medical marijuana industry has drawn people from mortgage brokers to car salesman, from hippies to computer geeks, into the marijuana trade. But Canna Care may well stand out for its singular devotion to serving up cannabis with Christ.


As some marijuana businesses shrink from the spotlight in the face of a federal crackdown that has shuttered hundreds of California dispensaries, Bryan Davies and wife, Lanette, are running radio and newspaper ads touting nightly prayer sessions in their marijuana store.

1. I recall some stories about someone healing lepers and the blind

by anointing them with oil infused with the herb "cannabosom".

There's some disagreement over whether that Aramaic word is the equivalent of the Latin "cannabis."

2. I had on my forearm for about 10 years a slowly

developing but small pre-cancerous lesion. Earlier this year I started putting hemp seed oil on it and covering it with a bandaid every day. After nearly 6 months it healed up and is now just a small scar. At the same time I started having my nightly cannabis brownie and a few hits.

You will NEVER convince me what I did has nothing to do with its healing up. Cannabis has compounds in it that are anti-cancer, especially skin cancer from what I've heard.
