The Translation of Calamus in Exodus 30:23 is a Lie.
If you actually buy the Calamus translation for the Holy Oil, 
 then you assume that God specified in Exodus 30:23 a drug commonly known as 
 Ecstasy. Calamus contains an ingredient called aserone. This is a 
 hallucinogen which is metabolized in the liver as trimethoxyamphetamine or 
 ecstasy. The Middle Eastern version of this plant is far more toxic than 
 it's North American Cousin. This is deadly to flies and other insects. The 
 Exodus 30:23 reference refers to sweet Calamus. If you look at this in the 
 Strong’s concordance where they spell this as qaneh rather than kaneh, they 
 pronounce this as Kaw-Naw, a reed, calamus, and cane are listed as possible 
 translations. The term sweet used in Exodus 30:23 in Hebrew is Bosem. 
 According to the Webster's New World Hebrew Dictionary, Bosem is perfume; 
 scent. The Concordance: the Hebrew is Bosem #1314, fragrance, by impl. 
 spicery; also the balsam plant:----smell, spice, sweet (odour). In some 
 Bibles sweet calamus is translated as aromatic or fragrant Cane. It is where 
 the bosem is fused to the word kaneh or qaneh that the cannabis translation 
 becomes apparent. So then to pronounce this we have kaw-naw-bosem, and is 
 spelled in English qaneh-bosem or kaneh-bosem.
In 1936, Sara Benetowa, later Known as Sula Benet, an etymologist from 
  the Institute of Anthropological Sciences, in Warsaw wrote a treatise, 
  "Tracing One Word Through Different Languages." This was a study on the 
  word Cannabis, based on a study of the oldest Hebrew texts. Although the 
  word cannabis was thought to be of Scythian origin, Benet's research 
  showed it had an earlier root in the Semitic Languages such as Hebrew. 
  Benet demonstrated that the ancient Hebrew word for Cannabis is Kaneh 
  -Bosem. She also did another study called Early Diffusion and Folk Uses 
  of Hemp. There is a reprint of this in Cannabis and Culture 
  ISBN:90-279-7669-4. On page 44, she states, "The sacred character of 
  hemp in biblical times is evident from Exodus 30:23, where Moses was 
  instructed by God to anoint the meeting tent and all of its furnishings 
  with specially prepared oil, containing hemp." On page 41 Sula Benet 
  writes, : In the course of time, the two words kaneh and bosem were 
  fused into one , kanabos or kannabus know to us from the Mishna. 
  According to the Webster's New World Hebrew Dictionary, page 607 the 
  Hebrew for hemp is kanabos. 
Sara Benetowa  discovered that the Kaneh-Bosem or Cannabis is mentioned 5
  times in the Old Testament.   The first occurrence appears in the
  Holy Anointing Oil as Calamus, (Exodus 30:23).  Sara  argued that
  the translation of Calamus  was a mistranslation  which occurred in
  the oldest Bible the “Septuagint” and the mistranslation was copied in
  later versions.

 
Ecstacy Is MDMA. Trimethoxyamphetamine has nothing to do with Ecstacy.
