Cultivation Guidelines for Temple Kaneh Bosem Sacraments

Updated December 2023

 

Members are not allowed to sell, trade, or gift sacred plants listed as controlled substances by the United States government. These are only made available through Temple Kaneh Bosem branches or medicine people who are authorized and recognized by the Temple Kaneh Bosem. This is an important protection for you, as we cannot control the quality of the medicines coming from outside of Temple Kaneh Bosem.

 

The purpose of sacred ceremonies is to connect you to a recognized Temple Kaneh Bosem medicine person who can assist you in the process of healing and empowering your life and your health. This assistance comes when you sit in ceremony with them. We take very seriously the responsibility of assisting people and making sure each participant is physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe and that the sacred medicines are worked with in a safe way and honorable manner.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: If an Temple Kaneh Bosem medicine person gifts or provides you with sacred medicine to work with on a personal level for micro-dosing, there is specific paperwork that is required for this process. You must follow the protocol of the medicine person and documentation is required.

 

When you work with sacred medicines under the guidance of a medicine person at home, this is called Personal Facilitation. Personal facilitation is creating a spiritual, ceremonial space for yourself ONLY, working with a small amount of sacrament / medicine that has been gifted or provided to you from an Temple Kaneh Bosem medicine person that you are working with and under their direction and instruction.

 

 

Cultivation Guidelines for Cannabis:

 

Temple Kaneh Bosem members may cultivate cannabis for personal facilitation as follows:

 

For INDOOR ONLY: members can possess no more than 6 plants, total (regardless of location*), per member at any given time.

For OUTDOOR ONLY: members can possess no more that 4 plants total (regardless of location*), per member at any given time.

For COMBINATION INDOOR / OUTDOOR: members can possess no more than 2 indoor plants and 3 outdoor plants, total (regardless of location*), per member at any given time.

Members CAN claim partial ownership of plant, if and only if, the entire plant is owned entirely by Temple Kaneh Bosem members.

All plants owned by Temple Kaneh Bosem member should be clearly labeled with the name(s) of the Temple Kaneh Bosem member.

If a member owns plants in multiple locations, a list of all owned plants must be available and updated at all times. If the member does not have updated list of plants and locations, the assumption will be made that the member only owns plants in a singular location and ownership of plants in all other locations will NOT be recognized.

* Plant location means that a member may be growing each plant at a different address.

 

DEFINITIONS:

 

INDOOR: cultivation of cannabis with the use of any unnatural light to control the growth cycle

OUTDOOR: cultivation of cannabis with the use of natural sunlight

NOTE: These cultivation amounts may be adjusted based on the written explanation by an authorized Cannabis Medicine Person for Temple Kaneh Bosem. This letter of cultivation exemption must be sent to Temple Kaneh Bosem for approval, and copies must be given to the cultivator, Temple Kaneh Bosem, and the Medicine person. No Temple Kaneh Bosem approved Cannabis Sacrament can be sold, traded, or given to anyone, not even an Temple Kaneh Bosem member.

 

ADDITIONAL POLICY FOR CANNABIS SACRAMENT ONLY:

 

Many states in the United States have legalized cannabis for medical use, and several have made it completely legal for any purpose. In those states where cannabis is legal, you may follow the laws of your state. However, in states where there are still legal limitations, you must follow our sacrament limitations listed here.

 

NOTE: During harvest time, a member may have more than 2 oz in their possession, as they have likely grown enough medicine to last for the season.

 

All medicine over 2 ounces must be put into sealed containers and labeled with the date of harvest and your name and Temple Kaneh Bosem membership number, and either stored in the freezer or a lockbox with an Temple Kaneh Bosem sticker on it. These stickers are available for purchase on the website.

 

It is vitally important that every member growing cannabis understands that this is sacred medicine and cannot be sold or gifted to anyone within or without Temple Kaneh Bosem. The personal cultivations are for personal sacramental and medicinal use only.

 

All cultivations must be on your own property. If you have an agreement with another property owner to cultivate on their land, the property owner must be an Temple Kaneh Bosem member, and you must obtain their written permission. You must submit that documentation to Temple Kaneh Bosem.
