Hebrew is a pictographic language much like Egyptian Hieroglyphs,
where the words are built up from letters that each have a meaning on their own. So words are a chaining together of sub-meanings of the letters.
Hebrew is resistant to change of the meaning of entire words.
At some point I would like to make this anointing oil because, why not? I have the oil, I just need to source the other ingredients. Anyone have experience making Kanneh-Bosom Holy Anointing Oil?

Sorry... it's a true alphabet, not a pictographic alphabet. There's a limited number of letters (unlike Egyptian, where there are thousands of signs... ditto Chinese)) (more on the language and the 22 letters here)

Not true of Hebrew. I think this information comes from the Kabballa, which is actually a Medieval invention and does not date to the early beginnings of the language.
Like all languages, it evolved over time. There are some variants, including Yiddish.

I'd beg to differ.
The Hebrew alphabet evolved from the 'Paleo-Hebrew/Phoenician' alphabet with Aramaic influences and while its modern form has changed since then, the form used in the original writing of the Hebrew scriptures, at the time of writing, was definitely Paleo-Hebrew.
Here is a link to the Wikipedia article on the Phoenician alphabet which clearly shows the pictographic meanings of the characters. If you read at the top of the article, it is theorized that the Phoenician alphabet was a version of Egyptian Hieroglyphs, modified for convenience of the maritime Phoenicians.

Paleo-Hebrew/Phoenician writing was essentially 'lost' about 130 AD and not rediscovered until 1700 AD (Samaritan alphabet was similar to proto-Hebrew but true Hebrews would not have equated it with being the precursor alphabet) but it wasn't until the 1900's that it was officially recognized.
Although it contains ancient elements, Kabbalah made appearance as a system of mysticism about 1000 AD and rose to prominence in 1200 AD. Except for very late additions, there was no way that Kabbalah could have added back the meanings of the letters unless it was already a tradition in Judaism, being as they were, highly academic and studious in nature.

I concede the point. However, it is not similar to hieroglyphs in any sense of the word.

I disagree here - there was an older tradition in other languages of assigning meaning to numbers and words (see Wikipedia on this)
While cannabis is non-toxic (not a single death has ever been directly attributed to it, despite much effort being given to document such a fatality), calamus is most definitely a toxin. The FDA banned calamus from uses in food and medicines in 1968 as calamus contains more than 75% asarone. Asarone is a poison which has been shown to cause cancer, and has ill effects on heart, liver and kidney functions. This toxin in callamus is used for pest control. Why would God specify a large quantity of a poison be used in holy anointing oil?
If the body naturally has cannabinoid receptors it stands to reason that it must then produce its own cannabinoids. According to the findings of several major scientific studies, human mothers naturally produce cannabinoids in breast milk and furthermore these cannabinoids are vital for proper infant development.
