I've used it now for 5 years for pain, cancer and chronic hep c. As a believer in Jesus have I sinned by using hash oil?
Lol is it a sin to get high ? Is it not a slight bonus within his pain to get a smiley face tooNot a sin in my mind, either. You're using it for healing purposes, not to get high.
I'm swaying with weed as I have been lucky enough to have tried a little (before I repented!). It definatley used to help me with my aches and pains before Christ healed my body.Well, I have to agree that it seems stupid for it to be illegal considering that tequila is legal. I'm not sure if getting high is a sin or not, although the Bible says to not be drunk with wine. It does seem more noble to use it for healing purposes rather than simply just to get high. I'm not sitting in judgment either way about it.
Your preaching to the converted buddy If you want to use it then use it, you won't get no judgement from me, if you think it's safe and keeps your pain away then go for it. Can't a man have a little relief now and then?With your health concerns I think it would be wrong to deny you the benefits of a plant that has far less harmful effects than what they would prefer you use. Even less harmful than over the counter pain meds.
Pick up a bottle of Ibuprofen and read the dangers of a pain medication that a child can buy over the counter. Same thing with acetaminophen (Tylenol). Those are basically what is available over the counter and both place you at far worse risk of death or severe damage to your already compromised immune system.
If anyone has the health problems you have, wacky tobacky should be an option made available to them.
I recently asked my doctor to a range a knee replacement for me, but doctor insisted I try pain medication instead.
So off to the pharmacy I go with a perscription for Meloxicam. Same family of drugs that includes Ibuprofen.
