Hello everyone. I'm curious to know how you feel about Cannabis use. I have written an essay that I'd like to share with you. Hope you enjoy!
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." Genesis 1:29
Those are the very first words that God spoke to mankind. He told us that He Himself made every herb, and He has given us every single one of them.
Cannabis being legalized isn't just about the fact that the Controlled Substance Act is grossly unconstitutional, that mothers and fathers are going to prison and having their children ripped from their homes, that Congress abuses the Commerce Clause to tell us what we cannot have in our own homes and bodies, or the countless lives that have been destroyed because of the failed War on Drugs. Cannabis is a God given right.
The governments tell us God was wrong; that He made a mistake. Why should anyone, whether they support legalization or not, stand for such a thing? Cannabis laws have nothing to do with helping anyone, nor do they have to do with money. The government uses cannabis to invade the rights of everyone. The DEA has put GPS tracking devices on vehicles, they have intercepted millions of American's phone calls, they can open your mail, and they can search your home or car without a warrant by simply saying, "It smelled like marijuana".
The Commerce Clause of the Constitution says that Congress has the power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes". From this single sentence, Congress created the Controlled Substance Act. This is how it works:
Congress has the authority to control "interstate commerce", or commerce between state lines. Commerce within state lines, or "intrastate commerce" is supposed to be regulated by the individual States. However, Congress says that it is not feasible for law enforcement to know whether cannabis is being sold or was obtained through interstate commerce, so they regulate the intrastate commerce as well.
In 2002, Angel Raich's home was invaded by DEA agents who destroyed her six medical cannabis plants. Raich took this to the Supreme Court, claiming that her plants were for personal use and obviously did not affect interstate commerce. The Court disagreed, stating that in Wickard vs. Filburn (1942), the Court had decided that growing wheat for one's personal use was within Congress's power to regulate. This essentially means that Congress has the authority to prohibit absolutely anything. If they wish to prohibit chairs, you cannot have a chair for personal use. They may also ban all materials used to "manufacture" chairs. This is not just about "drugs". This is about our rights and liberties as American citizens.
The Controlled Substance Act says cannabis, or "marihunana" as it's called in the Act, is a Scheduled 1 substance along with heroin and LSD, which means it has no acceptable medicinal value. However, Patent 6630507 is the U.S. Govenment's own patent on the various cannabinoids present in cannabis. The government is lying, and millions of people are forced to use prescription drugs which have rampaged Kentucky and the country.
Yet alcohol, which must be manufactured and has destroyed countless lives, is sold and celebrated all over the country. The Scriptures have plenty to say about alcohol and why it is wise to avoid it. When God made all the plants on the third day, before there was ever a man to till the ground, cannabis grew without any help. There is no need to "manufacture" cannabis. It's a plant!
Some will say "But it's against the law of the land!" Nonsense. The law of the land is that God made all plants and herbs, because the very first words that God said to man is "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed".
God made it, and He made it for you. He made it because He loves you. He made it to bring you health, wellbeing, and to supplement your endocannabinoid system, which He also made. Nobody has the right to tell you that you can't have that which God explicitly said is yours.
"He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth" Psalm 104:14

. I agree that smoking is not the best way to consume cannabis, though I don't think it's necessarily wrong. It's an incense, or the burning of dried herbs. What are your thoughts on consumables?
