(warning long read) Ok I have 2 questions I am really struggling with. Yes one of them is about Cannabis ( Marijuana ) and the other question is about God but not relating to Marijuana at all. So I am going to start with the Marijuana question first. I have smoked pot since I was 11 years old and I have always questioned if its a sin or not. First of all yes I know its a sin to harm your body and smoking definitely harms your body but, smoking Marijuana is not the only way to use Marijuana. So recently I gave up smoking and now I only orally consume Cannabis which gives the same effect as smoking it with out all the nasty tar inhaled into the lungs. So seriously I cannot find any way on how this is harmful to the body at all if I orally consume the substance and it has never affected my brain in any way... there has even been studies proving that marijuana use does not affect the learning development. ( well duh if your stoned and doing a test its not going to work well probally but it does not affect your ability to learn and do stuff while sober because even when I smoke pot I can still learn while sober and make A's on tests). Also the bible I think it says to stay away from things are addictive. Is marijuana addictive? Yes it is... or probably wouldn't read so much about it if it wasnt but, you have to consider one thing every substance is addictive so thats saying I have to stay away from everything? ... the computer,CoCa -Cola,books, even the Bible can probably be addictive because I just love to hear stories from revelations all the times and I find that addictive that I love to listen to those story's the same way I love to feal the effects of Marijuana. Yes I agree any addiction is bad ,but if I just use Cannabis once to a few times a week in moderation for my relaxation period ... how is it so bad? Yes I also know its in the bible to obey the laws of your land but I know some countrys back in the old days or still now probably do not permit the Holy Bible and the Holy Bible is illegal and there are people who read the bible under those laws while the bible saying to obey the rules of your land so therefore making reading the bible a sin???????? I also hear people saying that its bad to be drunk... yes it is because you loose complete control of your judgement... but when I am "high" off marijuana I can still some what function normally ( I can drive high and never have gotten into a accident while all my accidents happened while sober believe it or not which I came to the conclusion ... ppl high on marijuana make just as many mistakes as people who are sober ) Also I heard people saying Cannabis is not mentioned in the Bible.. Yes it is mentioned in the bibles as "Kaneh Bosm" in the old Testament. Check this link out "h**p://w w w. cannabisculture. com/ backissues/cc05/kanehb .h t m l "
So anyways my basic question is ... am I really sinning by using cannabis a few times a week just to relax and to think about this beautiful world and that its pretty much a harmless thing and is just as bad as other substances we don't usually consider bad such as aspirin and other things ( aspirin kills tons of people every year check this link out. "h**p://w w w . jackherer . com/comparison. h t m l" ). Anyways thats my first question basically is MJ a sin. So anyways my next question(s) are on a completely different subject. I seriously am having a hard time fully understanding God. Do I believe that he exists? yes... why? I dont know I just feal that hes real. So that being said .. I also find god to be some what unfair. First thing is like God int he bible says how the world is going to end like hes going to destroy evil one day etc.. So this brings me to the conclusion God can see the future. So why did he ever let evil be created in the first place if he knew it was going to happen? Why did he create Lucefer his best angel knowing that he was going to turn into evil? Why did he not destroy sin a long time ago? Why is he waiting? Does he like to sit here and watch us suffer and sin!?!?!!? I also don't find it fair that were on earth for an like an average of like 70 years or so and if we dont like do the whole holy thing we go to hell for eternity?!?!!?!? It sounds a bit harsh to me. I mean if I were able to create something such as people... I would never let my creation be in pain or never even know what pain is or even let evil come about it and why would such a loving God let this happen?. I just don't understand this part.... Can some one please try and explain this part of god where I am confused. Anyways I hope this post made sence because I have been typing for a loong time lol and my train of thought can only go on for so long typing with out thinking what I am going to write with out sometype of refrence.. So I hope I made sence I probally left some things out that I wanted to say but whatever, but please answer.... ( EDIT: oh any by the way it says I cant post links until I have 15 posts so I could not post the link in a proper form so it might take some thinking on how to go to those pages but, not to much thinking)
