Is it a sin to take medical marijuana?

The Chinese claimed rhinoceros horn powder cured fever. They claimed tiger bones cure arthritis.

The Chinese also claim Pangolin is food. ;D

Seriously though medication isn't forbidden in the Bible, so if you taking a drug for relief of an illness, why not? my only reservation would be potential safety, side effects. just before Christmas i tried some CBD for dystonia type spasms and muscle pain that i have had as part of ongoing neuro issue. it did not help made me worse, made my jaw and throat feel tight like couldn't open properly.

I would never use it or CBD oil. I prefer natural remedies when possible.

but what if you are in a lot of pain and the doctor prescribes medical marijuana

So-called "medical marijuana" is not an approved drug, and cannot be "prescribed." It is also illegal under federal law.

not the case in my country. any medicine is OK spiriutually but it very important to look into side effects. also remember, not every single person will react the same. some people found CBD works for dystonia, for example. i tried it for that and it did not.

no, it's ok. yeah i took it legally but made me worse. mind you, am weird wirth medications, i got dystonia in first place from an adverse reaction to a med. i suspect there may be a gene for making people adverse to certain drugs but i guess they havent found it yet
