Marijuana

bunnysfriend, my point exactly.

For some reason Christianity today has decided to place hedge laws upon people saying Touch not, taste not, handle not. All will perish with the using after the doctrines of men. It has a show of will worship and humility to the neglecating of the body, not to any satifying of the flesh.

If I put pornography in a shop with cigarettes, you will say cigarettes lead to pornography. If you didn't keep marijuana (by DEA admission the safest theraputic drug in existance) in the same shops as you did herion, coke, and XTC maybe you'd stop the gateway syndome. Well, maybe is a light way of putting it. You would stop the gateway syndome. And why is it illegal? Racism, lies, and greed.

Can you seriously say marijuana is harmful with a clear conscience? Did you know it was used in over 2/3rd of all perscription drugs before it was made illegal? Did you know that according to US Govt statistics it has caused 0 deaths since as long as we have kept records. That's a far cry from the hundreds of thousands that die every year because alcohol and cigarettes.

No scripture is against it. Only laws based on lies, greed, and
racism. And those corporation that get their pay checks from echoing the science falsely so called produced by the government.

Fact: Marijuana is less addictive than coffee or chocolate. The only reason you would find yourself unable to control yourself is from watching the brainwashing of a DARE show.

Many people use it as a cheap medicine for everything from AIDS to brain cancer to pain killers. And it actually works. Go figure. It's impossible to overdose. The only problem most people have with it is they get put in jail for a peaceful crime of excerising choice and the right of self-regulation. Once that happens our society strips them of all dignity and forcing them into ever deeper cycles of addiction. Going from a benign substance like weed to ever harder things to get a fix.

The purpose of this topic was to give me a reason not to start smoke when it became legal. All I have heard was people encouraging me to start smoking again. And showing me that by even asking such a question is anti-Christian. Why? Because it's a sin and it's of satan? Excusing me for rofl. That is the answer I'm looking for but without any basis in scripture. So please, you would quite easily solve the question of this topic if you would show 1 scripture about it being a sin or a creation of the devil.

As for coke, if you were to eat the cocoa leaves like the Mayas did to stay awake long nights and work, I have no problem. Cocain on the other hand is purified. Can you guess how many cocoa leaves you are eating in that one line or rail? Glutiny is a sin. I seldom use anything that man assembles from God's creation as far as drugs. Prescription or ones like LCD, XTC, or herion. Man just has a very bad record when it comes to trying to do God's job. Watch a prescription drug commercial. This drug will fix X. Side effects: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.... I'd rather stick with the God given medicines that need no help from us. They've always proven to be more effective.

And if you learn moderation, and you have the Spirit with its fruit like self-control, there is no reason not to use it occasionally once it is legal. Why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? If God never convicts me about it, and He is the one I will have to stand before and give account to, why am I judged by you anyway? I have a conscience the same as you, but mine has shown me the difference between improper use of God's creation and proper use. When God makes anything, including man. It was made with a purpose in mind. Now you can use it for its rightful purpose or abuse it. Nothing it unclean in itself. But because all of you deem this as unclean it is unclean to you.

Guess I answered my own question. Thank you guys for your answers. Been most helpful.0
