There is no logical reason not to commit sin. However, there are severe consequences if you do. You might argue the Bible doesn't mention marijuana. Neither does the Bible mention heroin. Are you then going to argue there is nothing wrong with using heroin? If you want me to believe that the Lord tells you to use marijuana for recreation, you are wasting your time.

Dude, people will do drugs. Legal, or not. Drugs kill people, legal or not. That is a cold hard fact. Have you ever been to an OD case? I have. Its the saddest thing ever. One person overdosed on heroin last week actually. He died on his knees leaning over his bed, naked, blood, spit, and lung fluid pouring out of his mouth like water. I hope to God no one has to see things like that. All he had was marijuana, heroin, and 2 dollars to his name. Don't just combat drugs. Combat human misery. Get out there and help these people, instead of playing arm-chair quarterback to a situation you know absolutely nothing about. Maybe marijuana and drugs didn't do anything to you. Then again, maybe they cooked you up so bad that you now think and post like you do. Drugs kill a lot of people, good people who can bring good into this world if only they hadn't made a wrong turn. Maybe it will be up to you to lead them back.
There are consequences to sin. Consequences now and in eternity.
Ga 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
So yeah it does make a difference.
I thought it was the '20's that roared till the market crashed in '29 and the world was plunged into the great depression. Consequences of sin?
For the cause of Christ

Criminalizing drugs is not a deterrent because an addict will still use. It cost 3 times more to keep an addict in jail then it does to send him to rehab. The War on Drugs is all about money. The prison industrial complex is a huge money-making business. Meanwhile it costs taxpayers billions. It's a scam
I think it ought to be legalized for many reasons:
But..... I think it won't pass because:
I wish it would be legalized, but it won't. If Big Business has it banned in 3rd world countries, they will keep it banned here.
- It will stop the "lacing" of it because the FDA will regulate it. People are gonna smoke it anyway, this would keep them from being poisoned.
- Taxation will help the economy.
- Would legalize hemp production, which will produce jobs & help farmers.
- It will put small-time drug dealers outta business.
- It would help cancer patients by lowering the price of medical pot.
- Since it would destroy small-time drug dealing & be legal to smoke, Jails & prisons would be less crowded & save govt's on operation costs.
But..... I think it won't pass because:
- Industrial cotton companies got it outlawed in the first place, because hemp is a stronger plant, is easier to grow, grows fast, & requires little tending, & lasts longer than cotton. This is proven by the fact in WWII, hemp production was legalized temporarily to produce rope for the Navy.
- Pot would bring competition to tobacco & cotton industries, so their lobbyists would pay legislators off to keep it banned.
- Since pot has a calming effect, pharmaceutical companies would lobby to keep it banned because it would compete with the majority of anxiety & low-end depression drugs.
I wish it would be legalized, but it won't. If Big Business has it banned in 3rd world countries, they will keep it banned here.
Ok lets talk about weed. When I had cancer weed was one of the things that helped cure me, weed also is good for diabetes it helps to stabilize and regulate your blood sugar it also is a stress reducer a pain reliever and studies have even shown that it helps your mental brain activity in fact scientists have already proven that weed is a natural herb that has many health benefits.
Now you have alcohol which is legal yet has caused more harm more deaths more abusive families more bar fights than anything else and alcohol has no health benefits and turns even the most polite and mature people into wild animals now does this make sense to you?
Weed helped saved my life and if it wasn't legal I would smoke it in fact weed has many many health benefits but the problem is pharmacist's would lose a butt load of money if it was legal
