Q
Well I did quit, it takes a month to be fully out of a person's system. The doctor said he doesn't know why I have pain x-rays show nothing, etc. As far as sleep goes, who would I see for that? I can't really control how often I dream or whats in them. I prefer to deal with God and prayer rather than a doctor. I do not believe in taking any of the antidepressants and other medications that give more side effects than healing. I'd rather not take anything (including marijuana) and for now I am not. I recently switched to 3rd shift and sleep during the day. Once my system is clean I'll give an update on the dreams and my ability to sleep. The dreams I have are very intense, their not necessarily nightmares just very intense and detailed.
Q
Also with regards to "lacing" stuff, that's a major myth, people aren't going to spend money on more expensive drugs to lace a bag of weed to drop on the ground. I've been out in the world for awhile and,unfortunately, I know much more about the drug culture than many people, fortunately I stayed away from hard drugs though many of my friends fell victim to them, I am now coming back to God and need to find a church to go to and Christian friends. I do have a friend that does bible study with me and may start going to his church. I am here for fellowship and guidance and do thank you for the input

It is SO like you to do something like this. You are such a prayer warrior. I still have all your messages from when you pray for me. You are so special to others and such an inspiration to me. I will pray with you for this lost young man.

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Ok. So here's the thing on marijuana.
Short term dangers: heart problems due to increased heart rate (50% increase), respitory porblems including suseptibility to infections, impaired judgements (MJ is a factor in one out of twenty fatal accidents), decreased testosterone and sperm count, loss of memory, flashes of paranoia.
Long term dangers: addiction, loss of interest (in work, school, relationships, etc.), lung cancer (3-5 times the danger of cigarettes), loss of ablity to remember (long term effects of THC storage), damage to unborn children (low weight, coordination difficulties) mental health issues (may trigger or increase).
The longer the use and the greater the use, the greater the effect. Some effects may disappear over time, others do not (i.e. cancer, triggered mental illness).

I see a lot of lukewarm in the forum. The Bible clearly states to not defile the temple (our body) which is the Lords. Think about it, Our bodies are Gods to live, with Christ in us. When he looks at us, all the good he sees is his son. Christ wouldn't be smoking weed, because it harms the body, and its illegal. I see many people saying "Do whatever you want".. only if your a jellyfish Christian with no backbone =]

He drank wine 
Pharisees tried to accuse him of being a drunkard and a glutton because he often when to people's houses and ate and drank with them. His first miracle recorded in the Bible involves turning water into wine. I can very well picture Jesus having a sit down with His friends with a nice cold drink.

All things which perish with use are lawful. That is what the scripture say, because the things which go into the body do not defile it, but what comes out shows it to be defiled or holy. The whole point of the apostles teaching in their letters was that the law does not bring holiness. Paul wrote, "If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why as if you were living in the world do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, 'do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!' (which all refer to things destined to perish with the using)---in accordance with the commandment and teachings of men? These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence."
So it is not for us to say if it is right or wrong, but to follow the Spirit in all things. We have been freed with the blood of Christ Jesus, who would put us under the yoke of slavery again? Not someone who is for us in Christ. Blessed is the one who is not condemned in what he allows, for he is free. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus.
In His peace,

I am so glad to see you post this. I once believed that I was saved, because I had made all the right statements and believed what the bible said. I was a member in the church, even had been considered for a slot as an elder. And I was doing whatever I wanted to do, things which were as evil and awful and sinful as can be imagined. No one knew, and I hid it very well. I could act as christian as anyone else, maybe even better, because I have a photogenic memory and could quote scripture as good as anyone. And I was going to hell, no doubt about it. I just didn't think so, I believed that my belief would save me.
But God, in His mercy, opened my eyes. He showed me my life as it appeared to Him, and He rejected it, completely. He told me that He could not accept me into His kingdom with my life. I was devastated! But the revelation was not over. He took that life which was so against Him and placed it into Jesus on the cross. It was gone, over, finished. And then, just so I would know just where I stood, He told me that He would keep my old life there in Jesus on the cross, because He knew that I would just take that life right down from the cross and start to live in it again. I did not humble myself, but God humbled me, for His own purposes. I have no boast, before man or before God.
We have no hope but He saves us. We cannot just say the words, profess and believe unto salvation. There must be a new beginning, and a relationship with the Father through Jesus by the Spirit. And the new life is not like unto the old life, which was destined for destruction, but is perfect and complete and full of love and peace and hope. And that new life does not judge, but only sees what God sees, and only knows what God knows, and only speaks what God speaks. True righteousness.
Again, thank you for posting this,

Lots of stuff. Coke, meth, PCP, E, etc..
It is infact not a myth. I have from personal experiance found out that pot has been laced. A lot of the time, it might even be the dealer's personal stash. But when it is selling purposes, they simply add a few bucks onto the price and advertise it as better then the others. SO when people find out they can get a 8 hour high instead of a 3 hour high, the decision is obvious and an extra 10 bucks doesn't mean much.
