LOL.

In all fairness, I do have to concede that MOST people who use marijuana, and do so "recreationally" like in this video, are certainly sinning, and such abuse is wrong.

There are problems with legalizing it, which I get, but I do know many people who have benefited from it in very small doses and for short periods of time.

The existence of pot-heads is no better of an argument against legalization than the existence of alcoholics is for prohibition.
 
I like your analytical ways.

Then your degree lies. Because if you actually went to a real medical school instead of an online scam, you would know that alcohol has MANY uses. Many of them are good. A lot of them are bad. Alcohol has been used for thousands of years as medicine, and is still used today when other substances either do not work or are not available.

And any doctor or nurse who has a degree knows that. Perhaps you were mistaken?

Well first off, I didn't go to a medical school. Cale does not have a medicine programme.
And second if you actually read what I said. I disagree that alcohol has no use. It wasn't me that said it had no use I was disagreeing. Hey if you had managed to go to school maybe they would have taught you to read.
Pot is not regulated as they cannot keep track of how much there is. Don't be naive enough to be believing any conspiracy theory. You know pot makes you paranoid right?

Drugs are bad, mm-kay?

I have no use for pot or alcohol myself, and what I grew up around makes me wish other people didn't, either. However, marijuana for medicinal use...WHEN ACTUALLY NEEDED, and not because you have an old baseball injury that acts up when it's raining...I don't think that's horrible. I would probably not use it myself, but I don't think that cancer patients who smoke pot occasionally are going to be turned away from the pearly gates, IF they are true Christians.

BTW, I didn't read all the pages in this thread due to lack of interest, so I may have repeated something someone else said, or totally missed the point.
^^
That's my disclaimer.

In that case, I apologize. I misunderstood. Sometimes the "quote" function doesn't work right on this thing.

I'm sorry I misquoted you.

I have heard that pot makes some people paranoid. It doesn't seem to have that effect on most of the people I know who use it regularly.

Back when I used it (years ago) it just made me sleepy and spacey. And now that I'm a mom, I'm sleepy and spacey enough, so I sure don't need any substance to make me feel more that way.

I do think smoking marijuana to get high is sinful... If you need to smoke marijuana to think about God, then I think there's something wrong. :/ In my opinion, marijuana should be allowed for medicinal purposes ONLY. And that's only if it's necessary.....

Apology accepted but I wish you'd apologize for calling me a liar more.

People always use conspiracy to justify illegal things.

Cannabis smoke is bad for you, there is a potential for medication to be made from it however more research is required. It is better if people are honest with themselves. E.g smoking is bad for me but I choose to do it in spite of it.

The only reason it's illegal is because of the conspiracy. Really, it's not that hard to just watch it once. It's not long. I'm not just talking about smoking it, I'm talking about everything that hemp is related to. Low waste paper, long lasting clothing, durable rope etc...

I watched it. Its a pile of nonsense made bu potheads to justify doing something they well know is illegal.
Especially considering you can get hemp clothes and rope. I even have hemp lip balm and skin cream.
 
Still. America is a democracy. That means the laws are subject to change based on the people of the land. That's what the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's was. There are a bunch of grassroots movements against things that are illegal that shouldn't be. But I have to agree with you to an extent, although calling them a name "potheads" is unnecessary and I find any name calling immature. Not that I am a pot smoker or ever will be. Plus they were talking about big business, and they did (I don't know if it was in the second vid or not) say that there was a small percentage of hemp usage as merchandise. What else in there is nonsense?
 
Marijuana is a hallucinogenic you can't really trust whats going on when you smoke it, not even if it leads to you to "thoughts of God"

On the flip side. Using marijuana can also lead to disturbed perceptions and thoughts, and marijuana use can worsen psychotic symptoms in people who have schizophrenia.48

Additionally, there are higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thinking among people who use marijuana when compared to people who don't use.49 Teens who started using marijuana before age 15 are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression in early adulthood.50 A new study shows that smoking marijuana is associated with a 40% increase risk of psychosis, and the risk is greater among regular and frequent users
