Yes, it is. Read: http://www.worthyboards.com/forums/index.p...st&p=304934
Therefore, we should not have any laws at all! Is that what you believe? All law is enslavement. Therefore, you should not be prohibited from killing someone because you hate them. You should not be prohibited from robbing a bank because you need the money. You should not be prohibited from driving an automobile while you are intoxicated because, hey, it's you're right to drive drunk if you want to. I've never read anything more ridiculous.
Really? How so? Can you cite even one example of a "racist" act carried out by someone who hates pot smokers? This is another ridiculous statement. Racism, by definition, is a prejudice based upon ethnicity, not upon behavior. There is no such thing as racism in this context.
Not from using too much marijuana, but from using it at all! The affects of marijuana usage impair vision, motor skills, and reason, to the detriment of the user and other people. So even though there probably is little to no danger of overdosing on pot, there is a very real danger to the user and others from its use. There are likely many documented cases of marijuana usage being a factor in accidental deaths every year.
Wrong. Where do you even get this from? Using marijuana has nothing whatsoever to do with "Feeling good within yourself." You don't need any kind of drug to "feel good." With a nickname like "byHisblood" I'm surprised that you would even make such a statement. True joy comes from loving Christ, not from some artificial source!
It does? Where is THAT verse? In fact the bible says, "Be not drunk with wine, which is in dissoluteness, but be filld in spirit." That verse is found in the book of Ephesians. You should try reading it sometime.
That God "grew marijuana for us to use" is a ridiculous argument unto itself. A clear headed reader of God's Word can tell right off where the problem is with that statement. Ask yourself, did "God grow" all plants for human consumption, or did He grow just some plants for human consumption? Because if God grew all plants for human consumption, why aren't you including poisonous plants in your diet? Try going out and chewing on a few beans from the castor oil plant. The castor oil plant is the most deadly plant on the planet. The beans of this plant produce ricin, which will kill you within seconds.
Of course I don't want you to heed my advice. DON'T go out and eat the beans from a castor oil plant. But the point is, if "God grew marijuana for us to use" then he also grew other plants for us to use. That argument fails miserably, and really it's just an excuse to go out and get stoned without worrying about your conscience bothering you. The Bible calls it "searing the conscience." You are trying to reason away the sin of putting a toxin into your body for carnal pleasure.
ByHisblood, I pray that you are not under the delusion that smoking pot for pleasure is not a sin, because this certainly is not so. It is a sin. And there are reasons that we have laws against its use. Just as there are reasons that we have other laws for our protection.
Well, being that this is my first post here, and being that I am pretty much an expert at drug abuse( From experience in my past of course)I'll tell you what I think.........Drugs and alcohol are sinful when they become your "god"...Meaning, when you spend every waking moment thinking about dope, be it weed or coke or smack,..or drinking... keep in mind, Does God see drug abuse different than the sin of people sitting in front of TV's and computers wasting their time away instead of doing something useful? Perhaps helping a brother out? Or maybe using the dope money to feed someone who's hungry?
Judge the dope by the fruit it bears......Sure, you can be high for awhile, but you also ALWAYS come down..I look back in time and see all the wasted time I had by being "Down"..Thats my biggest regret..The wasted time.Hmmm...Maybe thats why they call it "Wasted" huh?..For me, Now I prefer to be clear minded.Also my health and age have slowed me down dramatically.God sure took His time to get me "Right"...Another thing I did learn......Drugs act as a smoke screen.....When you quit doing dope, you will be able to see other sins that you didnt even realize were there..
Smokin' weed or not smokin' weed...Sure its illegal....And, the bible does tell us to obey the laws...So, there ya have it......But remember,......Sure, its about being right or wrong....But whatever you do, just remember to keep Love in your heart for your fellow man...Love covers sin from Gods eyes. I mean, sure He sees it. But, somewhere in the bible, it tells us this regardless of what sin you happen to be dealing with. Through love, your faith will grow, and, eventually you wont see the attractions of worldly desires as so important. For me, I still have a lot of issues with sin...I didnt start behaving until about 10 years ago, even though I was "Born Again" in the late seventies!
your friend,
