Pope plans to use cocaine soon - well sort of!

[Omegaman 3.0]

It is illegal there except for 2 purposes, neither one of which the pope is doing it for. So it is illegal for the pope. 

 

Yes coca leaves are addictive. 

 

How addictive? Will the Pope be addicted by tyring coca leave once? If not, not an issue.

 

I read that: "The growing of coca leaves for religious and medicinal purposes is legal and licensed in Bolivia."

 

That does not automatically mean they are illegal for all other purposes. If you know otherwise, speak, but I do not. If they are illegal, then the Pope should know better.

Not since 1904, I believe. Any leaves used today have the cocaine removed from them.

I don't agree with you about the chewing gum ,but then I am not an American ,nor afraid to try things .Culturally and spiritually

 fear of everything is not good .  There is too much fear .I am sure that God prefers people who go out to others and makes

mistakes than rest frozen in fear .

 

European culture in Spain ,France ,(especially in the Basque country ,Brittany ,Galicia etc.)are much better calmer,more balanced

kinder ,creative  ,and community oriented than most because they are wise enough to not over strees the negative and instead

see the wonderful positive  aspects of God' creation and they enter into it .

I am sorry but I feel that there is something about the States that makes  young people want to leave this  earth .

One experiences here ,so much better a quality of existence because people live closer to God's spirit . 

 

As for the 'leaves' and the pope ,if they are banned, then he should not touch them .

I think you are confused about the U.S.A. and have fallen for the anti-American propaganda that is prevalent in Western society. Americans don't over-stress the negative. If they do then that's only because of Obama's modern liberal America which is a far cry from the true America that once existed.

People in France, Spain etc. are more calm because they are being deceived by post-modern thinking. They are products of secular humanism and not product of Judeo-Christian thinking.

If anything about the States makes young people want to leave this Earth, it's modern Liberal America that is brainwashing them into hating their nation and its constitutional values.

I don't think that you understand history and you sound to me like a post-modern Christian, a 'wishy-washy' Christian who does not understand scripture.

You have a very different view of the us than is true about the us. Americans are not afraid to try things. Americans do not have fear of everything. We are not less balanced, less creative, less calm or kind or community oriented. I dont think europe lives any closer to the spirit of God. Not when we see how far europe has fallen away from God. See what america is really like before passing such judgments on us.

Actually they still use a coca leaf extract.  

 

After 1904, instead of using fresh leaves, Coca-Cola started using "spent" leaves – the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with trace levels of cocaine.^[67] Since then, Coca-Cola uses a cocaine-free coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey.^[68]

In the United States, the Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant,^[68] which it obtains mainly from Peru and, to a lesser extent, Bolivia. Besides producing the coca flavoring agent for Coca-Cola, the Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which it sells to Mallinckrodt, a St. Louis, Missouri, pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal use.^[69]
