Marijuana addiction can ruin your life because it puts you in a depressed state.

Have you ever smoked pot?

This could become a confessional you know

Grace to you,

To take it a step further though, why is it anyone's business whether or not an adult chooses to smoke pot?

It's not.

However, taking it to the step of legalizing it for society in general and even advocating it in Vending Machines makes it my problem because I have kids. I remember when cigarettes were in Vending Machines. My friends and I took great pleasure in sneaking up and buying them when the adults at the local drug store weren't looking. Matter of fact one of us would run interference while the others put money in to buy them. :taped:

I really have to add this though;

Le

No. Have you?

Yes I have. When I was younger. Thats probably true of most people. I was never that big on it because I never smoked and its rough on your lungs. However, in so far as drugs go, tobacco and alcohol included, pot is not that addictive and I have certainly never heard of anyone getting depressed from it. After all, Willie Nelson seems like a pretty good natured guy.

My thing is that who am I, or you, or anyone to tell another adult what they can do to their own body. If someone wants to sit around and smoke pot all day, then while I think thats a bad idea, who am I to tell them they can't. So long as they are in their own home, then what concern is it of mine. In terms of costs to society, smoking and obesity certainly rank a lot higher, but we don't tell people they can't smoke in their own home or sit around all day over eating and never exercising.

I would also point out that from a biblical perspective, if something is a sin (and I don't really think smoking pot is), then one should choose of their own volition not to engage in it, not be legally compelled not to. Sure, if that individual actions directly impacts the freedom or safety of others, then there is certainly a role for law there, but in so far as something like pot usage goes, I don't really see that being the case. Moreover, even if it were legal, its not like I would go out and start smoking a bowl every day after work. I would just assume not trash my lungs. However, those that want to smoke pot are already doing it. Its not like this big brother law we have against it has accomplished anything.

These vending machines are outside to clinic that dispenses medical pot during the day, and can be only used when the clinic is closed for the night. The question has been asked ... how log do you think they will stay there before someone cleans them out?

Not that I'm proud of it but yes...................and it makes you get the giggles and eat everything in sight, I'd rather see somebody smoking pot than drinking which is a depressant and makes too many people mean and loose all sense of decency.

Amazing how much "demon weed" can help cancer patients.

Asside from the fact that it's sinful to break the laws of your city, nothing.

The only reason I can see for not indulging in illegal drugs is simply because they are illegal. God sets law makers and laws in place for our protection. I trust Him.

That is an interesting libertarian take on it. It's legal in Oregon (and now California evidently) yet the Federal Government still has laws against it, don't they? How does that work? If it is legal somewhere in America then it's only a matter of time, I think.

It's also legal in other countries around the world like Holland, for example. So what makes it OK in one place but not in another? The character of legislating politicians? :rolleyes:

Is it OK that everyone in America these days seems to be addicted to some kind of "medication"?

Addictions to legal drugs seem to be acceptable in America today.

there are other legal drugs that do anything pot can do and better...so that is hardly a justification.

But it is a good excuse for legalization.

I dare you to find a single legal drug that treats all of the following

nausea

chronic pain

muscle spasms

the pathology of glaucoma

the pathology of Alzheimer's

the pathology of Tourette's

the pathology of epilepsy

the pathology of multiple sclerosis

the pathology of anorexia

I dare you. Until then, don't trash God's gifts to us.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
