That's just it, medical science goes back and forth while we are being experimented on. Some things we thought to be advancements were actually step backwards as we are now finding with chemotherapy. Using THC and LSD as therapies will end up in the same dilemma years down the road. chemotherapy was first used in the 1940s.But just 78 years later we are finding that the practice is not only dangerous, but unnessercery for some patients. The use of cannabis as well as other psychotropic plants and fungi will be found to be just as bad or worse. Cannabis is the sacred oil? The Levites were instructed to ingest the oil. Hemp served purposes throughout history, yet cannabis smoking or feeling the effect of the THC is not advocated in the Bible.
