Yeah, a lot of stoners just goof off and get the munchies, and all that, and maybe no demons, but listen. We aren't talking the average unsaved stoner here. We are talking born again believers, with real devils who would love nothing more than to steal, kill, and destroy everything about you.

What happens when a person gets high? What affect occurs in and upon the mind? How is it that people who get high or drunk end up with so many demonic problems, and what makes you think you can do as they do and not experience the same demonic problems? What because of some hedge of fire?

Don't you realize altering the chemical balance of the brain, or inducing chemical changes into your brain affects your mind, and your body, and that, because they go hand in hand, your mood, then behavior also change, and the little foxes spoil the tender vines, and before you know it, you're putting God to the test?

Listen, you're going to do whatever you're going to do. I suggest you be about it, whatever it is, but leave it off the forum, because no one is buying what you're selling.

(And if you're seriously contemplating suicide [I'm still catching up on the thread, but I've already heard what's in-store for me in later posts], then brother, for real, get off this forum, get yourself to the VA or to a pastor or someone you trust that can help you. Immediately.)
I detect a lot of fear in your post. Cannabis effects the endocannabinoid system of the brain, brings the brains biochemicals into balance, and even is believed to stimulate growth and repair of brain cells.

A lot of what we were told about cannabis was a lie. All over the world they tried to come up with the same findings and failed. Many involved in those studies have even confessed that political pressures caused them to falsify data.

But what about "burn outs"? Most of those either abused cannabis, laced it with other things, took other drugs, and drank heavily. Cannabis alone doesn't do all that.

The VA would just want to pump me full like pills to make me a Zombie all day long, with erectile disfunction, crazy dreams, loss if appetite, and possible suicidal thoughts.

But with one good treatment of cannabis, even with a high for a few hours, those side effects aren't experienced, and one can go for three to four days with relief before needing to set aside another night to medicate.

So, one can...drool all day on prescription meds... get high one night (if enough THC is present), but be symptom free for days, or...live life as a ticking time bomb.

Wouldn't it be awesome if God just healed everyone instantly? Sadly, He doesn't.
