Chris, because it is a mind medication, and these people don't have the benefit of knowing that there is another way. The Holy Ghost. Chris, if you ever had received the Holy Ghost you wouldn't seek another way. Because you would have the peace that passeth all understanding. You would know that marijuana can't eclipse the power of the Holy Ghost.

So, if a dear brother or sister has MS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Cancer, or some other debilitating condition... and they are suffering tremendously and the typically prescribed prescription drugs aren't helping, and they resort to cannabis, they don't have the Holy Ghost?

Where's your humanity? Where's your understanding and compassion for suffering brothers and sisters?

It's all pie in the sky health, dreamy peace, and divine healings handed out like candy in EB's world. And I'm accused of being disconnected from realty?

Good grief.

Here me EB. One day, hopefully later than sooner, you'll get sick. You'll come down with some condition you never dreamed of getting, or perhaps a condition you've never heard of. You'll pray for healing. You're family will pray for healing. Your church will pray for healing. Shoot, even your doctors might pray for healing. And guess what, EB? It won't come. You'll draw your last breath, surrounded by those you love, in a bed like everyone else. So, know this... even if every prayer for healing you've ever prayed has produced miraculous results. One day, you'll experience being denied a healing. Hopefully you'll be a 177 years old. But one day, you'll experience what it is like when healing tarries. And you know what... no one should dare say you don't have the Holy Ghost if you seek some form of medication or treatment. I know I wouldn't.

Chris, did you smoke tea leaves in Amsterdam?

Ahhhh… Amsterdam. LOL

You have had myself and three other posters tell you of their testimonies of drug culture. If you had any idea of what you speak you would acknowledge what we have witnessed to you. I haven't read anything concerning dope from the Nixon Administration. You might of. But the Bible says don't go after φαρμάκων which is listed among things like theft. So, there is your book.

I truly do take your testimonies seriously. But as I said before, they are testimonies of abusers. Men who were out of control. Ungoverned. Men who most likely abused alcohol, women, and anything else they could abuse. I praise God that those men were crucified and buried in a watery grave so that I could meet the men who now stand as my brothers (though they refuse to count me as a brother) in Christ today.

But the abuser isn't the rule. People abuse food, sex, alcohol, drugs, the internet, salt, aspirin, cough syrup, etc. People even abuse...the Bible. The abuse of a thing doesn't define the thing, it defines the people.

If someone takes cannabis for any medicinal value after looking deeply into it, consulting a physician, or even personal research... I don't judge them.

Sorceries are practices involving substances with pagan ritual. You can use communion wine in sorcery. It doesn't make communion wine a sin.
