My vote is: Medical Marijuana is right. Recreational marijuana is unproductive, but possibly less harmful than alcohol. Perhaps we should make alcohol illegal and replace it with weed.
Then we would have drivers driving down the interstate at 5 mph, or stopping to play their guitars on the bridge. Perhaps they will decorate their hair with fall leaves and dance across the median. At this hour, this is the best plan I can come up with.
Obviously the later it gets, the more I lose all sense of morality, righteousness and clarity.

THAT is terrible parenting. LOL!!!! I try to stick to threats I don't mind carrying out. Just unpleasant enough to get the desired effect, but not unpleasant enough to put BOTH of us in tears.
That's not terrible parenting. That's wonderful parenting.

If there's ever been a thread on this topic, I don't remember it.
Anyhow, what is your belief or conviction on this ?
I'm hearing of more and more people even in PENTECOST who are addicted to pain killers, which some controlled use of marijuana would do wonders for.
I inderstand that there are anti-nausea qualities for the chemo folks.
I figure in the not to distant future it will be legalized across the board anyway. Why prolong people's discomfort when the inevitable is right around the corner?
Maybe we should just apply the Word like medicine and get healed. It is sad to have more faith in chemicals than it the living God. Apply the Word with the same hope and faith as drugs and get a much better result with no side effects.

God gave us all these wonderful items in nature for a reason. Wine, even though it is a natural item that has changed through fementation, is good for you. So why not cannabis? If these items from nature are used for the right purpose and in moderation they could be helpful. Better than all the chemicals we shove in our bodies currently. Ever wonder why all these nasty bugs and diseases are out there? could it be that we have been shoving synthetic garbage in our system for so long that now all these things have mutated into all the superbugs of today? Maybe if we had been looking at natural alternatives we would not have so much of these things going around.

There is a tendency to over-medicate, I believe. So in the cases where the best course of action is no action, I agree: let God take care of it (whether it's by His actively guiding the natural process, or by letting His design do its work). But sometimes, obeying James 5:14 leads to death.

just my thoughts
HA, So it was those feminist who invented wine! To get the men drunk so we would do whatever they wanted us to! I knew it!
