How about marijuana for medical use? I have a young man in my church that asks me this question the other day. His doctor wants to prescribe it to him because of some eye problems that he is having. It is in the form of a pill, so I just told him don’t come to church laughing. I didn’t have the answer, but I do know people in the church that are hooked on prescription drugs, and they think its ok. How would some of the pastors on here answer the question about taking a prescription drug that includes marijuana?
A little wine for the stomach and little pot for the healing of the eyes, we could have some good church on Sunday.

If that is the treatment for a serious eye condition I would have no problem with it. However I would use GREAT wisdom and keep my mouth closed about it.
There are many drugs that have a mind altering effect.

In pill form it is legal THC i suspect and it is a treatment for Glaucoma. I dont know the psycotropic affect.
however, there is very clear evidence that people being treated for cancer benifit from Marijuana in ways that no other drug can help.
I think it is stupid to prevent people who are sick to the point of death from having access to a clearly proven medicine. stupid and mean.
Marijuana is less addictive than any pain killer on the market, or beer for that matter.
It should not be legal for recreational purpose, and even if it were, it would be an out rite sin for anyone to use it. But within the confines of medical treatement for pain and symptoms related to chemo therapy like loss of appitite, it is a crime not to allow people to use Marijuana.
As for the example you mention, remember that vicoden is really synthetic opium. so a pill form of THC that helps eye problems (it really does), is no different than someone taking vicoden for extreme pain. and it is not nearly as addictive as vicoden.

The same flower makes morphine and heroin. Good post.

God made marijuana. I believe that there may be some medicinal value to it. The issue is it's abuse, not perscribed and legal use among those with an illness that may benefit from it's use. For example, morphine. Would anyone deny morphine to a person suffering from extreme pain? No. But we'd all reject the idea of just anyone using morphine illegally.
It's not the substance at issue...it's the abuse of the substance.

the pill form of marijuana is called Marinol. it is a dual use drug. used in patients after chemotherapy to increase appetite and also used for pain (not just cancer patients). why would people in the church say it's ok to use oxycodone (active in Percocet, Tylox, Oxycontin, etc....) but not marijuana?
Like someone already said, the problem is not the substance, but the abuse of that substance.

I'd have to double check to be sure, but the poppy plant and marijuana plant are not in the same family. Nor does their use provide the same effects. Stuff like heroin and opium are much stronger than marijuana.
What ever happened to "the Prayer of faith"? Or "by whose stripes ye were healed"?
I still believe in it. I just believe we aren't entitled to miracles...that's why they are...miracles. They are few and normally have a greater purpose than the healing itself.
