Weed was created by someone who didn't tend his garden properly. When
they made the expression "one year's weed, seven years' seed" what do
you think they meant?

Can't resist this topic!

So, something interesting to add. Marijuana, whose active ingredient is
THC, works by bonding to the canibinoid receptor in your "brain" (I'm
not being specific, apologies, but I don't feel like looking up the
exact location *shrug* sue me).

The reason this is significant is because this is the only drug that
works this way. So, if God didn't design this drug, why did he include
the receptor in our bodies "made in HIS image"?

Only assholes add stuff to it, but you can grow a plant in the dirt in
your front yard if it were legal.

If you don't like weed then it is just a weed but if you love weed then
it is a beautiful flower.

"What about Meth jean? yes the ingredients were made by god, when broken
down far enough, but that particular mixture of them wasnt."

Okay. So what's your point?

MY point is that, just because it's "made by God" doesn't make it "fit
for human consumption."

hmmm? So what metric do you use to determine God's intention?

so god is a pothead ..and listens to Jethro Tull...cool

i dont think that god made it for us to party with i think of it as a
medicine for pain an for mental well being an antidepresent if you will.
but dont think its right to say it is something god wants us to do .
just cause its here it is damaging to the temple an we are that temple
but we will do it from time to time any way i know i will.

I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with enjoying the effects of
marijuana.

Just as with anything, irresponsible use of it, or over-indulgence could
be harmful.

But from a purely moral point of view Smoke away!

Just do it responsibly, which includes not to driving under the
influence, etc.

Although, if you believe that your body is your temple, then you may
want to consider possible health issues associated with it. If you’re
physically destroying your body you might consider that to be a sin.

That would come down to whether or not you believe that smoking (or
ingesting) THC is any greater health risk than another things that you
might ingest or indulge in.

One last thing, people often claim that using drugs is an ‘escape’ from
reality. If marijuana is in this reality then to experience it is every
bit as valid as any other experience of reality. So to claim that it’s
an escape from reality is nonsense.

I personally believe that THC can damage your ability to think clearly.
However, if you’re a shallow thinker to begin with that effect isn’t
going to be very noticeable. But for people who ponder deep chains of
logic and reasoning I personally believe that it can take the sharpness
off this ability. I say this from personal experience.

So if you value your mind don’t smoke it. Not that it will turn you
into a completely idiot. But later in life if you decide to take up the
study of something like String Theory you might find yourself wishing
that you had never smoked grass. It has definitely taken the edge off
my ability do contemplate deep chains of logic.

Although, in all fairness I can’t really say that I have proof that my
mental deterioration is linked to specially to smoking grass. It could
be that I’m just coming down with dementia that I would have be
afflicted with in any case.

But I do know that I smoked a lot of grass in my younger days, and now I
don’t have nearly the ability to think as deeply as I did when I was
younger. I used to be sharp as a tack and now I’m dull as a hoe.

There Is STUFF in weed...*insert horrified fainting face here*

<-------------and not from using stuff..laughing cause I'm
happy....JUST happy...and I think weed evolved from weed.

Tomokun, Are you saying those receptors are THC specific? No other
compound in the universe will activate those receptors? We have
receptors in our brain that do absolutely nothing unless they get the
exact specific THC molecule to activate them? I'm highly suspicious...

Or are you saying that THC just 'happens' to trigger a receptor that
exists for some other chemical (or set of chemicals)?

Red, If you like weed, fine, enjoy your weed, you don't have to justify
anything to anyone. But trying to say "God made it, therefore we should
smoke it" is bizarre to me. Every pot plant you've every smoked was the
resulted of generations of selective breeding by humans - its not what
God put on this planet 'in the beginning'. Second, as has been stated
already, just because someone exists in nature does NOT make it a 'good
idea' for smoking.

someone => something

Curious Massage...do you drink?

LOL-Jelly ? is do we care

Ice is right. My personal habits have nothing to do with the content of
my post - unless you read something into it that isn't there.

These two things have nothing to do with each other:

a) The validity of the line of reasoning behind the belief that "God
made pot, therefore we should smoke it"

b) The wisdom of smoking (or not smoking) pot.

there are many that wish to force their

ideas on to others whether it would effect them

directly or not

sure could save a lot of tax dollars and

make a lot of tax dollars

if legallised regulated and taxed

Think of all the money we could save in the courts, prisons, and
possibly law enforcement if we simply decriminalized private possession,
use, and private small scale growing.

Abra perhaps you should take it back up then.

Ain't it possible it helped you think then and the reason you are having
the diffulty now is cause you don't have any.
