Kalamazoo, Have you ever met an addict that liked being an addict?

They did not intend to become addicts. They wouldn't wish it on their worse enemy.


Well i havent however i have met people who realized why they were doing drugs and quit before it got worse.. They knew thier intentions

Scientifically, marijuana does not create physical dependence or long-term health effects. There have been zero cases of fatal-effects in marijuana, and it can be used for pharmaucuetical purposes. A drug that has never killed is illegal, yet alcohol kills everyday. Add a little knowledge to your diet.


Scientifically, ha! Not upset with you for saying it however, you can become addicted to anything, so Regardless of what weed has the intentions of weed are addictive in itself, its how you control those addicitions. As the rest of the post i agree with

I have worked in a drug rehabilitation facility. There were men there for pot abuse. I an unusual amount of knowledge on the subject. It does affect the lungs. There is a psychological dependency with it. And that is hard to kick also. Compulsive gamblers have a psychological addiction.

Oops. Didn't mean to do that. The ones that quit are the lucky ones. I have been to NA mtgs. and have heard the talk of the ones that died. Some drugs won't let the users see their intentions. The wiring of their brains have been changed.

Psychological addiction is present in marijuana, but that is dependent more on the psyche of the individual, not the substance itself. An addictive personality can latch on to anything, marijuana is just a vessel.

It is a seed bearing erb (?). So to eat it is fine by scriptures. Smoking it is not mentioned at all. I am sure they did back then. I was watching the History channel tonight. They were working on a 3000 year old mummie found in china that seems to be a mystery to them. One thing they found at this lost community was Pot. I have no problems with it in moderation staying at home. In Columbia Mo about 50 miles from me. It is legal to have under 35 grams in your house. If you get caught with less than that amount in the city it is a 25 dollar ticket. Don't leave the city though.. Go MIZZOO... Blessings ...Miles

Actualy, smoking coltsfoot IS good for the lungs, it cleans the lungs from bacterias and such, typically it's recommended uses are for asthma, bronchitus, though it's also used by women for menstral cramps.

As for Marijuana, as long as it's used and not abused I don't see a problem with it. I used to smoke it myself & the only problems it gave me were finnancial ones. It's permitted to drink wine, so why not marijuana?;^]

Oh, and even if marijuana was physicaly addictive, the user would never see those effects. It stays in your system too long and is a gradual process to work itself out. So, the only addictive aspect is the mental one, so unless you have an addictive personality it's not a big deal;^]

Galatians 5:19-21

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.


Witchcraft is translated from the Greek "pharmakeia", which means "the use or the administering of drugs". Many people who practiced magic used drugs to enter an altered state of mind, which is where the connection comes from. Personally, I wouldn't use any illegal drugs. The New Testament mentions drug use as a sin five times in total.

Drugs are never an easy way out. They only complicate things more than they already are.

I wore that out 30 years ago.

I joke around about it, but don't smoke it.

I don't remember what it was likelaugh laugh laugh huh


It inhibits short term memory and can leave a blank in ones thought process as I remember its effect on me.

Memory function returns gradually, but the gap creates a void that wasn't filled with anything meaningful and seems a waste of time in the end. JMO.

As a Christian , it would be a matter of conscience that is as individual as the individual perceives.

As a Christian walking in the Spirit, the euphoria induced is less appealing than the joy of the Lord in my mind.

But then, I enjoy great coffee and that has side effects that are unpleasant. But hey, go figurelaugh laugh blushing

I used to think hey it's God made it....then I woke up. It's not ok to smoke pot....When I finally gave it to the Lord it was easy to quit and have not had the desire to smoke in a very very long time. I think when you do anything, drinking, smoking drug. It's just clouding you for receiving his word. JMO

Yes, that's true. Most drug addicts started out with the soft stuff and went on to the harder drugs.

i think that weed is overall bad for you. it can contribute to lung cancer and being "high" puts you out of your normal state and makes you "drunk" in a way.

so i dont think god would approve, but i also dont think its a huge deal to god.

that said, i drink alchol occasionally and i find nothing wrong with it if it doesnt make u a into a stupid drunk. god didnt say "dont drink." he said "dont get drunk with whine." i am not getting drunk, so its all good in my eyes. the same probably holds true with weed.

that said, its probably better to not do either.
