If mary jane was legalized in the U.S.?

I agree. But no one here is debating about medical use of marijuana under a doctor's directive. We're arguing recreational use, which is inappropriate for a Christian.

I am, however, willing to stick my neck out a bit and say that self-medicate with marijuana should not be allowed. Only use of marijuana while under the directive of a physician is appropriate for a Christian.

There's no data that supports the idea that marijuana is in any way a cure for cancer. I think we're in agreement over that.

 

Mr. av1611jim and I started debating medical marijuana on the last page. He thinks it's dangerous and ineffective.

Well, duh! What's there to argue about there?

Yes, more's the pity. Cannabinoids may have some anti-cancer activity, but it's a far stretch to get from there to being clinically useful.

 

Actually, OTC pain medicines like tylenol can do the same kind of damage. This is why it was a prescription to begin with. Unfortunately, because they are OTC drugs, and they don't cause weird effects that make them street-valuable, people think they're safe and take them by the fistfuls.

I was taking a LOT of them for back pain before my doctor pointed out the dangers to me.

I remember Dr. Dean Edell (a radio talk show host) saying one time, "People are so careful with the products they put into their cars, but they'll put anything into their own bodies".

I don't disagree with what you said, TexasSky...just adding to it.

 

As a Pastor---as a friend---as a moderator on the BB----I'll encourage you #1 to not start smoking "wacky weed" ---or even plain ole cigarettes for that matter

#2 If you smoke---stop! You can----get you some help---anything to stop!! For Jesus' sake! For your wife's sake! For your kids sake! For your parents sake!

 

wow did i come off wrong or what?????? i was just discussing what i knew and did in the past not what i am doing now. and the rocket scientist had a disease, and was offended by blanket statements like anyone who smokes pot get brain damage. there was an entire show on the legalization for medical use which is the stand point i come from.

if a doctor can prescribe cocaine or one of it's derivitives why not pot???? i tore my cornea once and the doctor gave me liquid xeylocaine which he told me was a form of cocaine. i then asked him if doctors ever prescribed cocaine, and he said rarely, sometimes for a certian type of rinoplasty. don't know though.

i advocate only for medical use, which i thought i made clear, guess not. sorry for the mix up.

thankyou and God Bless

 

I never doubted ya, yeshua4me2

 

and even if smoking pot is not a sin per se.....

1Co 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

1Co 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.


does smoking pot edify?no.
case closed.

thankyou and God Bless
