Thanks!

Did not know that MA existed.

**CharlesMatthewG is having fun with us, right! You are joikng, right! THANKS

I never thought it would be legal. I held that view because of the price. They are still getting at least $ 3,200.00 per pound. I hardly ever have a steak–too much per pound.

Who is in bed with whom? I guess the legislative branches of Colorado and Washington are okay with prostitution for themselves.

Opium is a plant - I guess using opium because it a natural plant is ok by your standards - I’m just starting there are many more natural plants that you say is ok to use - you arguments is garbage.

How do you feel when people call you a moron? How about someone you care about? Would you say it to someone you love?
 
Pot can be very harmful.
From personal experience: you feel great for a few hours but your mind is dulled for weeks afterwards. In my case that dulling would cause me to feel very low mood and suffer thoughts of suicide for about 3 weeks starting about 3 days after smoking a joint.
Took me years to admit the problem.
 
God made a lot of things that don’t belong at all in our human bodies.

Arsenic, mercury, lead, cadmium, asbestos, etc.

God made other things that our science has found useful in specific situations for our bodies, but not to be put in them at will.

Curare, belladonna and botulinum toxin (Botox) are examples.

So from the fact that God created marijuana, it DOES NOT follow that we are intended to smoke it for fun.

And whatever God’s own reasons for creating the marijuana plant, it is obvious that our breathing mechanism WAS NOT intended to smoke anything!

This.

and this!

Smoking cannabis is considered rebellious because famous people such as Bob Marley and John Lennon did it in the sixties, not only that but people think they are being counter-cultural for smoking it like they are illumined to some great insight that everybody else lacks.
All of which really it comes down to what you said, the admiration of one’s peers.
I remember myself smoking cannabis, I felt like I was a rebel and the high was actually enlightenment. Well it turns out it wasn’t enlightenment, it was just a chemical reaction in my brain. That’s all drugs do in reality, they make you feel different to normal while at the same time, killing brain cells.

Smoking cannabis for 4 years, let me tell you that your mind is a temple in it’s natural state, after smoking cannabis it was like this very temple had been through the blitz. Regrettably I am definitely not the person I was before I started smoking and I don’t think my brain works as well as it did either.

Some people self-medicate due to undiagnosed depression. Several years ago when I was an atheist and in the throes of depression I admit I was tempted to use drugs to escape this depression. I ended up going to the doctor who mentioned to my surprise that I was neglecting my spiritual life. I found myself in church that same week.

There could be medicinal uses for marijuana but they could be in pill or patch form.🤷

I don’t think CharlesMatthewG is interested in a conversation.

Why is it that people seem to overlook the lung damage of smoking pot?
Click to expand...
That is a very good question! Years ago I knew people who were heavy pot smokers but who would not dream of touching a cigarette. They did not want lung damage or cancer.

I would think MJ is much worse than cigarettes, not that they are at all good. But with MJ which is smoked without filters and held in the lungs as long as possible it has to be more unhealthy than tobacco.

I wonder if any studies have been done on lung cancer, COPD and other respiratory problems with pot smokers?

No offense but calling other people morons is not exactly charitable. If we are going to call other people to live the Christian life then we must be exemplars of the Christian life ourselves.

Good things. In my experience I’ve known people who have almost gone suicidal with marijuana.

Wrong. Pot has mind altering properties. Its classified as a drug so when one uses it, the main purpose is to get high which the catechism condemns

Wine has “mind altering properties” too.

Marijuana is not really a drug. It’s an herb. The same thing holds true for tobacco (or the coffee plant for that matter). A drug (e.g. THC, nicotine, and caffeine) is something that is chemically extracted.

By the way, I’m not suggesting that anyone here go out and smoke what may be considered an illegal drug in your state or country. I’m simply clarifying terms.

I don’t see anything here about it needing to be chemically extracted.
