Their is a large difference between having a joint once and a while for stress and having a couple glasses of wine a night and becoming dependent on a substance. God put marijuana and alcohol on this earth for a reason. He also gave us the opium poppy which when used properly allows us to do advanced surgery and fend away pain.

And morphine is actually legal in US on a fed level for medical purposes.

Re: the brown herb-- it is known to be cancer causing. Of course the poisons that are added to the nicotine in most tobacco does not help either.

I have found that smoking tobacco detracts from the MJ experience.

The argument that Father at my church uses, is that we are higher than plants, and shouldn't become slaves, as beings made in God's image and likeness, to something lower than ourselves.

I will also add, that 60% of the population in the United States has a "chemically supressed" immune system, caused mostly by "legal" drugs.

As a priest I knew once said, "Put -that- in your pipe and smoke it."

Quote from: Elizabeth

I think so, Spouse, but I don't 100% know. I thought St. Thomas says, "an unjust law is no law at all". But then, am I the one who gets to decide justice?

I think the laws are very unjust. Pot smokers getting all that mandatory prison time, while they let out child rapists who go free and kill and torture more children.

But don't worry, I am law-abiding.

They'll lock up the users, but the dealers? NOOO.

Also, the reason they lock up the users (I think) is because it's a black op by the government to bust people and fill up the prisons.

Thoughts?
