Just want add some questions here or something like that.

Anti-social? – Where can you socially smoke marijuana? Cannabis users are forced to be secretive. Also they are forced into a derogated society(limited job opportunities, etc.) Unless you are able to hide it.

Why is no one arguing about prior to 1937(Prohibition date?) to ~10,000B.C.? Cannabis was a part of everyone’s lives! (Rope, canvas, medicines, etc.. Do some research) Everyone grew cannabis, was always used to barter with, etc. Probably why it was not distinguished in biblical texts… No reason to? (Only postulating.) Potential to be the first “billion dollar” crop before prohibition. And a lot more.

Long terms studies… Cannabis is not illegal everywhere… What about Jamaican’s or Rastafarian’s long term health?

Individuals who have not used marijuana….. How can you comment on something you know nothing about? It’s pretty obvious that researching the topic leads to a wide array of possibilities. No? Unless you have used it, please stop commenting.

Oh, and I apologize if the last post was at all arrogant. Peace. (And please respond; I would love some input.)

Hello all. I am a soon-to-be high school sophomore, and I am fascinated by this topic. However, I am a bit paranoid of developing a bias. Though I haven’t even seen marijuana in person, I am quickly finding that the evidence for its legalization is staggering. Yet evidence against pot proves to be smoke and mirrors set up by xenophobes who feel empowered when defining socital norms within their own terms. Currently, the only thing standing between me and pot is a ludicrous law. I ask ANYONE to dispute me.

Most Conservatives I’ve talked to view medical marijuana as an attempt to legalize marijuana for any purpose. Which it is. Even though they have no good arguments against it per se, they oppose it to prevent the door from opening a crack.

What is the conservative stance on medical marijuana? I wouldn’t say I fall into the typical “conservative” paradigm but am conservative on some issues. What I don’t understand is how a natural medicine not just a derivative of the plant but the PLANT ITSELF is not a viable Christian alternative to synthetic medicines? Does the bible not specifically address the use of “all seed-bearing plants” as our gifts from God? I would be dead if not for this gift. Synthetic drugs, even those prescribed by doctors, are dangerous (look at the FDA AERS report at http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/viewresource.asp?resourceID=145). The law should allow for those who choose a natural, CHRISTIAN alternative to those drugs. Any Christian-Conservatives have an opinion on this?

i also was searching for marijuana vs. alcohol and found this.

i think that it is the governments duty to keep us well informed of the actual risks of marijuana smoking but because most of the government gets to where they are by deceiving and being biased this will never happen. most people do not understand what happens to you when you use the drug. no one even bothers to say hey here are the health risks. the most depressing part is those commercials against drug use. where are the commercials against alcohol? not only is the media making alcohol seem more user friendly, the government is actually backing that up. there ARE health risks with smoking marijuana, but they do not include overdose, fetal damage, cancer, brain cell loss or loss of immune system. also for those of you who made comments on the driving impairments of alcohol verses marijuana i want you to know that a whopping 70 – 90 % wrecked solely from alcohol use compared to a small 7 – 20 % who wrecked while under the influnce of marijuana. even in those cases involving marijuana MOST could NOT BE PROVED TO JUST BE FROM POT USE. i am not saying there are no cases of people crashing because of pot use but come on…. how blind are we to not realize that alcohol is by far worse in that situation.

as far as marijuana being a gateway drug, that has NOT scientifically been proven. NOT. does not matter what the argument is for that statement, if science says it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

i am a pot smoker, but guess what? even if i wasn’t i could see this drug should be legalized. the evidence is OVERWHELMING that the government is trying to make us think it’s bad when it’s not near as bad as alcohol! i have been effected greatly by the use of alcohol. i will not go into detail but i have seen what alcohol does to people. i have smoked for 4 years. in only 2 years i experienced someone close to me losing EVERYTHING THEY HAD INCLUDING THEIR LIFE DUE TO ONLY ALCOHOL. i have not had one wreck because of pot. i have not lost a job because of pot. i have not quit school because of pot. i have not changed my life for the worse because of pot.

arguing that it’s a sin? well i don’t follow a religion. my life is however dedicated to seeing through my third eye and finding a higher level of consciousness. i believe in God, but i do not think it is bad to smoke pot. no matter my sins on earth God being the forgiving being it is, will FORGIVE ME. many people have sex before marriage, which is considered a sin, but God forgives you. God created us and we are human and we sin. No human goes through life without sinning. none.

anyways no matter how you try to argue my points one thing is certain, marijuana is not a bad drug no matter how you look at it.

i was just searching google for alcohol versus marijuana just to pass the time and felt the need to pitch my two cents.

yes, the war on drugs is a waste of yours and my taxed income. marijuana will never be stopped. the government will never stop the use of drugs. what it should do is try to teach and help those of us who are curious about drugs. explain it to us with rational thinking and without all the fearmongering that the whitehouse likes to push ever so frequently..
upon finishing, i’ll get back to my biz and let you do yours
blaze up. live free.
peace

Jared–

Well, you certainly write like a pothead, so you have us convinced you indeed smoke several times a day.

Is there a point to be made here?

I have no idea where most of you people are from but I smoke weed several times every day and I,ve been doing it for 5 years. By what many of you are saying I am a stupid pothead and I’m supposedly going to start doing crack or something. This is the most ignorant thing I’ve heard all week, MOST OF YOU PEOPLE NEVER SMOKED POT! And if you did I,m sure you only tried it once or twice. P.S. Those of you who said there is no difference between alcoholand weed, congradulations you are an idiot. SMOKE WEED

this is a comment about Llohr’s comment. “The hardcore drug users used alcohol before marijuana. I honestly believe alcohol is the “gateway” drug because I was extremely intoxicated when I hit my first bong and never had the desire to use marijuana ever.
How many of people have died from alcohol poisoning? Thousands!!!!!
How many people have died from a marijuana over-dose?
ZERO with a capital Z, no people have.” All this information is comepletely true and people who think otherwise are idiots. i am doing research on alcohol compared to marijuana and the resulsts have been awesome. i have found so many things that prove marijuana to be a harmless drug. after weeks on weeks of research, no one will ever tell me that marijuana is bad and not get a five to ten minute feedback that kills thier hole point. alcohol is more a gateway drug then marijuana. i tried alcohol first too. the only people who cant handle marijuana are people who are allergic and pussies who believe their mommies who believed their mommies and so on. my mom is a nurse and she has no problem with me smoking pot 6/7 or 7/7 days a week. because i have a strait A average. bullshit marijuana is bad for you. also, if you look up the deaths rates in the U.S, tobacco is #1, alcohol is either 2 or 3. and FDA approved drugs are their somewhere in between them and marijuana which is at the bottom with zero. pot also helps some diseases or illnesses. And one more thing…the only reason marijuana was illegalized was to keep the hemp industry from being a billion dollor company.it waould have replaced many materials we use today includeing paper. it can be recycled 7 times compared to 3. it had nothing to do with the “badness” of the drug. Harry J Anslinger was the the director of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and he made one comment…”marijuana may lead to opium use.” that is how the gateway drug MYTH got started. no one had real research and they still dont. also it is not legal becuase no politician will risk his job and populatity and money to be pro drug. smoke on smart people.

OK, well, St. Augustine would say that even if it is ever the secular duty of a man to lie (like if he is ordered to by his superiors, or something), he still ought never to lie — not even to save someone’s life. Better to not prevent the killing of a body than to actively commit the murder of your own soul by lying. The Catechism follows his condemnation of all lying. Still, both he and, as I understand it, the Catechism, seem to think that keeping silent or taking some alternative mode of action can usually allow us to accomplish the good we desire without resorting to lies.

As far as I know, we can’t use one sin as a way of avoiding the occasion of another sin, even when it is only a venial sin used to avoid a mortal sin. But life is complicated in the trenches. I usually take that kind of complicated question to my confessor…
