I understand the prohibition against it demands that virtually ANYONE who uses it becomes a criminal, even if otherwise the herb consumers are a law abiding citizens, respect the law and it's enforcers, and understand the need for authority. I don't personally identify with the idea of "Religion" but I was raised Free Will Baptist and I have made a genuine study of Christianity and the Bible in it's many available versions since I was a teenager. The very first 5 books of the Old Testament are ancient books not only used by Christians but Muslims and Jews as well. The Creator, asserted themselves (read it for your self if you doubt), to man #1 and woman #1, that they were being gifted all the animals and seed bearing plants to assist them to provide for their needs. Only ONE exception was made and I dont think anyone has ever suggested that the Tree of Knowledge was a marijuana plant. I only know I suffer far less in body, mind and soul when I use it. Why do folks think its so bad?

...because they haven't smoked pot before!
I'm like you. I'm Christian, and it says in Genesis that every green plant and herb is there for human consumption.

It's probably the government's fault. Alcohol and tobacco are something that they can tax, but drugs are elusive. So they make them against the law, etc. etc.
The average person thinks it's bad because they're raised to think that. They grow up with the knowledge that drugs are illegal, and are thus "bad". They're fed the falsehood that everyone who use drugs become addicts, resulting in the abandonment of their life.

They are not villified, it's just that they can better use their time doing something for someone else.
Nothing makes a person happier than making someone else happy, in the true Christian way. But know who you are giving to. Don't reward evil with good. Maybe you want to escape reality for a while, but, as you will find out, life is full of ups and downs. That's just the way it is. You have to accept your life and what you make of it, just like everybody else. Good luck

I agree! Why? I mean, stoned people don't rob banks, especially after the advent of "The Cartoon Network" and "X-Box"!!!
