Just Google it and you'll see a lot more of this. & I believe it. It's not necessarily a bad thing. It's about as harmful (if not less) than cigs and like alcohol, you shouldn't use it and drive. It helps during cancer therapy and could even help anorexics! You don't find much violence at all from pot cause all the user wants to do is eat, be creative or relax. It also hasn't been proven that it causes any learning problems, memory problems or that it's either physically or psychologically addicting. You think a lot of religious people would be more open-minded about weed if the world mostly runs on religion (which can get kindda annoying i.e. illegal for gay people to marry, close-minded to other religions, etc) & if their God created it.

Why not?
If he could turn water into wine, then why not fig leaves into weed (or flour into cocaine) - that Jesus guy is just one big walking party machine ;););)

Why would I go and read lies that fly in the face of scripture? Jesus was the perfect son of God. While tested in every way Jesus did not sin. Jesus did not let anything come between him and his mission.
Cannabis is a New World plant, I believe and while Jesus could have made some appear why would he? To what purpose? He was the Son of God, people take drugs to make themselves feel better or get high Jesus was way above that.
As for you last bit on annoying God said it was sin so yes we are close minded on the subject? Why should we be open to something God is closed too? Those that put themselves in the place of God find it very inconvenient later in life and certainly in death.

Well, none of your links worked, so it probably makes the topic 'not work' either. If someone can provide proof that He did, I'll discuss it. But Jesus taught that we should not be under the influence of things like cannabis, spirits, alcohol - anything that would weaken us so that satan could overpower and control us.

Just because some self-serving fool made some obscure "discovery" doesn't mean that the thinking among us need to even give the slightest notice to their "scientific" conclusions.
Jesus knew His body was a temple and never defiled it with any such substance.

exciting question. I relatively have heard it stated that Jesus used some strategies changing vegetation for the period of his 40 days interior the desolate tract the place he replaced into temped via devil. i do no longer comprehend for particular, no person does, yet while he replaced right into a stoner, so what? guy made marijuana unlawful. via the way, Jesus grew to become water into wine, no longer grape juice.

people in sin want to believe others especially Jesus lived in sin-sodomites make him out to be one of them too
Jesus said to obey the law of the land=Romans 15
Jesus said to be not drunk on wine (didnt mention weed of the cursed earth) but be filled with the Holy Spirit=which got the highest high on earth
how I came to get this high and learn to share it=what helped me first to see through living a life of lust and using others was=learning about Jesus and then now to teach people to live free-, and Jesus can save them gets set free from hate and learns as Jesus says to even love your friends & enemies and share the gospel with them=how I came to have this help in true love -John 3 repented of sin and born again asking Jesus to my heart in to be my best friend. I prayed as he said to "I love you and knock to come into your heart door, to forgive sins and become your friend, if you repent (even of one lie) and ask me in." Revelation 3:19&20 so I prayed "thanks for dying for my sins, Im sorry for my messing up, help me come into my heart and be my friend, amen." And it worked!
have a great day,
-my dad says he accepted Jesus as a young child, but doesnt live for him -my mom is Jewish and hates Jesus-Isaiah 53 He will be despised and rejected and lay down his life to make atonement for our sins. I am an evangelist to the Jew first so I work hard to win Jewish people to Jesus too=Romans 1:16 unashamed of the gospel for all mankind, David prayin for you -good question too
