The subject opens a can of worms I'm sure. What are your views on this plant/drug?
Please, no judgements on past, present or future users.
Personally, I love it. ...well, loved it.
I smoked it daily for years, but its been since about 2006 that I've last used it. Yes, there are negative psychological and physical consequences for using it. (most people think lungs, that's not where it does the most damage though) ...but there are also legitimate medicinal aspects to it. Plus, it can be pretty darn fun too.
I think it should be legal. Its already practically decriminalized in most of the US, and legal for recreational use in 4 states.
I'm sure some of you are aware of my alcoholism. Drinking was the best fun ever for years, until I drank the fun out of it - and then I couldn't stop, and then it started drinking me. Over 8 years sober, a drink doesn't even sound the slightest bit appealing... ...but weed does.
Still, I refrain from using it because it will take me back to alcohol use. I've tried and tested that multiple times.
I do have a solitary exception though. If I have a chronic or terminal illness, I'm not taking strong opiates (itching all day, nodding off all day, can't poop all day) just to manage pain. No, if I'm in that situation, I'm using medicinal cannabis to be pain free - and I'll probably laugh a lot and eat cookie dough. Thoughts? Opinions?

I am overwhelmingly anti-drugs and against the legalization of marijuana.
"(19) Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; (20) you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
I quote this verse because I think it applies here. Paul wrote this about sexual immorality, but it can really apply to any sort of internal sin against your own body. What makes marijuana a sin is the fact that it is harmful to your body, addictive, illegal, and it gets you high. I think of it similarly to getting drunk. The Bible specifically says to avoid drunkenness (Ephesians 5:18), and a high seems very similar.
However, you can drink responsibly without getting drunk, and the Bible says that that's fine (otherwise, Jesus would have turned the water into grape juice). So does that mean that there is a way to "responsibly" use marijuana? Maybe, but I can't really understand how or why anyone would do it without getting high.
Those are my thoughts on this.
Edit: I forgot to address medicinal cannabis. If it has less harmful side effects than the strong opiates, it seems okay to me, but I have a few concerns about it. If a patient uses it for too long, they might become addicted to it and try to illegally buy more after their pain has passed. I'm also concerned that people might try to illegally sell a bit of their prescription to someone else so they can make a bit of money. I'm not sure if medicinal cannabis is a good idea or not, but I'm not super against it. I am super against the recreational legalization of it though.

I'll offer the opposite opinion: I am for the legalization of marijuana.
There are many things that are "harmful" for our bodies such as sugar, tobacco/nicotine, cholesterol, caffeine... so where does one draw the line as far as what is "permissible" and what isn't? I think it is our attitude that is most important. If we only find our fulfillment or joy in a substance, and we can't appreciate our lives and express joy and thanks to God without them is when it becomes a real problem in our daily living.
I am not saying that I am right nor am I saying that people who disagree with me are wrong. The point is that we should all follow our own convictions. I find that "weed" relaxes me and does less "harm" to my body than the other 'vice' that I tend to gravitate towards (alcohol).
I wish it were legal.

I'd like to point out something biblical - it may not seem like its much sense at first but bear with me here... Exodus 30:22-33 New Living Translation (NLT)
The Anointing Oil 22 Then the Lord said to Moses, 23 “Collect choice spices—12 1⁄2 pounds of pure myrrh, 6 1⁄4 pounds of fragrant cinnamon, 6 1⁄4 pounds of fragrant calamus, 24 and 12 1⁄2 pounds of cassia—as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. Also get one gallon of olive oil. 25 Like a skilled incense maker, blend these ingredients to make a holy anointing oil. 26 Use this sacred oil to anoint the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, 27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and all its accessories, the incense altar, 28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the washbasin with its stand. 29 Consecrate them to make them absolutely holy. After this, whatever touches them will also become holy.
30 “Anoint Aaron and his sons also, consecrating them to serve me as priests. 31 And say to the people of Israel, ‘This holy anointing oil is reserved for me from generation to generation. 32 It must never be used to anoint anyone else, and you must never make any blend like it for yourselves. It is holy, and you must treat it as holy. 33 Anyone who makes a blend like it or anoints someone other than a priest will be cut off from the community.’”
There's the ingredients for holy anointing oil. Pretty cool, eh? I wanted to mention one thing. The original Hebrew states that its not "sweet calamus" (sorry, I didn't paste the (a) footnote details) - its in fact Kaneh-Bosem. (also called Kneh-Bosm, Qaneh-Bosm, different spellings for the same thing.) Kaneh-Bosem is a substance identified by respected etymologists, linguists, anthropologists, botanists and other researchers as cannabis. Over 6 pounds of it specifically, and all the ingredients were extracted to make a gallon and a half of "holy annointed oil". The skin is the largest organ in the body and can absorb many different chemicals. When you take into consideration that those annointed were not just given a few drops, but literally drenched in this mixture, I can comfortably say that it was scientifically impossible for someone to be drenched in it to not be "blitzed" out of their mind. Puts a new spin on Christ being "the annointed one", eh? ______________________ CW, I think its great you're anti-drug. I wouldn't recommend getting into the modern "smoke weed" culture at all. ...however, I don't think God made this plant as a vice for life on this planet, especially considering it was used (even by Christ) for holy purposes back in ancient times. Speaking of life on this planet, did you know that animals love marijuana? I know first hand a buddy of mine years back trying to grow outside and the dear, rabbits and raccoons constantly ate his crop. (and eating it messes you up more than inhaling the smoke from a little spliff of it) In comparison, its been a relatively modern phenomenon (since prohibition in the 30's) that it was American to make "high" = evil, or unholy, its very very bad for you. I think we're slowly moving away from that. A person wold have to consume over 400lbs of Marijuana in a 24 hour period to fatally overdose on it - that's not possible, even trying to make an extract to do that. I would compare pot to the richest chocolate cake in existence. Yes, if you abuse it and eat that every day, you'll be a diabetic (addicted)... and if you're already a diabetic and eat it at all, it will cause serious problems. Is it possible that someone could have a piece a couple times a month or on special occasions and be fine and enjoy it with little to no physical/psychological consequence? Absolutely.

I find that "weed" relaxes me and does less "harm" to my body than the other 'vice' that I tend to gravitate towards (alcohol). Alcohol is definitely WAY worse than marijuana in comparison on so many levels. Most people (including my tolerance from the past) would get "black out drunk" from 750ml of hard liquor. Not pass out, just awake and not knowing what you're doing and certainly not remembering it. That doesn't happen at all with marijuana.

I don't really know what to say in reply. I feel like I've made my point and you guys have made yours and arguing is pointless because we can never convince each other.
So I'll leave it at that. I personally think that smoking weed recreationally is a sin, but perhaps this is an issue that falls under the whole "it's a sin for some, but not for others" thing. I don't know. We'll find out eventually.

I don't think anyone here is trying to argue bro. As for the personal sin, that makes a lot of sense to me. It would definitely be a sin for me to be smoking weed again. I can't moderate it. It leads me back to worse things. ...but I believe the sin is in my gluttony, not the plant itself. I just can't wrap my head around someone sinning because they ate a plant. (It was different with the tree of knowledge because that came with instructions from God. Don't eat it!!!) There's no instructions elsewhere in scripture to say to stay away from it. To the contrary, it's listed as a holy oil ingredient!!!

Yeah I respect everyone's opinion and am not so dense that I don't consider the fact that I absolutely could be wrong.
And thinking that something should be legal doesn't mean I believe it is good for everyone.

If someone purchases recreational marijuana, the only person it benefits is them, and money that could have been spent on something more worthwhile is wasted. I could also mention my former friend who started marijuana. That stuff changed him. He became a huge jerk. He betrayed me after I dedicated nearly an entire year of my life to helping him through an unrelated problem. I will never support marijuana. I get wanting to relax and forget your problems, but people don't need drugs for that. As I always say, why do drugs when you can just listen to music? example song

Oh yeah man, I know of people that became outright animals when they smoked weed. No mellowing out at all!
Some people can't handle it. If its a negative impact socially, monetarily, spiritually, physically, mentally, legally... then it shouldn't be done.
I can understand why someone would do drugs though. Definitely... 8 years clean, its still something I have to work on to stay away from.
...but I don't see any difference in someone blowing $60 on a gambling boat being any better than spending $60 on a bag to smoke away. If that's what the person REALLY wants to do because they enjoy it, risk and all, they should have that right.

I was a very heavy smoker of Marijuana in my past and it became very difficult to quit at one period. I have repented years ago and still have no desire for it again. My creative output slowed down majorly over the years i used, and i struggled with basic discernment, over thinking simple decsion making and it kept me in very self centered state without relizing.
I truly believe that Marijuana is the most deceptive drug used today, because of its mildness. Unlike all other hard-core illegal drugs available that are easily identified as addictive because of the physical withdrawal symptoms that occur, a marijuana user receives a psychological dependence/addiction which deceives him. Because there are no physical signs of addiction, the user believes that he does not need another hit, he just simply chooses to take one. Eventually he finds out quite the contrary when he tries to quit. Marijuana is a hallucinogenic, and this is one of the reasons why using it could be considered sorcery and witchcraft. With the use of drugs, you are opening yourself up to all sorts of spiritual attacks and seducing spirits. Mind altering drugs are used in witchcraft to alter your reality. This can be very dangerous. This is why God calls us to be sober and avoid attacks from Satan (I Peter 5:8). This implies that if we are high, we cannot avoid attacks from the evil one.
In the New Testament, the form of the word "sober" is used 17 times. Sobriety is an important part of a Christian's life. It is impossible to be sober and of a sound mind while using marijuana. Medical science has even deciphered marijuana's high by locating tetrahydrocannabinol receptors in the human brain . "Many users describe two phases of marijuana intoxication; initial stimulation, giddiness, and euphoria, followed by sedation and tranquillity. Mood changes are often accompanied by altered perceptions of time and space and of one's bodily dimensions. The thinking processes become disrupted by fragmentary ideas and memories. Negative effects can include decreased motivation, confusion, acute panic reactions, anxiety attacks, fear, a sense of helplessness, and loss of self control".

Smoking weed didn't stunt my creativity at all. That brought about the Breviarium album. ...but I never understood people that tried to smoke weed and then DO something. 90+ percent of mine was done before bed, because I couldn't function on it. Of course I couldn't record an album while stoned. I don't think smoking weed is a black and white sin, especially with what I said here. Yes its good to be sober, but someone having chronic pain that's prescribed dope from a doctor isn't sober. Someone in a state hospital who's disturbed isn't sober. Its not black and white. If we're splitting hairs, sober also means "serious, sensible, and solemn". Someone who calls sick into work to hang out with friends isn't sober because he didn't make a sensible decision. ...nothing to do with being intoxicated.

Drawnsword also pointed out the spiritual aspect. That's definitely worth mentioning too. Heavier drugs have ties to the occult, though I'm not sure about marijuana in that context.

A few things have changed with me since I last posted in this topic. I can't speak for the pain and inconvenience with all cancer, but what I have (rectal cancer) every bowel movement hurts, and that is every 20 minutes to an hour throughout the day...
I mentioned this in another thread, but there's cannabis oil (CBD) that can be bought that has the THC removed. Obviously, with the THC out, there's no euphoria, no failing drug tests, no addiction and its legal in all 50 states. It certainly makes a difference in the intensity of my gut cramps. I don't know why it helps, but there's something in the plant that eases those symptoms.
I can't imagine someone thinking THAT was evil/immoral.
There's times though, where its so bad that this oil doesn't cut it. ...like yesterday, and I was in a LOT of pain. ...which made me think of using "the real stuff". (since THC seems to strike hard at cancer symptoms) ________________________
I had a bit of a revelation Sunday. I'd been avoiding using cannabis (the real stuff) because in the sober/recovery world, using it is synonymous with substance abuse...
...but I got to thinking about people who abuse pills. (opiates or pain killers) If they HAVE to have surgery or some other procedure, or have some sort of intense pain, they'll be encouraged to take what they abused or something pretty much like it. They'll pretty much have to in some cases of intense pain or strong symptoms that interfere with normal living.
I think substance abuse is more about the abuse than the substance. Someone having a different motive/heart could use the substance formerly abused in a responsible manner. I know its happened.
Myself, when I smoked weed in the past, it was to get intentionally BLAZED and as high as I could.... but if my motive/outlook for taking it now is one of taking medicine, AVOIDING getting high or taking too much, but just taking enough to stop the madness in my gut, I think I can do it if my heart was in the right place.
I prayed hard about this and I had a friend help me out on getting a small amount of cannabis buds for extreme pain days.
Yesterday, since I was in a lot of pain - I had two little puffs and not only was I NOT impaired, I felt like it knocked out most of the bowel urgency and fatigue I've been having. I mean, I called my mom and chatted with her for 2 hours via bluetooth while I cleaned my house at 9pm at night. I haven't done that in months because I'm usually so tired at that point (even with coffee) that its hard to move around. ...and I think that's the first time I can think of since October that I could go more than 2 hours without pooping. (the cancer has really narrowed my intestinal walls)
My mom has had chronic migraines for 40 years. She has her regular medicine she takes, and then she has her "prescription" which is thoreset(sp?) and codeine. ...which can make her a little loopy. I don't see that being any different than me having my regular medicine (CBD) and then a "prescription" (THC) as long as I'm not abusing it or getting high.
(by the way, I did have one of my doctors tell me to get some weed because it would really help. He also said it was off the record and if I ever told anyone he said it, he would deny it. LOL)
I'm not sure about the whole witchcraft or occult stuff with drugs in general. I'm sure there could absolutely be an association, but they're not symbiotic. I still think having the attitude of "smoke till you choke" and "party party" and trying to get as high as you can is wrong, but that wrong is in the abuse, not the "smoking". I actually want to avoid the euphoria as much as possible.
I just want to manage my pain, and if I can do it with one powerful herb instead of a pill for nausea, take another pill to give me an appetite, take a pill for cramping, take another pill for pain, oh the appetite pill interferes with your sleep so you take another pill to sleep....

I just had an epic conversation with my mother regarding marijuana. EPIC.
In case you guys didn't know, I've always known my mom as a conservative Baptist, in church almost every Sunday, her Bible is ragged from use with all sorts of handwritten notes... definitely not a ringer for someone open minded to "drug use", and definitely did not approve when I was abusing it before I got sober. We were talking about my chemo starting on Monday and what that will be like. My mom just blurted out: "Can't you just smoke marijuana instead?"
LOL wut?
She went on to explain that I need to just start smoking marijuana because (her) Uncle Leroy told her that it helps with *insert benefits list* and it really helped Uncle Leroy's dad with cancer years ago. (side note: looks like there IS a family history of cancer on my mom's side)
I hadn't told my mom I've been using cannabis to treat my symptoms. While its a moral grey area IMO, I never wanted to bring it up and rock the boat since I did abuse it when I was drinking back before 2007. I know, It doesn't exactly smell of rigorous honesty to omit that sort of detail to your mom, but I made the decision to not tell her I was using it, because I didn't want her to worry and/or doubt my motive for using it.
So, here's my chance. I open up to her about using it, how long Ive been using it, how much I use, my motives for using it... everything. (felt great to unload like that)
She was THRILLED, and then wanted to make sure I had enough (LOL) and if what I was getting was a good price and quality. I'm so trying not to laugh. Maybe you'd have to know my mom, but I thought this was hilarious.
I know pot is slowly appearing to be a long villainized medical hero, but I never thought my mom would be on board to the point of making sure I get my weedies every morning. LOLOLOL

I'm glad you get some help and comfort with marijuana. I know it has some medical benefits. But my pint of view is that the line between use and abuse is thin and hard to control.
I have never been an addicted but I have been dabbling around with drugs from time to time in the past (alcohol, weed, speed etc)so Iam no saint when it comes to that matters. The last couple of month has been a living hell (sorry for the bad word) since my girlfriend has been on the green cloud the entire summer. She used to be an addicted, but was rehabilitated and clean for almost six years prior to this summer. So I pray everyday for her to get clean again. And I hope you guys will too.
Bottom line is that I hate drugs, marijuana or any other soul sucking drugs.

I'm sorry to hear about your girlfriend's relapse. I'll be praying she realizes the importance of sobriety once again, and her consequences bring her to stop. But my pint of view is that the line between use and abuse is thin and hard to control. Its not about control, its about choice. Control is only lost if someone chooses to abuse it. If someone chooses to use it as medicine, deliberately choosing not to get high, they will have control. ...if you disagree yet have never used cannabis as medicine, I understand. Bottom line is that I hate drugs, marijuana or any other soul sucking drugs. Hating drugs because they "suck souls" is like hating guns because they "kill people". Guns and drugs though, are inanimate objects. I find no reason to hate something that would just sit in a box indefinitely unless someone did something with it. These inanimate objects do have benefits, cannabis has been created to have healing qualities. Guns provide food for or defend families. ...the variable is the person, not the "tool". Not everyone that drinks becomes an alcoholic, not everyone that uses pot becomes addicted to it, not everyone with a gun will take a life with it. That being said, I thought the problem with me being an alcoholic throughout my 20's was because of alcohol. No, the problem was actually me. When people stopped pointing at the liquid I was drinking and started pointing at me, I knew it was me that had to get better. I'd recommend you do the same with your girlfriend, bro. This is about her, not her green cloud.

By the way, Monday August 1st, which was my wife and I's first wedding anniversary, I had already thrown up 6 times by the time I got to my doctors appointment. Regarding chemo, I basically have to use cannabis after eating or I will throw up. ...my 4 other max dose nausea medicines prescribed will not prevent that.
That day was the first time I'd been away from home more than a few hours, and of course, I don't bring my "medicine" with me since there's still the legality me having it, and when I felt sick there - I started hurling. Anyway, my surgeon is recommending a medical marijuana card to my oncologist, which has no qualms with issuing them. My doctors have recommended cannabis from the start, but since I can't function in public well without it, he's going to suggest slow-release THC pills.
My only reluctance with pills is that it might be too much THC for sober thinking. They already think I need more of it, obviously. One toke is easy to be consistent with because, it still works treating the symptoms.

I'v eaten whole fresh green Marijuana buds in my old life and gotten a body stone from that where i felt numbed out and super relaxed only in my body but my mind stayed sober. Only when smoked does it effect the mind so i guess for some who eat buds or take oil to medicate body pain can still find relief and keep a sober mind.

Wanted to talk about something regarding I'm noticing with this. I don't think its a red flag, but more like a quirk? I find myself being a bit of a cannabis connoisseur, comparing the buds of this plant much like I would compare a good apple and a really good apple.
This has nothing to do with the feeling. Regardless of the batch, I'm grateful for relief, but this has to do with it being pleasurable to other senses. What it smells like, what it tastes like, what it feels and looks like. Lung expansion too.
I don't want to mess with the legality of large amounts, so I buy small amounts. I don't go through much pot in my one toke usage anyway, so I don't need much to have plenty. Still, having bought small amounts, I've sampled different kinds. The appeal of it is intriguing to me.
Like the prior batch I bought, it smelled like bad meat - which was awesome, felt kind of gooey like gum - again awesome, was surprisingly light in color, like a white-green color - awesome, looked big for its weight, and came in about 4 cute little buds. This batch I got now, was almost a neon green with gnarly orange hairs - beautiful, smelled like someone took a dump on a bunch of limes they set on fire - awesome, came in 1 giant bud, hard as a rock but sticky... like a fast sticky like superglue - magnificent.
I never buy when I'm out, so I have multiple kinds at a time, and I rotate use to cater to this smell, taste, look, feel reasons. I currently have 3 different types. (don't think I have huge amounts, I've got enough to last months and it fits in my back pocket)
Why is stinky and smelly and gross looking appealing? Why are these things so glorified and positive? I can't quite figure that out. Is it like some kind of psychology where that smell/taste/feel/look is strongly associated with relief, so I love the smell/taste/feel/look by association?
I'll tell you one good thing about these other senses, is its pretty easy to tell how potent something will be based on its traits. That superglue/burnt poop limes one I knew was going to be KILLER so, I got to be careful with even one toke with that one....

I've cut down on this stuff considerably since I got off chemo, but I still seem to "need" it once a day.
I still have a really hard time eating. Just like during chemo, about the second meal (or 3rd snack) I'm wilting, (nausea) and then drag my feet to take my medicine.
I've taken too long before (dragging my feet) and I end up throwing up.
While it's gotten better, I'm still not completely better. While it's one thing to have something to take for relief, it would be much better if I wasn't reliant on anything to feel normal...
...that's not only regarding cannabis but my prescriptions as well.
