Being irresponsible by using illegal drugs like it is a good thing is a self dillusion. You can check out pretty much all non-flake religions and they call it a sin, not Holy.

The pro-drug crowd are EXACTLY the same as the homosexuals in regard to wanting their sin seen as normal behavior.
You can make up what ever you wish in regards to God blessing your activity, but it isn't so. You are not dealing with reality.

Where is it written in the U.S. Constitution that the job of the federal government is to punish sinners and if so why not start with the sins described in the "big Ten" list?

Where is it described in the Bible that followers of God persuade a federal government to punish anyone for perceived sins?

I have another question for you in particular: What is the range of your experience with cannabis and the people who enjoy it? I will recount mine on request.

I suggested a few posts back that you might formulate a list of violations of Christian laws that you would like to make federal laws against - and - I can understand that you are very busy just defending your puritan position on the issue of cannabis use - so - I don't expect to see such a list. However - as you continue to push the point that use of marijuana is in some way a violation of the religious views that you embrace - pray tell me if you would like the same degree of enforcement used against marijuana users / merchants for a few of the sins mentioned in just the Ten Commandments i.e.- liars , adulterators, Sabbath breakers. etc.?

Now let's just remember that our federal laws against marijuana use cause the spending of aprox. 10 billion dollars per year to hunt down, arrest, jail, send to court, etc. around 700, 000 basically law abiding citizens just because someone doesn't like how they are altering their mood.

That is un-constitutional and it is just about insane.

Oh, about last night and the cannabis I smoked- I drank a 12 oz. beer and smoked about the volume of marijuana equal to from your cuticle to the end of your ring finger. I put on some Celtic music from "Hearts of Space", lifted weights, did calisthenics and meditated. One of the advantages for me to smoke marijuana before working out is that I have some skeletal pain that the marijuana eases- making the workout less painful and the euphoric state of mind is a good one to be in while working out and meditating. It was nice.

"all non-flake religions ... call it a sin, not Holy."

Proverbs 15:17
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.


I am guessing the Old Testament quotes hold no weight for you
nor the Judaic take on herb since they are only the 12th largest religion.
