I leave you with words from the Bible, King James version, Genesis 29-31: 29
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

Maybe a study of this passage from the original texts, along with some common sense, might be good here. If you take this passage literally, one could be liberally pouring steak sauce on the "meat" of a poppy plant, and possibly end up a heron/opium addict. Think maybe the Lord gave us the hemp plant to make hippie baskets and rug.

One does not have to take the word “meat” literally. Obviously, God knew trees & fruits were not meat. But his words are CLEAR that EVERY plant & animal are for our use & it is “very good”.

God expects us to use common sense, our brains, & PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY when deciding how to use those things given us.

I don't need to gov’t to tell me not to eat opium. Neither do I need them to tell me when I may get morphine to ease my pain. If the gov’t wants to give me fair warning about potentially dangerous substances, that seems reasonable to me. But to criminalize someone for consuming ANYTHING is absurd. This is pure nanny state tyranny.

BTW, the verse you were quoting is not Gen.29:29-31 (I assume this is what you meant, not Gen. 29-31:29), it is Gen.1:29,30, before the fall of man and the flood. After the fall the earth was cursed and would yield "thorns and thistles". Gen.3:17-18.
