GOD MADE HERB
GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD
GOD GAVE IT TO MAN

Genesis 1:11
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.

Genesis 1:12
And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:29
And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

Matthew 15:11
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Romans 14: 2-3
For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

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

Yes, but please bear in mind that for most people the bible is only to be taken literally when it says what they want it to say.

Medicinal use and recreational use are worlds apart. I would guess, that the overwhelming use of marijuana, as is alcohol, is recreational. Something Christians should oppose because it is counterproductive to the will and glory of God. And the Bible commands us to abstain from intoxication.

But as a Christian, I am more interested in the winning of souls for the Lord, than the laws of men that force their submission. The forced submission of men to their laws, does not glorify God.

Some sects believe Jesus was actually a sacred mushroom, not an actual physical being...

Exactly. You can eat the herbs(brownies) but you really shouldn't smoke the herb.. that's bad.
