I'd never tell you that you should have smoked anything with anyone.

What I'm saying is that taking any medication is a matter of personal conviction. There is no reason to cram your convictions down everyone's throat, with that hearty dose of that EB style mockery and condemnation that you serve up so well.
A matter of convictions?

Then why do you ever advocate marijuana for medical use?

Don't give it to church people who have convictions but it is OK for the general population outside the church? Aquila, do you even understand what you are talking about? The doctor didn't believe that my church brother would be able to be off dialysis for the remainder of his life. Since you believe the RESEARCH, then you would agree with the doctor. Logically from reading your posts that you believe the research. The contrast dye blows out kidneys in people who are susceptible to it. Yet, when it happens the RESEARCH shows that their kidneys don't come back. You would say that the brother would need the treatment. Therefore PTSD and marijuana, and LSD should be the route to take following your logic.

Stick that in your DUH.
First, you didn't pay attention to what I wrote.

Quote:
A preacher can preach that unless one has a medical condition, cannabis has no purpose other than to get stoned, therefore such would be sin. As with other medication.
That would mean that a preacher would be perfectly justified stating that one shouldn't take cannabis without a medical reason, just as the preacher would probably state that taking cough syrup just to get messed up is equally as wrong.

And by the way, there can be "moderation" with cannabis, though I don't put much stock in it due to the nature of it. There is a big difference between a single hit, two hits, and smoking a whole bowl. The more I talk to you about this, the more it is becoming evident that you have little experience in this area. One can take a single hit or two and not suffer couch lock.

Very good.

I remember this story from when you last posted it.

Hence my point.

Baby can't sleep, marijuana is legal, baby takes a hit, baby sleeps.

Wrong behavior of adults comes from societies allow stupid to be the song of the day.
Well, I'm not saying it was the best of advice. I'm just saying that generations lived just fine with some of those old remedies.

Re: Psychotropic Drugs in Religious Rituals

My wife had breast cancer in 1995, it had invaded her lypm nodes and the doctors did not believe that she would make it . She took chemo (adriemicin, cytoxin and 5F-U, I think and forgive the spelling ) and it like to have killed her . A wonderful Godly preacher friend prayed for her and we really believe that God healed her then. It's been 23 wonderful years and she's still with me.

When was the most recent time you smoked a joint? Have you ever eaten a brownie with marijuana baked inside? If so, when was that?

Actually generations had preachers teaching against certain home remedies.
It wasn't because they were backward, they dealt with the outcome.
