God Does Not Advocate Drug Use!

[Nurse Clampett]

I have seen so many threads about marijuana and the Bible. Read on Tommy Chong wannabes, this is for you.
There is not a Bible verse that condones smoking weed. Not one. My response for years to this suggestion has been if God created marijuana and smoking it is good, then God made mold and smoking it must be good.
There are medical benefits to the cannabis plant, just as there are medical benefits found in molds.You don't get these benefits from smoking weed. No one wants to smoke mold, right? Now lets move on.
God does not give you license to get baked. PERIOD. When you smoke weed you are not just getting stoned, you are ruining your lungs with high levels of tar. We are instructed to keep our bodies as temples to God. Even the most Godless atheist can agree that they want to be healthy.
If you people want to get stoned then do it and shut up about it. Just remember you are breaking secular law by doing so, and destroying your lungs in the process. NOW LEAVE GOD OUT OF IT.

There are a lot of things on God's earth. Some good, some bad. He put the bad here to assist in the 'weeding out' of the bad souls.

Amen brother. God made the good and the bad. Only false Christians believe the lie that "if God made it, that means He thinks it's good."

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.--Isaiah 45:7

Nurse, while you make a valid point and are 100% right about the use of drugs, I feel that your words will fall on deaf ears. Most of these drug fiends who come here already have brains turned to mush and would thus be unable to understand the simple logic that you illustrated.

I wouldn't smoke mold because it's poisonous. Weed may hurt the lungs but the damage is not nearly as bad as cigarettes.

What About Heroin Use? I shoot China-White all the time. I guess God will have to give pity on me for being an addict to the piffleing plant he put on the earth.

Your information has been passed along to the FBI and the DOF. Expect a knock on your door when you least expect it.

That would explain your delusionary rant towards us in the other thread! A criminal of the worst kind and a heroin junkie lecturing us on what's good and bad???

Well, I doubt there are any bible verses condoning unicycles, but I think it would be premature to assume that all unicyclists are sinners.

Dear dope fiend -

Imagining what you want to believe and deciding it's the truth is no substitute for reality. Give this reality a try:

Marijuana cigarettes have no filters. Marijuana also burns at a higher temperature than tobacco.

Smoking one "doobie" does the equivalent lung damage as not one, but FIVE tobacco cigarettes.

A single cannabis joint has the same effect on the lungs as smoking up to five cigarettes in one go, indicates research published ahead of print in the journal Thorax.

The researchers base their findings on 339 adults up to the age of 70, selected from an ongoing study of respiratory health, and categorised into four different groups.

...

All the participants had high definition x-ray scans (computed tomography) taken of their lungs and they took special breathing tests designed to assess how well their lungs worked.

...

Cannabis smokers complained of wheeze, cough, chest tightness and phlegm. But emphysema, the progressive and crippling lung disease, was only seen in those who smoked tobacco, either alone or in combination.

But cannabis still damaged the lungs and stopped them from working properly.

It diminished the numbers of small fine airways, which are important for transporting oxygen and waste products to and from the blood vessels effectively.

And it damaged the large airways of the lung, blocking airflow, and forcing the lungs to work harder.

The extent of this damage was directly related to the number of joints smoked, with higher consumption linked to greater incapacity.

The effect on the lungs of each joint was equivalent to smoking between 2.5 and five cigarettes in one go.

The authors explain that the impact of cannabis is strongly associated with the way in which it is smoked. It is usually smoked without a filter, and at a higher temperature. Smokers tend to inhale more deeply and to hold their breath for longer.

It also has other harmful effects:

New research finds that smoking three or four marijuana cigarettes a week for six years could harm lung function and destroy antioxidants that protect cells against heart disease and cancer, Reuters reported Dec. 5.


"Smoking cannabis on a regular basis actually depletes your lung of protective antioxidant substances and this may have chronic long-term implications for young individuals," said Dr Sarah Nuttall of the University of Birmingham in England.

The study involved a group of 20 people ages 19 to 30 who were either nonsmokers, cigarette smokers, and/or marijuana users. Researchers took blood samples, conducted lung function measurements, and tested for antioxidant markers.

"We found that smokers, compared to nonsmokers, had impaired lung function," Nuttall said.

Nuttall said that when compared to nonsmokers, marijuana smokers had substantially lower levels of a protective antioxidant and nitric oxide, which is linked to lung function.

"These findings are important in young individuals in which the use of cannabis is increasing and may have serious long-term implications for what is currently regarded as a relatively harmless recreational habit," she said.

The study's findings were presented at a meeting of the British Thoracic Society held recently in London, England.

God may well have put poppies on the planet, but did you see him leaving around detailed instruction on how to get opium from them, and then how to refine opium so its strength is multiplied by about 10000? I don't think that information was on the stone tablets...
