This is totally opposing what Christ taught all his days on the Earth. And you will see when the time comes. Hate hate hate is all I can see from this forum.- Actually I can see better behaviour from atheist and almost in any other forum.
Im out for good. Keep on hating and preaching about killing. You will reap what you sow, idiots.
You brainwashed idiots.

Run along hippy! Clearly you need to go take a few hits and calm down, it sounds like your getting cranky because your "jonesing" for a hit?
You need to work a little more on your English spelling. English is the best language, you need to spend the most time studying it.
This is a True Christian™ forum. We teach and follow the KJV 1611 Bible, and nothing else.
Kill Judge
We are trying to help people by pointing out their problems! Now quit smoking all that dope, Jesus didn't put you on Earth to hang out in la-la land!!
Cancer or not, it is just pointless.
Gather around so that I can read to you from my book of TRUTH. Genesis thru Revelations....Pick one!
Luke 12:5- But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

You can get positive test result of cannabis if you have used cannabis lets say yesterday. It does not effect your driving but you still get positive resutl. And cannabis does not make you more active and hyped and "wanna go and drive" gracy what alcohol does. And by the way. Check this clip from BBC show fifht gear. It is NOT procannabis and anticannabis. It is just a observation video. I recommend it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3zou4F00Ic
marihuna does indeed increase your heart-rate when you use cannabis. And cannabis does NOT cause mentall illness in excessive use. It CAN activate hidden psychosis in heavyuser but it does NOT cause psychosis.
And everything cannabis does to you, you can be certain that alcohol does to you times 10. And yeas it does have more chemicals more than topacca. But then again tobacco smokers smoke a pack a day or more and many budsmokers use cannabis for example once a month and only one or two joints....cannabis can also be eaten or vaporized so there goes the cancermyth.
And did you know that TCH decreases the cancergrowth in labrats? Scientifically proven fact.
Positives for the use was that I had fun with my girl watching movie. Should it be something mindbogling? The fact that it maybe didnt do anything amazing is actually the reason why it should NOT be illegal. We just had good laught with the movie. Should a saturdayafternoon be something mind exploding?
You can be first-time teenage alcohol drinker and you can die. Some idiots in their teenage angst take a bottle of vodka and there they go.
And WHAT gives you the right say that I am from Christ-hating country? What in the world in my writing earlier gave you that impression? If you got that impression from my writing, then you are delusional.
And by the way, marijuana is NOT illegal in whole USA. It is actually pretty stupid and rediculous that you can have 25tolife in some states because of MJ and in other state it is just a minor offence. And it is also ridiculous that you can use medical MJ by the LAW in some states and then again government agencies can come and arrest you and your dying ass because you are trying to relieve your pain with MJ. That is what I call stupidity.
Marijuana has been illegal in USA only under 100 yrs and before that it was widely used. But when blacks and mexicans were to be pinpointed somehow they used cannabis as the reason why mexican should be sent back to mexico from california ( by the way USA inveded california from mexico )....so my point is that there are more political reasons than medical reason why marijuana is illegal.
And did I already tell you the facts about marijuana use in USA. Your teenagers use and try cannabis more than teenagers in countries with less tight cannabis laws. How about that? The war on drugs is a joke. It has been and it continues to be. Hardcore drugs witch DO kill are easier to access and are cheaper and still stupid governments are spending money to this stupid "war" instead of better ways to deal with things.

All the usual justifications for not just illegality, but sin.
If marijuana haas anything useful to offer, let the pharmaceutical companies develope it into forms that cannot be used to corrupt youth...
Maryjane doesn't stop people driving well ?....
Where did you get that.
You ever seen anyyone tie on a good smoke haze ? then try to function.
I have ,in Afghanistan.
The jerks couldn't hold their weapons,
they thought everything was hilarious,
broke noise disipline giggling like schoolgirls viewing a greek statue,
and bitched because they had seen most of their rations off in attacks of the munchies...
Then they blubbed , like aforesaid schoolgirls after a righteous spanking ,when I put them , one by one , through a wall..
It was only a mudbrick and stucco wall, so even that wasn't as bad as they made out.
The bible is clear on booze...it advises about over-indulging , but it is clear on the status of booze as part of life.
1 Timothy 5:23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
People say the bible doesn't speak against drugs, but yes it does...
Matthew 27
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when
he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
Mark 15:23
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
this gall and myrrh are how the old hebrews referred to narcotic additives.
That drink Jesus was offered was traditional as it was spiked with junk to ease the pain of crucifixion.
Jesus was clear on it..
Once he knew what it was and contained...
HE SAID NO...
That's clear enough sign of how he felt about drugs.
They were , and are , a NO NO ....
They''re a sin....
Seek Salvation in Him,
or His Judgement will seek you.

This is God's punishment for smoking the evil reefer:
Quote:
Heavy marijuana use shrinks brain parts: study
Mon Jun 2, 2008
1
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Long-term heavy use of marijuana may cause two important brain structures to shrink, Australian researchers said on Monday. Brain scans showed the hippocampus and amygdala were smaller in men who were heavy marijuana users compared to nonusers, the researchers said. The men had smoked at least five marijuana cigarettes daily for on average 20 years. The hippocampus regulates memory and emotion, while the amygdala plays a critical role in fear and aggression. The study, published in the American Medical Association's journal Archives of General Psychiatry, also found the heavy cannabis users earned lower scores than the nonusers in a verbal learning task -- trying to recall a list of 15 words.
The marijuana users were more likely to exhibit mild signs of psychotic disorders, but not enough to be formally diagnosed with any such disorder, the researchers said. "These findings challenge the widespread perception of cannabis as having limited or no harmful effects on (the) brain and behavior," said Murat Yucel of ORYGEN Research Centre and the University of Melbourne, who led the study.
"Like with most things, some people will experience greater problems associated with cannabis use than others," Yucel said in an e-mail. "Our findings suggest that everyone is vulnerable to potential changes in the brain, some memory problems and psychiatric symptoms if they use heavily enough and for long enough." Among the 15 heavy marijuana users in the study, the hippocampus volume was 12 percent less and the amygdala volume was 7 percent less than in 16 men who were not marijuana users, the researchers said.
The researchers acknowledged that the study did not prove it was the marijuana and not some other factor that triggered these brain differences. But Yucel said the findings certainly suggested marijuana was the cause.
"STONED" FOR 20 YEARS
While about half of the marijuana users reported experiencing some form of paranoia and social withdrawal, only one of the nonusers reported such symptoms, Yucel said. The heavy marijuana users, average age 40, said they had used other illicit drugs less than 10 times, the researchers said. A U.S. group supporting legal sales and regulation of marijuana took issue with the findings, particularly because they were based on men who were such heavy, long-term users.
Yucel said the researchers have begun new research on the effects of both short-term and long-term and moderate and heavy use of marijuana.

Cannabis is not THC. Cannabis is a plant, which contains THC.
If all you want is THC, you can get a LEGAL prescription for Maranol, a pill containing THC.
When smoked, cannabis will cause cancer. Smoking one joint is the equivalent to human lungs of smoking an entire pack of cigarettes. Marijuana burns at a much higher temperature and is not filtered, unlike cigarettes. So, it does much damage to the lungs and throat.

I see you're just another God-hater here to persecute us. You've read a few sentences from the Bible, and claim to know it all.
Try reading the whole thing, friend. We follow ALL of the Bible, not just the little bits that make us feel good.
I suggest you read Numbers 31 to see how God wants us to deal with nonbelievers. You can find the Bible online for free at www.bible.com.
Bible boring? Nonsense!

Well it may be God's gift in this case. This fool will probably smoke himself to an early demise, defending some silly drug.
I wouldn't be surprised if he already smoked away half of his brain.

God strikes another Marijuana user:
Quote:
Lodi man severely burned while extracting oil from marijuana (4:20 p.m.)
September 16, 2008
LODI – A 35-year-old man set himself ablaze, both externally and internally, while attempting to extrapolate oil form a marijuana plant in a Lodi apartment Monday night, Lodi police said. George Elhard, who has no known address, is in critical condition at the University of California Davis Medical Center in Sacramento after his body was set ablaze at 9 p.m. Monday in the 1000 block of S. Washington St., Lodi Police reported.
Officer Dale Eubanks said Elhard put marijuana in a sock, and pushed it into a piece of PVC pipe. He then poured butane into the pipe and let it filter through the sock in order to extrapolate Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from the cannabis. THC is marijuana’s active chemical. The butane fumes were so heavy a nearby water heater ignited, Eubanks said. A flash fire quickly set Elhard ablaze. He also breathed in the butane’s fumes, allowing the flames to encompass his lungs.
“There are lots of ways to extrapolate the oil from marijuana. This happened in a contained space, and the butane fumes just filled the bathroom,” Eubanks said.
Eubanks said some marijuana users like to ingest THC in a liquid form. The oil can be poured on cigarettes or food and is more concentrated than if smoked, he said.

The pot leads to flames engulfing you. One way or another.
How can a thread about weed still be going when it's so obvious that it leads to heroin addiction, prostitution, laziness, obesity, body oder, Gothism and other related faggotry? This thread should have died long ago. With all the excellent True Christian™ evidence presented, how can there possibly be any doubt left as to Marijuana's danger to mind, body and spirit?

hey guys,
I'm from the Netherlands and as most of you know, weed/marijuana/pot/cannabis or whatever you like to call it, is not illegal up here. Does this mean it's not bad for you? No, it doesn't. My sister became Psychotic after she used it, which was pretty scary! Does God love Marijuana? Sure! Everything he made was good, but check out this quote I found on the internet that I love:
" let’s deal with the argument that it is OK to smoke pot since it is a creation of God. Yes, God did create the plant marijuana comes from. However, God NEVER intended you to dry the plant out, go to 7-11 and buy a pack of Zig Zags, crumble the dried plant in the rolling paper, roll it up and smoke it. That my friend is a perverted use of God’s creation."
It's too bad people don't really care about God anymore...
Oh and, isn't anything that alters your mind bad? This includes alcohol. A beer or a wine is good every once in a while, but drinking alot of it and getting drunk is a sin. It's actually stated in the Bible, that drunkards will not enherit the kingdom of God. My friends, even when people claim that weed is GOOD, don't do it. You don't want to risk it! If you do, good luck with the consequences...
Quote:
By the way, marijuana use in USA ( expecially with teens ) with harsh marijuana laws is much higher than Holland, where kannabis use is allowed in coffee shops and in hotels.
|
(I laugh at those coffee shops, we got 3 of them right here in this town. The people that go there are like zombies!)
does that mean it's okay to smoke it? does that mean it's a good rule? maybe it has nothing to do with it being "allowed", maybe it has something to do with the fact that people don't care about morals anymore. Theres a reason the Christian Union (Dutch political party) wants to ban it! They're the only real Christian political party up here.
Quote:
PS so my brains are not fried because of marijuana use. I just know the hard facts about alkohol and marijuana.
|
You do? So you were being sarcastic, no?
Quote:
But kannabis does NOT kill you. Alcohol does.
|
Yeah. Cannabis doesn't give you cancer, neither does Tobacco.
Quote:
What are the postives of it? Can you list some for me? You and your "gf" lit up...Then what? You sat around wasting time and watching movies and eating. Oh my! What a crazy fun day that marijuana gave you.
|
Agreed! Go out and have fun, don't just sit there being a lazy stoner. Theres alot more to life than smoking weed. In fact, if you smoke weed to get rid of stress, immagine what it'd be like when you get REAL stress when you're an adult. Yep... That's going to be hard for ya, isn't it
This topic kinda proves how ignorant and screwed up this generation is.
(no offense to any of you)
Hope I made my point!
God bless all of you, that are smart enough to stay away from weed.

Hi, zwynenburg, your conclusion is correct, but some of your reasoning is inaccurate. Remember when Jesus made wine out of water? John 4:45-47
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
People use heroin, too, and that comes from flowers. God made it, but that doesn't make it good to use it. I don't even let the doctor prescribe me Vicodan when I hurt myself.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Briton jailed for four years in Dubai after customs find cannabis weighing less than a grain of sugar under his shoe
09.02.08
Jailed: Keith Brown had a speck of cannabis on his shoe
A father-of-three who was found with a microscopic speck of cannabis stuck to the bottom of one of his shoes has been sentenced to four years in a Dubai prison.Keith Brown, a council youth development officer, was travelling through the United Arab Emirates on his way back to England when he was stopped as he walked through Dubai's main airport. A search by customs officials uncovered a speck of cannabis weighing just 0.003g - so small it would be invisible to the naked eye and weighing less than a grain of sugar - on the tread of one of his shoes.
Dubai International Airport is a major hub for the Middle East and thousands of Britons pass through it every year to holiday in the glamorous beach and shopping haven. But many of those tourists and business travellers are likely to be unaware of the strict zero-tolerance drugs policy in the UAE. One man has even been jailed for possession of three poppy seeds left over from a bread roll he ate at Heathrow Airport. Painkiller codeine is also banned.
If suspicious of a traveller, customs officials can use high-tech equipment to uncover even the slightest trace of drugs. Mr Brown was detained and arrested in September last year and has been held in a cell with three other men in the city prison ever since. This week the youth worker, who has two young children and a partner at home in Smethwick, West Midlands, was sentenced to four years in prison.
A 25-year-old Briton who was found with a similar speck in one pocket as he arrived on holiday has been awaiting sentence since November. Meanwhile a Big Brother TV executive has so far been held without charge for five days after being arrested for possessing the health supplement melatonin.
The authorities claim to have discovered 0.01g of hashish in his luggage. Last night Mr Brown's brother Lee said his case "defied belief. For that sort of amount common sense should prevail, from where it was found it was obviously something that had been crushed on the floor - it could have come from anywhere." Rastafarian Mr Brown had been returning from a short trip to Ethiopia, where one of his children lives and where he owns property. He was travelling with his partner Imani, who was also stopped and detained for more than a week. Normally he flew direct to and from the UK, but decided to stop off in Dubai. "He was incensed when he called me," said driving instructor Lee, 57. "It would be funny if the circumstances weren't so unpleasant.
"Bugs are crawling out of his mattress when he's sleeping. His family are frantic with worry and can't call him." Last night campaign group Fair Trials International advised visitors to Dubai and Abu Dhabi to "take extreme caution". Chief Executive Catherine Wolthuizen said: "We have seen a steep increase in such cases over the last 18 months. Customs authorities are using highly sensitive new equipment to conduct extremely thorough searches on travelers and if they find any amount - no matter how minute - it will be enough to attract a mandatory four-year prison sentence."
Mrs Wolthuizen added: "We even have reports of the imprisonment of a Swiss man for 'possession' of three poppy seeds on his clothing after he ate a bread roll at Heathrow.
Held: A campaign is underway to secure the release of Cat Le-Huy from a Dubai jail
"What many travellers may not realise is that they can be deemed to be in possession of such banned substances if they can be detected in their urine or bloodstream, or even in tiny, trace amounts on their person." Only two months after Mr Brown was stopped economics graduate Robert Dalton was detained in almost identical circumstances.
Mr Dalton, from Gravesend, on Kent was with two friends when he was stopped and asked to empty his pockets. Officials found 0.03g of cannabis in a small amount of fluff. He is currently on trial and if convicted, is likely receive a four-year prison sentence. Last night his brother Peter, 26, told how it took 24 hours to find out why he had been stopped. "As we understand, the amount of cannabis was barely visible to the human eye and was at the bottom of the pocket of an old pair of jeans. "He's not a drug user, but he goes clubbing and the speck was so small."
Last week Cat Le-Huy, a London-based German national, was arrested on arrival at the airport. Mr Le-Huy, 31, head of technology with Big Brother production company Endemol, was arrested on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs after customs officers found melatonin, a health supplement used for jet lag available over the counter both in Dubai and in the US. Authorities also claim they discovered fragments in one of his bags which they believe to be hashish. Fair Trials International said the amount was 0.01g.

Dubai has taken a hard line stance against drugs, and there's a reason why they do that!! They want to protect their children from the evils of drug addiction. Drugs are dangerous, and you take risks just carrying them around.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Amen Brother!! If it wasn't for the activist liberal joo judges appointd by the Clintons our Godly nation would have it's prisons filled to the brim with foreign scum like our wise business partners in Dubai.
Once Sarah Palin is elected, she will in all likelyhood hire the Dubites to run the DOF for us, further reducing the taxes paid by the folks who create jobs for American companies overseas. Shout Glory!!

First of all Id like to apologize. I did come back writing here even I said I wouldnt.
But to the point. It is just amazingly surprising that god loving christians have so much hate. Everyone here is accusing me of being a hippy, a stoner a idiot and everything else. I just love you being so full of hate.
First of all, I do not use cannabis.
And thats it. You are just so ignorant to the world and live your lives according to writings of some coathearding idiots from 2000 yrs ago. YOU ARE BRAINSWASHED. Stop teaching your children your brainwashed cult and let your children decide what they want to do. Brainwashinf children to be cultist is no less than a child abuse. I feel sorry for you. And when god/jesus does NOT come and save you because of your hatred, I LAUGHT AT YOU!

It's OK--we True Christians™ know never to take unsaved trash seriously, especially when you claim to be "happy" without Jesus in your life.

There is no hate here, Mr. Thurman. If we hated you, would we invest time and hours and hours of our time here trying to Save™ you? We are here to spread the Gospel to you, and set you on the path to Heaven. It is a thankless job, but one we are happy to do as our sweet Lord commands.

Calling things as we see them is hate now? Is it hate speech to say that a flower is pretty, or that Barney Frank is a fag? Is it hate speech to point out your continual flaws in order to show you that only Jesus can fix you, and make you good enough for Heaven this time around?

Have you ever tried "hearding" a "coat"? I haven't. In fact, most sane people would say that trying to listen to an inanimate object is just downright silly. A goat-herder, on the other hand, is an honorable profession for a non-American!

And proud to be! Jesus has washed my brain free from the filth that the secular world has tried so hard to force on me. Any facts that can't make it past the Bible's vetting process are immediately discarded and forgotten, and that's just the way I like it.

If you ask me, it is child abuse NOT to try to save our children from an eternity in Hell. If it takes a few bumps and bruises or a few hospital trips to get the message of the Gospel across, then so be it. The Lord will judge me, not any sort of backwater judge who went to "law school" at "Harvard".
Jesus WILL come back. He promised us, and He is never a liar. God is truthful, and every man is a liar. Make no mistake--He will be back soon and He will be kicking ass and taking names. Hopefully yours will be written in the Book of Life™ and not the Book of Hellbound Trash™.

Well if worshiping Jesus properly and following the Holy Word of God to the letter is "brainwashed" to you, then I guess that's what we are.
By the way, we are actually Blessed for your persecution. Thank you for proving God right again!!
Quote:
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
