“It is the recreational aspect that is being pushed by tools of Satan in my opinion. What individual or societal good can come from being high (or drunk for that matter)?”
Something I’ve been wondering about. Why do you & others believe cannabis use is a “tool of Satan”? Makes zero sense to me since we know from Genesis 1:29 that Our Heavenly Father gave to us ALL the seed bearing plants for use to use. You can’t die from using too much cannabis. Where’s the connection from a plant God gave us to Satan?
Who are you to decide what people can & cannot do in the privacy of their home? If someone wants to smoke/vape/eat cannabis after work, what’s i to you? FR nanny-staters are a truly puzzling group for sure.
I have never heard alcoholic defend their drug so fervently they way potoholics do.
So what is your view / opinion of cocaine (made from the coca plant) and heroine (made from poppy plants)? And do you always indulge yourself in contacting poison ivy and poison oak because our heavenly Father made them? Do you drink hemlock? Our Creator created all things to be sure, but I believe that some things He created were made to be object lessons; that is, there are evil and harmful elements in the world - beware of them. Cannabis, like alcohol, is a drug. Both alter your perception of reality. According to Scripture, the use of drugs is a spiritual experience - I can attest to that. The anglicized Greek word is farmakia. The definition of that word is:
1. the use or the administering of drugs
2. poisoning
3. sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it
4. metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry
Harmless recreational drugs? Methinks not.
And I am not deciding anything for anyone else. Can I really do that by expressing my opinion???
And I live in USSR-WA, so the way I vote normally decides nothing for anyone anyway!
