A CA Guy:"I am the Lord thy God and thou shall NOT have strange gods before Me. Included worshiping the god of illegal self medication."

Could you explain how the consumption of an herb becomes worship of false gods? I can tell you this though: your blindess to the word in the most easily understood of passages and insistence on surrender of personal soveriegnty to oligarchies and godless intitutions of men which stand as adversaries to the word of God is undoubtedly tantamount to the worship of false gods. Bough to them and disregard the word but know that you have no standing to admonish any other for partaking of a gift from God.

"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God?" --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia, 1782.

Jesus taught us to Love God with all of our hearts and
to Love our brothers and sisters as we love God.
Government waging war upon its people is not Love,
particularly when it is over a gift from God.
Despite the WOD's purported good intentions
it spawns only greater discord and increased use.

Matthew 7:20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Ouch! - Oh! - Again I shout - Touche!

If I ever need one - I want you to be my defense attorney.

Because the pagans are the ones who pot themselves in history out of their minds to worship gods like the moon gods.
Christians, Jews, traditional religious people don't get recreationaly high on drugs as part of their religious experience, nor do they start to look up passages from the Bible and twist it to the dark side of sin nature.

Here's what mainstream religions thought about drugs.

Faith Fights Drugs and Violence
All Congregations Together

Yes, it's very significant that this coalition of 60 congregations—Catholics, Protestants, Jews, numbering 150,000—is wielding clout in City Hall. The mayor's office can't ignore rallies of 4,000 vocal citizens demanding changes in drug enforcement, the police force, building inspection, public housing, practically every facet of community service that affects their neighborhoods.

"Community-Oriented Policing Squad"—are choosing to work in these neighborhoods every day and get to know folks. And many of the drug dealers and gangs are losing influence, at least for the present. That might mean hope that today's youth there will grow up safer and more drug-free.
