You need to realize that when you go to the Bible with a bias, you will always be able to squeeze some support out of its passages for that bias.
Your bias is especially egregious because it destroys families and subverts the republic that was given the blessing of God.
I would be on my knees in prayer about this if I were you.
I agree totally. That's why I'm being so patient with you.

Let me go back to my previous reply about this subject:
I am doing none of those things. And even if the "war on drugs" is as draconian as pro-drug people say it is, then each and every person who makes the choice to use illegal drugs also takes on the choice of living with the consequences of their behavior. The fact that they want to continue their selfish, self-indulgent behavior at the expense of family, finances and health should be a clear indicator of just how much control marijuana has over their lives. They put marijuana ahead of apparently everything else that is near and dear to them. That, my friend, is the very definition of idolatry.
I would be on my knees in prayer about this if I were you.
I will pray that all of those who are in pain and misery will realize that all pain and misery comes from sinning against God and that they should repent.
