Is there anything you don’t think is liberal propaganda? My point about the tobacco industry is why smoke tobacco when you can smoke marijuana?
Since we still have no deaths attributed to smoking marijuana, what will the lawsuits be about?
I am both religious and have smoked twice. The first time it just put me to sleep, the second time we laughed at things that were in retrospect not that funny. I didn’t experience any increased feelings of spirituality. Of the people I know who smoke, it does not seem to be in order to bring in a false spirituality. It is used very similar to alcohol, either as part of social gatherings or relaxing at the end of the day.
The more appropriate drug for what you are describing would be ‘shrooms. Johns Hopkins did a study of having people take ‘shrooms for the first time and most who did rated it the single most spiritual experience of their lives. I know fewer people who have taken ‘shrooms on a regular basis, but the ones I do are ones I would characterize as spiritually lost especially in comparison to those who smoke weed.
There's not much. They've been remarkably successful in getting their tentacles into every aspect of American society. Education, labor, government, religion. There is virtually no area that they haven't systematically targeted and destroyed.

Tobacco and pot are different chemical reactions. The experience isn't the same.

I don't think two times is enough to understand. There is a whole religion built around smoking pot...Rastafarians. Look at some of the pro-legalizers on FreeRepublic, they constantly make inferences that "God created pot so he must want us to get high". Many pick out bible verses such as Genesis 1:30 to imply that God wants men to smoke pot. Throughout history various pagan religions and cults have used it as a way to commune with the gods.
The bible prohibits it's use consistently. It's covered under the admonitions against what English translators call "witchcraft" or "sorcery". In the new testament:
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, Gal 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
"Sorcery" above is from the greek "pharmakeia" and it
From G5332; medication (pharmacy), that is, (by extension) magic (literal or figurative): - sorcery, witchcraft.
This category covers all type of drugs used for this experience so mushrooms would also apply.
Leftists in the US today are interested in one thing: destroying the things that have made America great. That includes religion. That includes morality. That includes capitalism. It's in their best interest today to promote drug usage in order to achieve this goal. Once they have control, as in the former soviet union, then drug usage is problematic for the citizenry because it's too much like religion. They want people to worship the state. So when leftists have completed their destruction of the constitution, pot and other drugs will be banned...and in a more harsh and draconian fashion than anything we've experienced in America so far.
