“I would say that for the vast majority of people the REAL reason they like it is because it makes them high.”
And you evidence for this is? Do you believe that’s why I use cannabis?
“God did not intend for us to eat or to use *every* plant on the face of the earth. “
You quote the scripture & then declare what Our Heavenly Father did not “intend” when He plainly gives to us “every seed bearing plant”. So you know the mind of God?
The hemlock fallacy was humous though.
Have a great weekend :)
I don't know you. But if you're like MOST "medical" marijuana users you were sold a bad bill of goods. The entire "medical" marijuana propaganda movement was started and funded by leftists who want nothing more than to legalize pot for any means. The big money player is the Marijuana Policy Project which funded many ballot measures and ads to convince people that pot was "medicine". This group was started by members of NORML who for the longest time were considered fringe kooks who advocated for legalized pot. They rebranded themselves and came up with a strategy of turning pot into "medicine". Their propaganda is relentless and they've spent hundreds of millions of dollars to push their leftist view of "pot is good" on the American people.
Some may be absolutely convinced that smoking pot is helping them. But for someone who likes to get high it's not a huge stretch to deceive ourselves into thinking that smoking pot is healthy and not unhealthy. Think about that. When I smoked pot I convinced myself that it settled my nerves. And it did....BECAUSE I wasn't coping with the real problem. And of course when someone STOPS smoking pot we've never learned to really deal with our issues...we've avoided it by drugging ourselves.
Our minds are tricky things. When we like something we'll fool ourselves in order to keep doing it. We'll make up symptoms. We'll rationalize. We'll do whatever it takes. And when we have someone else telling us that it's okay of course we'll defer to them because we want to keep doing it.
But the cold hard fact is that there was no such thing as "medical" marijuana until some enterprising leftists decided to create it as a cause in order to get pot legalized. And it's worked perfectly.
