Thank you so much for that reminder Frank. You are very thoughtful. We have been praying a lot for these kids. (I love the Psalms as well.:)) It is heartbreaking to watch them jumping into the abyss. Their other choices in life have taken a dramatic downturn in a very short period of since they started using and in their quest for their next high. It is like they are checking out of life. They are driving off every descent person that have surrounded them for years. And you can’t reason with them when they are stoned.

I’m passionate about this because I believe there isn’t one benefit to legalizing it. We will just disagree on the legalization aspect because I strongly believe it takes the stigma off using an incredibly harmful chemical compound (THC), legitimizes it and is further destroying the fabric of American society.

One of the reasons I love FR so much is that we are able to come on and debate these things. Like a giant think tank.

Stop looking at it as a drug problem, instead treat it as a spiritual problem — it is the true hole in their hearts that is being filled by bad stuff.

Replace that bad stuff with the light and power of God.

God Bless!

That was precisely the argument of the Temperance movement at the turn of the last century.

And, ironically, they were right. Alcohol has been a scourge on society.

But it has been far less harmful than the fruit of prohibition.
