Come on, now. I know you can read. Here's what you wrote:
Aren't herbs (plants) mentioned in the Holy Bible as being given to us for medicine ?Also those who condemn all consumption of alcohol forget that Jesus Christ Himself changed the water into wine, and Paul recommended a cup of wine for the digestion.
There is nothing wrong in the proper use or consumption of what gifts God has provided ; it is the ABUSE that is the problem.
There are specific and serious warnings in the Scriptures about abusing alcohol while at the same time permitting the proper use of it (most notably, in memory of Christ). There are similar warnings about food and gluttony, but there are no such references to inhaling the smoke of plants as proper use of them, and no such warnings about the abuse of them either.
With all due respect, you are making that up.
That point aside, I still believe that the War On Drugs is nothing more nor less than cynical exercise that is destroying freedom, lives and property without good reason.
For anyone who cares (both of you), I personally have nothing to do with marijuana use or growth, and my alcohol use is miniscule.
It is the attempt to erect so many barriers in deterring abuse that freedom is also caged that disturbs me.
