God's perfect plant given to man?

"CANNABIS"

What do you believe?

Just for the record, I do not use any sort of plant or alcohol that alters my senses. Just wanted to see where our mind set is.

I compare being high on weed to drunkenness. The bible warns that being a drunkard is damnable. I believe that while drunk communion with God is hindered.

So do you consider God's plant evil? Yet drugs(medications) with plants and man made chemicals MIXED in them GOOD?

Gen 1:11-12
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
KJV
Gen 1:29-31
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
KJV

My question was is it evil? Is it not a crime to have it or grow it, by man calling it evil and against the law?

But I ask, Do you doubt God's Word when He says every green herb bearing seed is for us and for meat?
Gen 1:29-31

Meat does not have to mean that we have to smoke or use it for meals but that it serves a purpose for us such as healing.
The Word being the Wisdom of God is the Tree of life and the... Jesus is that Word of life for we are told that his body is MEAT for us he is the True Vine the great Physician that heals us, yet hopefully we understand he is not talking about cannibalism, but it is for MEDICINAL purposes for the Word of God is healing to our bones and health to all our flesh. That is why when Adam supposedly ate the apple and did to the Spirit, the Word of Life(Tree of Life)was then hidden from him hence the saying An apple a DAY keeps the DOCTOR away. The Word doctor in the Greek means Rabbi, Teacher of the Law and God told Adam the DAY you eat of that tree of G & E to be god without me.. is the DAY you shall die! Adam lived just under 1,000yrs because a DAY of God's is 1,000yrs and our health has been declining ever since. But when the end of the age had come... God sent His Word to become flesh and feed us the Meat of the Word again.. the very Word of Life.

Ps 107:18
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
KJV
John 6:56
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
KJV
Prov 4:20-22
20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
KJV
Prov 4:20-22
20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
KJV
Prov 3:13-22
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
KJV
Rev 22:1-2
22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
KJV
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem... in your life Wisdom shall show you the Way the Truth and the Life!

God put natural pain remedies into nature, problems begin when people use them for pains of the soul not of the body.

No "thing" can be evil or good, it simply exists. We can use a "thing" for purposes that are evil or good. But an object has zero inherent morality whatsoever.

I am of the opinion that it is what you do with something that makes it a sin.
That includes money. Money isn't the issue, but the love of money is.
I don't think that alcohol is bad, but once you start abusing it or using it as an outlet or escape, then it becomes negative.
And no, I don't drink or smoke pot so I am not looking to justify my habits.

My non-Medical self that there are uses for Medicinal Marijuana, but I also think that it is being abuses on a grand scale and that the majority of them smoking it are smoking it for no other reason than they wish to get high.

I have read several studies that show that marijuana is a gateway drug, which I tend to believe. Those pushing the hardest to make other drugs legal are the ones already using marijuana.

Addiction is gluttony + idolatry. It is a really effective way to rob your life of transformation and redemption. I do not know many people who smoke pot without becoming emotionally reliant on it - not sure why anyone who want to risk emotional addiction and cancer for fun - without the intention of turning to alcohol or drugs in order to escape some negative feeling they are experiencing
