  1. I think you should look at it from a different light a little bit at least not all of us smokers use it primarily to get" high" for say but whether achieve a higher state of consciousness/ awareness to either contemplate self thoughts regarding God, existence, reality and all that good stuff along with making sense of certain scriptures and Covenants for me I have advanced add and prescribe powerful amphetamines which keep me up for days on end so I would smoke a little pot just to help ease off those side effects along with helping me sleep or calm the mind and nerves if I go through a panic attack I see it more of the medication rather than a drug to get high and that's it and many of us do see it like that or we also could be making self excuses on why we do it

    nevertheless if you could function find and normally without it then you you don't necessarily have a problem

    But if you crave it to the point where you're jumping out of your skin having to have it or couldn't function normally and that you have to have it then that's sort of a problem and I can understand but remember that Jesus also turned water into wine and drink I'm assuming regularly with his guests and disciples does that make him an alcoholic!?

    I wouldn't say so basically what I'm getting at is why can the Son of God who knows all of God's Commandments covered in and will for his creation be committing a sin by drinking or consuming alcohol or even providing it for many people and allow them to drink & partake of it ( allegedly sining?

  2. You are full of crap. I have used marijuana for decades and I can’t tell you the last time that I had to go to see a doctor for health issue because my health has fortunately been outstanding and I believe that this is because of marijuana use. But I bet that you probably go to see a doctor on a regular basis don’t you. I don’t car what neuroscience claims because these neuroscientist are probably in bed with the pharmaceutical industry who will say anything to make profits from their lab generated toxic poisonous prescription medications. Stop being a sheep and think for yourself man.

  3. Alcohol is a literal poison. Before it can be fully metabolized, it converts to a fatal poison (acetaldehyde). Drink too much and you die. Alcohol in moderation is still harmful due to this. No one has ever died from THC poisoning that has been documented.

  4. Weed can be addictive but with proper doses and terpene combinations (entourage effect) it can truly simultaneously help treat several diseases, conditions, and symptoms even if it’s a recreational strain with little to no CBD in it. There are published scientific research studies proving it. Smoking, vaping, or consuming Marihuana doesn’t automatically make someone high. The dose matters just like with coffee, weed, alcohol, and any other drug. In order to be sober minded there must be self control. Smoke in general is harmful, but certain terpene combinations have extremely potent anti-cancer properties among other benefits. Smoking weed is not automatically intoxication in my opinion but I accept that I could be wrong. It depends on the person’s reason behind smoking, their self control, and whether God interprets smoking in general as intoxication or whether intoxication is only in the sense which people typically perceive intoxication in relation to over use of alcohol or tobacco which are addictive but really don’t nearly half as many positive benefits as cannabis according to scientific research, not just my personal research, experience, and opinion. However, due to the lack of specificity in the Bible regarding smoking Marihuana, it’s quite a complex topic. But I must admit that there are quite a few strong arguments against and supporting cannabis use with the use of Bible verses. God bless y’all.

  5. There are some really ignorant comments here!! So you want to get technical read Leviticus about the foods to eat and I’ll bet there’s many that are eating trash foods!! Marijuana is a drug and many people abuse it!!

  6. And although I first really smoked in my late 40's, (and don't know how to roll),

    I specifically asked Father to SHOW ME what HE says about it- and I placed my bible, just anywhere, and my eyes landed in Genesis ch 9:3, & this was God blessing Noah n his Sons after the global flood of water-

  7. In the book of Genesis 9:3, (please read Genesis 9:1-3, it explains that God gave mankind dominion over the animals- ppl hunt, ppl fish etc-

    But it goes on to say in vs 3, Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herb have I (God) given you all things-

  8. For thoes of you who have never smoke weed you cannot judge the
    The have found peace
    The has health in ye heart
    The has health the mind
    Its is the weak minded who sin
    I look for the lord when i smoke i like reading the bible help me get threw genesis🙂 and understaned why he shorted our life span, revelation, Joshua, proverbs lavidacis everything is a sin🫣😂. Thing is dont value anything in this world, all belongs to lucifer. get ready to leave this world and go into the new one and be with the most high❤

  9. Think about the why. Why do I want to do this? Will this glorify God? If I stopped on my own, would it be easy or hard? Approach all things like this. Even food! Try fasting from indulging the flesh, and the Lord will make it clear if something is righteous or not.

  10. okay soo the first half i literally only got a medical answer and not a answer based on biblical terms then i got an answer only to relations that is similar to weed which is drinking, smoking and etc that is harming your body which you just clarified then backed it up with a verse from Corinthians chapter 6 verse 12-20 to justify the answer. i feel like this didn't exactly talked about Marijuana exactly but THINGS/SUBSTANCE that can harm your body instead. We are all different when it comes to body functions and needs. you might call it a drugs cause of recreational but some calls it a way to cope living. (When i mean cope i mean people who Physically and Mentally in need of help).so am i being told in the eyes of heaven those who need weed in order to cope living on earth is going to hell cause they smoked weed? PLEASE GOD ISN'T LIKE THAT ! >. > He is probably way more sensible then all of us in this world…i mean dude he sent his son >.>

  11. Do you drink cup coffee in the morning? You're a drug user you're sinning. Can of Coke at lunch time? You're sinning. Couple Tylenol for that headache in the afternoon that dulls your brain so you don't feel the pain? You're sinning. Are you taking that prescription that can cause harmful side effects to your body? You're sinning. Come on man it's got to stop somewhere. This is nonsense. Can you enjoy some alcohol without being a deadbeat drunk 24/7 and be a functional part of society? Yes. Can you also smoke a little weed and be a functioning responsible part of society without being high 24/7? Yes. I think we've all been lied to for many many years about the effects of marijuana and the stigma behind it and people play the safe card by just throwing blanket statements without actually thinking about what they're talking about.

  12. 1:30 marijuana makes me have focus. I cleaned my house while smoking. I just like to point out I do not encourage people to smoke but to try it if they know self-control. I have control and do not smoke every day. I only smoke on weekends and once I run out I do not buy more for a very long time. Long time for me is like years. I would also like to point out anything can be addictive like soda and scrolling though tiktok. I think this guy has never tried it so he knows nothing about what he is talking about. I smoke and read the Bible and do not forget what I read. My thoughts are is weed bad? no, it isn't bad to try and see how it works but it is bad to use weed like you can't live without it in your life.

  13. As a Christian who used marijuana for a long time starting at 15yo I wholeheartedly disagree with most of this message.
    Marijuana is not a sin and show me in scripture anywhere that it is!
    I've talked to the Holy Spirit about this and the holy spirit led me to scripture that led me to google which led me to discover that archeologists found marijuana on ancient Israeli altars.
    Enough with the demonizing!

  14. Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the plant according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the plant to carry out miraculous

  15. And God (Jehovah) went on to say (to Man): Here I have given to you ALL vegetation bearing seed which is on the surface of the whole earth and every tree on which there is fruit of a tree bearing seed. To YOU (Man) let it serve as FOOD….!!!!

    Marijuana is a plant with many seeds, so God gives us food and Satan makes a law against it….????

    I wonder why…….????

    Is there something Satan doesn't want man to think about……
