1 | Why is marijuana use prohibited? | Heb 13:17 | Morant61 | 68140 | ||
Greetings Jini! I've already seen that several people have responded quite well with Scripture to the position you have taken. So, I will not add to their comments from Scripture, but I would like to speak from my own experiences. My wife and I have been through a living hell over the last four years. Our daughter has been a chronic runaway since she was 14 years old, and has been mixed up with illegal drugs. She started with pot, and now she has moved up to crack cocaine. Let me tell you what drugs do to a person: 1) She has dropped out of school. 2) She has had very little contact with her family in four years. 3) She is in a relationship with an older man who beats her. 4) She was using drugs the day our first grandbaby was born. 5) She has lost custody of her baby. 6) My wife and I are now the legal guardians of her baby. 7) She has been gone for the last two weeks and hasn't even been around to see her 1 1/2 month baby. I'm trying very hard to be polite, but let me state this as strongly as possible - Drugs destroy peoples lives. There is a reason why they are illegal. They are not fun! They are not harmless! I've heard all of the justifications and excuses, but the reality is that drugs destroy people. And, it's not just my daughter. I have seen countless examples over the years. I know that I will always stand opposed to any position which tries to legalize drugs, or cover up the destructive effects of them. So, for everyone reading this thread, please don't buy into the argument that drugs are harmless and misunderstood! :-( Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Blessings, Tim - I'll be praying for your daughter and you and your wife. Don't ever let anyone buy into the argument that pot doesn't lead to other drugs, either. I know. If you are around people that use pot, you eventually will come into contact with the other stuff. It isn't hurting them (yeah, right) so it is OK for me. Etc. Etc. Just keeps getting deeper and deeper. My heart goes out to you, and to anyone that has to deal with the problem. Debbie |
