1 | Is medicinal Marijuana a sin? | Bible general Archive 4 | mewmewpanda | 238588 | ||
Is using Marijuana as a source of alternative medicine a sin? Since the 5th grade until my senior year of high school I struggled with two major longterm health conditions. The first was IBS that crippled me on many levels throughout my life causing me extreme pain and discomfort each and every day. The second was my fibrocystic breast disease that showed up when I was 17 which left me with debilitating PMS due to unbalanced hormone levels. I had tried for years to combat both diseases with a multitude of every natural cure I could research and come across. I had been to several doctors about both conditions and was never given any remedy. After I went to college I experimented with Marijuana, originally for recreation. As it followed however for the first time since I was 12 my IBS went away completely. When I had terrible emotional PMS I would smoke and be relieved of all the anger and psychotic outbursts that came with extremely high levels of estrogen. I love the Lord and I don't live in a state where it is legal and so I know it would be considered a sin and have tried to stop a couple times. As soon as a few days go by, the symptoms for my IBS return and I feel miserable all over again. It is beyond debilitating and I my whole life revolved around what times people wouldn't be home so I could visit the restroom because I would literally have massive amounts of gas,bloating,swelling at all times of the day to the point of extreme pain and constant agitation making me a very terrible person to be around. I researched that Weed has CBD, a chemical that stops seizures which is what happens in the intestines of someone with IBS. IBS Medical prescriptions are faulty and often don't work as each person with Chronic IBS has varying and different symptoms. I'm also opiate intolerant and can't take pain medications for my problems. The weed also stabilizes my emotions when I'm having serious bouts of PMS when it comes to a certain time of the month and I find myself feeling not intoxicated but normal. Weed does not inhibit my wanting to praise Christ, nor to cause me to partake in unholy behavior. Prescriptions are abusive to the body more so than Marijuana so I'm having a hard time understanding people's argument for not destroying my body (God's temple)by smoking weed occasionally when I understand first hand how terrible pain medication and other prescriptions with synthetic chemicals are to the body. (In fact they are much worse)I don't want to use it recreationally anymore because at one point it was a constant mental crutch. I only want to consume it when my symptoms arrive so that I can be bearable to be around. My mother is also a Christian and told me I have her blessing because she's seen how these two diseases have crippled me for a long majority of my life. I'm in a dilemma because I don't know whether Christ wants me to suffer or not. I want to suffer for Him but If I do, I'm not able to help others around me because of my self consuming condition and the state they leave me in. If I make myself better with the natural medication only when I need it, I feel much better because for a few days my symptoms totally disappear but I feel guilty because It is not legal where I live and I don't want to break God's law in that sense. I also should mention, I smoke by myself and tend not to want to with others because I don't want to set that type of example for those who do it for simple recreation. I don't want to lead anyone astray but so far this is the only solution to my physical ailments that keep me from using my body to serve God. I have prayed about the situation but have gotten many mixed responses. I don't think God wants me to suffer and I can't move to a state where it is legal so I'm really torn as I don't want to hurt God with my behavior either way. |

Have you talked with your pastor? You need to. The question you asked is worded more as a justification rather than open question. The decision is between you and God but you need someone with accountability both to you and God to help guide you to that answer. I would recommend you sit down with your pastor and discuss this issue. Have you discussed it with your doctor. I know you said you did internet searches on the effects of Marijuana but have you had a medical expert tell you the full story. The fact that marijuana is natural does not mean much. Arsenic and Mercury are natural and they both destroy the body. Tobacco is natural and it is the leading cause of lung disease. Please talk to both your pastor and your doctor. |
