Bible Note: I appreciate your view point. I also appreciate your illustration. Just as one should not drink and drive a preson should not drive under the influence of medications that have the ability of altering perception at high doses. A person can regulate the amount they ingest, inhale or digest. Pot has a bigger stigma on it than needs to be. The bad rap is from those who have had a prejudice towards it based on people who have abused it. In low doses , for some individuals, THC is very beneficial. Just as doctors prescribe medicine such as Paxil and Prozac for clinical depression.. Yes Christians can and do get clinically depressed and it is not because they are not seeking God or have unconfessed sin. Ultimately it is sin that has caused all disease and chemical imbalances. I view pot as a safer altenative to these other harmful man made drugs. I was on Ritalin and Adoral when I was a child . My grandma got me off of it because of its harmful side affects. As a adult and having had sufficient enough experience , both possitive and negative, in the area of pot use, I can see the benefit of this herb when used wisely and in small doses, through eating it instaed of smoking.
