BIBLE STUDY TIME

I am sympathetic to your views on marijuana, but, in your attempt to
rely on the insights of the Bible to make your point, you have gotten
your facts wrong. When the biblical God spoke of herbs, he was
talking mainly about things like cinnamon, chicory, cooking herbs and
so on. He was not referring to cannabis sativa.

Check out these scriptures before discussing the Christian
perspective on the regular use of marijuana: Genesis, 3:18; Numbers,
11: 18; Luke, 9:23-25; Galatians, 5:19-21 and Ephesians, 5:13.

And then there is the issue of heroin, or opiates in general, which
our pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies push as an antidote for
physical pain. Is that not a classification of drugs that is highly
addictive? Trying to make arguments without having done adequate
research is absurd. Get to know the Bible and its viewpoints before
citing it as a source when making an argument.
