OPINION ON MARIJUANA IN THE BIBLE

Anti-marijuana fanatics have many opinions as to why marijuana is
and should be illegal. One of which is so commonly used in the South
but is hardly, if ever argued against and that is
the Christian/Biblical view. Well, I have a theory or my own
opinion on marijuana in the Bible. First, keep in mind it was God
and not man who put marijuana on this planet in the first place.

In Genesis 29-30 it is stated that God has given every green herb
and herb bearing seed for the use and benefit of mankind as well as
every animal on the Earth. God clearly told Adam to make use of
anything he wished in the garden except for that one specific
tree. If marijuana was here for the use of Adam before sin then
wouldn't the plant be fine if used in moderation similar to the way
wine is acceptable in moderation in the Bible?

Wine is man made, even more dangerous in mass quantities compared to
marijuana has nowhere near the uses other than consumption that
marijuana has. Given that and the fact that marijuana is indeed
green and an herb, I think it should start to be respected as it was
placed here by someone far more wise than you or I could ever attempt to be.
