There is nothing in the bible about cannabis. It's possible it was mentioned as a food, a sacrament and an incense used in fumigation in both bible and Torah. It's not clear though, they are just making educated guesses that the plant being referred to in these cases were marijuiana.
There were many instances in the bible about drinking wine, and how it can be good.
Alcohol is not a medicine, it is not a food. It is a recreational drug and it is harmful in some cases. In bible days, they didn't have large heavy machinery including cars; so there's 3/4 of the "harm to others" alcohol causes. They had violence though. And barfights.
So you, who profess to know the bible, actually doesn't know anything about it if you think it's a 'Sin' to take recreational drugs, because the bible tells you recreational drugs are ok, esp if they contribute to the fellowship of man and happiness. And in some cases, used in ritual
One thing is for sure: Muslim assassins smoked weed before they went on a hit job, because it removed their inhibitions and made them focus on the goal so hard that they couldn't be persuaded not to carry out the deed no matter what. That's where the name "hashish" came from. Hash, hashish, hashashin (assassin).
So it definitely does something to temporarily "harden your heart", which doesn't sound like a good idea. Sure, if your goal is truly righteous, being fully committed to it would be a good thing. But what if you're in the wrong? You will get high and lock in, regardless. Someone once told me something that I've never forgotten:
Weed amplifies the heart; whatever's in your heart before you smoke will be boosted, and you'll be locked in that state until the high is over.
We know what the Bible says about the heart of man, that it is "desperately wicked"... now, whether this translates over into amplifying a believer's NEW "heart of flesh" is up for debate....or does it merely amplify the dead carnal "heart of stone" that we had before coming to faith in Christ?...
I'd say people who get anxious when they smoke already have concerns in their heart, and those amplify. Conversely, those who it relaxes probably have contentment in their heart, and whether or not that contentment is justified, IE they're not just comfortably oblivious to things that should concern them, determines whether that state is a good thing to be locked into for a few hours..
In what feels like a previous life I actually believed in kane bosm first and then I was introduced to the miracle of the gospel that way.
A lot of repentance and acceptance brought me here, and the residual effect, a desire for mass repentance and living a life that is free to have coincidences, is what remains.
This is suggestible to the dark agendas of countless groups that began quietly attaching themselves to this movement.
CONnabis is not an innocent, positive celebration of life as it's leaders insist. It is NOT about recycling cans and bottles or "going green". Radical feminists use it to to promote infanticide or remaining childless altogether to protect the air we breathe. And don't get me started on the marajuana advocates ..... Cannabis is a pothead's dream.
Atheists, false religions, and apostate Christians embrace this day because they need something--ANYTHING-- to fill the vacuum in their empty hearts. Satan is always more than willing to oblige.
