Legalize it!
how come marijuna is illegal but tobacoo legal? It cant be because of the health impact, because thats exactly the other way round-there has never been a fatality from marijuna use among 60 million reported users in the United States, where'as tobaco kills hundreds of thousands of people each year. My strong suspicion, though I dont know how to prove it, is that the reason is that marijunas a weed, you can grow it in your backyard, so there,s nobody who would make any money out of it if it were legal. Tobacco requires extensive capitial imputs and technology, and it can be momopolized, so there are people who can make a ton of money off it. I dont really see any other difference between the two of them, frankly-except that tobacco's far more lethal and far more addictive

Ezekiel 47:12 said:And by the river, upon its bank, on the one side and on the other, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, nor their fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, for its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing.
Revelation 22:2 said:On either side of the river, midway between it and the main street of the city, was the Tree of Life. It produced twelve kinds of fruit, yielding a fresh crop month by month, and the leaves of the tree served as medicine for the nations
marijuana could not cure leprosy, they have tried it in countries where it is legalized and leprosy is still there, and it doesn't work. how do you explain the healing of the ten lepers, and the longrange healing of the nobleman's child? these could not have been done by herbs.Rentonboyo said:I believe jesus not only cured using marijuana, but through the twisting of his teachings we (society) have de-legalized marijuana because of the damage that could be done to the christian faith because of the revelation that yes, he may have cured using marijuana.

the fact is, if you wish to argue that Jesus healed using cannabis, you must accept that he healed at all. so, now we are back to my original questionThe Real McCoy said:Just because someone cannot cure cancer with antiobiotics doesn't mean they never used penecillin to cure an illness.
And I feel no need to explain miraculous healings that I have never seen take place.
you will know, when the moment is right. lets just put it this way, evolutionists won't like me after I reveal them step, by step, weaving an impenetrable case that has supports for its supports. you not only have to dig through one layer of evidence, but at least two before you get to the meat. I titled it, "the self=sustaining argument" because it can sustain itself. just refer to it for the rebuttal of the rebuttal for the last one, and get this, there are at least three other sources that I will have. thats all for now, cya when the time is right. :turns and skips merrily out the door:What are your arguments and who are your opponents?

but what about the fact that Cannabis can't survive in the desert regions of Israel. and the fact that it is not native to that country.The Real McCoy said:I don't doubt that he healed NATURALLY (quite possibly with cannabis) but there's a difference between that and miraculous, unexplainable healings.
When the moment is right? Why not now?
Ah. I see. A creationist.
Question: I believe God created the universe through evolution so what does that make me?
wrong debate, too far off topic, this part of my response is already WAY off-topic.Then go for it, champ. Usher any/all arguments into the slaughterhouse of logic.
seeds and residue in Israel and producing areas in Lebanon don't prove anything. Jesus only went to Lebanon once in his travels, after most of his healings took place. since everywhere he went, he was followed, he couldn't have gotten it without someone noticing it. when did he get it? where is he in a place where they would give him this drug? there hasn't been any significant growth of cannabis in Israel proper. Lebanon and Israel are still two seperate countries, andthey have different climates, while some of the areas of Lebanon are fertile enough for cannabis growth, this is not true for Israel. the salt in the Jordan River would have made the makeup of the soil near it unfavorable for cannabis growth, ruling out the only possible area where it could even be favorable climatewise.CaliNORML said:but what about the fact that Cannabis can't survive in the desert regions of Israel. and the fact that it is not native to that country.
Arrrrrrr?
Lebabnon was one of the MAJOR producers of Cannabis up until the the war of the 1960's.
The oldest evidence of Cannabis use was discovered in Isreal in the a tomb of a young mother and her child, both died in childbirth.
ANCIENT MARIJUANA
APn 05/19/93
NEW YORK (AP) -- Ashes from a fourth-century tomb near Jerusalem suggest that marijuana plants may have been used in the ancient Middle East to help childbirth, researchers say.
The tomb contained the remains of a teen-ager who apparently died while giving birth, or during the last stages of pregnancy.
Analysis indicated that ashes found with the skeleton came from cannabis, the marijuana plant. Apparently, cannabis was burned for use as an inhalant to aid childbirth, researchers said, noting that a 19th-century medical publication said it strengthened contractions while reducing labor pain.
Medicinal use of cannabis was recorded in Egypt in the 16th century B.C., the Israeli scientists said in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.
Seeds of Cannabis Sativa have been found in tombs all over Europe, China, Indo-Asia, and the Middle East dating from the first discoveries of any human remains found. Where we find humans, we find Cannabis, be it in art, clothes, or remains they left behind.
"The Bog" people of the Celtic region were found with Cannabis seeds in their pockets as well. It will grow anywhere.
Human camps from ancient history show is Cannabis Sativa was around humans since the Paleolithic Era. Or we were around it for all the benifits it provided us.
