  1. It's definitely good for anxiety especially from head injuries. However what i DO NOT do is idolize it. I don't worship it with weed posters and T-shirts or think to myself that it solves all of my problems All of of my problems are solved by the Lord Jesus. Cannabis is just a tool that that the loard has given us like anything else. It's up to us to use it for good purposes. If we use something for bad purposes then that's the problem. Cannabis is like any other object. You can use a rock for something good or something bad. Just don't idolize it. 💯🔥🙏💪👊

  2. I don't intoxicate from it but I've been through alot of trauma, anxiety, depression, insomnia, my parents divorced, people passing ect, i use it in more of a medicine than a vice

  3. Medical marijuana can be micro-dosed, which is what I do. When I micro-dose, I am still very sober minded but relaxed and not in pain. If you go in educated on the plant and use proper dosages, you will not get high off of your butt. Please educate yourself before you try to give your opinion, especially when you’re giving misleading and/or completely false information.

  4. How are we using the word dependance. Dependency on marijuana is physically limited to psychological dependance, and NOT chemical dependance. It is not a drug that causes you to become chemically addicted like alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, opioids and so forth.

    Being PHYSICALLY "addicted" to it because it is the only type of medication that works for your body for your specific ailments is a completely different topic.

    The respiratory negatives of marijuana are limited to smoking it, not VAPING it or EATING it.

    I think it is good that you differentiate between medical and recreational, as the Bible differentiates between medical and recreational use of alcohol, and yes, BOTH are in the scripture.

    Intoxication: Stupefication: Made Stupid By are not terms I would use to describe medical marijuana use. Typically medical marijuana users benefit from somewhere around 2.5 – 40 milligrams of thc. In my specific case, compare that with the 100mg of Trazodone or the 50mg of amatriptyline required to put me to sleep at night and relax me of my PTSD, each of which carry their own individual side effects, many of which are MUCH more severe than the munchies, giggles, and potential (overdose) paranoia associated with marijuana use. For those medical user who are up much higher than that due to pain or whatever from a serious illness like cancer or whatever, the issue then becomes quality of life.

    The Scripture specifically warns of using alcohol and drugs for the purposes of having an enhanced spiritual experience with demons. THAT is what is called "sorcery" in the scripture.

  5. I actually have more focus on God now and understand the word better now since I have came off so, so ,many man made medication's of which I've nearly died from years ago. I was on Fentanyl for pain , prescribed, but I overdosed because of the stupor it causes. My walk with God is different, everyone has to be responsible for their own soul and salvation. While pharmaceutical medications are killing people,many people each day ,we that choose a natural herb are criticized . I know when I smoke I have relief from PTSD symptoms and chronic pain from fibromyalgia and I can concentrate better. The truth is not EVERYTHING IS FOR EVERYONE but judge not lest ye be judged. I'm responsible with it and I don't overdo it. We are all different so I'm not saying it's for everyone but those we truly use it for medicinal purposes, I don't understand how this is called a sin when people taking " pills " it's ok. I never smoked much until about 5 years ago but I didn't have the problems I have now. I also am trying to grow passion flower for pain and other purposes. I hide it from no one. I don't use it as a crutch . It just gives me some relief from pain and anxiety. As with anything, you don't want to use too much. I use CBD as well but it doesn't help much for insomnia. 🌺🌼🌿

  6. she asked him about medical marijuana and then he turned right around and asked her if she was talking about medical marijuana? huh? The lady was extremely clear in how she asked her question how did he get so confused?

  7. I caught COVID I been feeling like crap for 4 days on top of that the lord has called me NOT TO SMOKE !!! Baby I hit the joint 4 times I feel like a brand new being . I feel so much better !!! I’m neither convicted for smoking . The first time I caught COVID I was an active smoker I was sick maybe 1 day however this time has been rough!!!!!

  8. A lot of pastors just side with big pharma and call marijuana “dangerous”
    What’s dangerous is all the medications and opioids they get people hooked on. I have a spinal cord injury I’m paralyzed it’s the only thing that touches the pain. 🙁

  9. how about god isn't real and neither is what the bible says, and you literally cannot prove that he is. so why should anybody care what he or his dumb religion has to say about someone's need for medicine.

  10. I personally don't see a problem with it Christians use morphine which has worse side effects after surgery if both are prescribed by a doctor and you said prescribed I am fine

  11. Im a Christian and I have my medical card for my PTSD and nerve damage I don't get high to get high I use it for my pain marijuana is all natural and not man made like pills that can kill you and make you hooked there has not been one death in marijuana you use is in little amounts not over do it I've been sober off narcotics and benzos for 9 years now thanks for medical marijuana

  12. Gee–what if the pharmaceutical companies produce a pill solidified of medicinal marijuana….then would it be okay–like ingesting opoids? I mean, the Bible mentions wine, enjoy the fruit of your labor, don't get drunk but you can drink, so what not with medicinal MJ? guess then it would because it seems like favoritism lies on the pill usage vs natural remedies when it comes to us Christians trying to justify their judgement on others who would rather not drink or use pills. That just seems like the devil's work to me. BTW–being sober-minded is spiritual in the Bible and not the ingestion of substances that it pertains to as you mention. Drinking alcohol makes one inebriated until the next day–hence, the hangover. At least, with MM, you can eat your high away and most people in pain, love that they can eat again.

  13. How can you say that the drugs we take on a daily basis and antidepressants antipsychotics do you know that is formed in a laboratory how are they safer than marijuana when it's a natural substance that you don't have to come up with the formula that makes you gain weight and cause diabetes and overeating there's different strains they don't cause you to overeat but medicine nowadays does causes men to get breast from taking medicine in the medicines we take on a daily basis causes weight gain and have you the whole water in your system to make you gain weight

  14. Don't eat candy or any sweets or chocolate cake if you want to criticize somebody smoking a cigarette or smoking weed you got another thing coming cuz neither of them are good for you but the same time you don't know what thing blame others why don't go to church you are hypocrites

  15. I am a Christian. I also sat in front of a computer for 40+ years pounding a keyboard to make a living. The ramification is my shoulders fell apart and left me in excruciating pain. I refuse to use the opioids that big pharma dole out, they have killed people, so I got a medical MJ card, and I am now out of pain, able to sleep much better, which was a terrible problem for me before, and feeling 100% better. I think my healing was part Jesus and part the antiinflammatory properties of the herb. If we are to remain "sober minded" according to the Bible, then why cant one use the Indica strain. It will leave you sober minded, and you won't get a "high", so hopefully that is more acceptable with being a Christian, because for me it is a life-altering herb.

  16. It is not what goes into a man that defiles him but what comes out of the mouth. For even King David and his men did eat the shewbread which is unlawful, yet King David is a man after God's heart and considered a pillar of faith. What comes out of the mouth is from the treasures of the heart. Therefore God judges the hearts and minds of men , looking to and fro thru the Earth for ones to bless and show Himself strong for. He Loves us abundantly more than we could possiblely concieve. Now is the time to grow your faith. See you in the clouds

  17. Something to think about is our bodies produce cannabinoids. I personally don’t use it, but I know of others that do, for medical use for anxiety and cancer, and there appears to be no dependence upon it. Not like others I have seen in my life get strung out on oxy or percocet.

  18. Pretty sure those negative effects aren't all "fleshed out" I have read much more positive to negative health benefits compared to all I have ever received from the pharmacy

  19. Hank, sadly you don't really know the effects of medical cannabis. Memory loss is from over dosing. My mind needs micro-dosing. Some strains make me focus or take my nausea away so I can eat. If i eat the leaves, it's a gut health. Again, knowing your strains and what exactly your issues are give the tender a dose or a particular plan of action. Even the roots can be used as vitamins. The whole plant even knows it has carcinogenic chemicals so it made a anti-carcinogenic component to counter that. Very smart. So smart it has the cure to cancer potentially.
