Pot Smoking Radicals Are Using the Internet to Turn America Into a Socialist Sex Utopia

One of the most disturbing aspects of Barack Obama’s ascension to the Oval Office is that this nation is now formally turning a blind eye to marijuana abuse among our young people. Legalization is no longer a philosophical question. It’s happening in our very communities. Unscrupulous doctors are even prescribing the street drug as some sort of “miracle cure.” They bastardize health studies and local legislative mandates to sell the deadly weed and no police force is stopping them.

Yet marijuana still remains a controlled substance that violates federal narcotics laws. It is a well-known component in violent crime, the mafia, street gangs, murder, foreign socialist governments and the skyrocketing number of illegal aliens entering this country. On the home front, it quite simply destroys lives. As “pot” travels from inner city ghettos to quiet American communities, it finances the worst sorts of criminal hedonists who prey on children. Once in a young person’s hands, the drug wrecks hopes and dreams. It crushes one’s mental development and makes a person incapable of hard work. Our youth addicts lack the ability to face complex problems and lose all interest in physical exercise. It is a gateway to a life deferred, desperate and alone.

The Bible warns us, “Cast off the works of darkness, walk properly, not in drunkenness. Make no provision to fulfill the lusts of the flesh” (Romans 13:12-14). This is vital for a moral life because of the persistent threat of Satan and sin. “Be sober so we can be on guard for the devil, resist him, and not be devoured by him. Realizing how dangerous Satan is, we should keep our minds clear so we can recognize his deceit and resist his temptations” (1 Peter 5:8-9). What drugs like marijuana do is that they lead us into worshipping our bodies and our temporary emotions more than serving our Lord and appreciating His glory. God is very clear on the danger of indulgence and the tremendous health and spiritual risks of marijuana perfectly exemplify His wisdom on this matter.

Yet young people will do anything for this grungy skanky weed. They will lie and cheat. They will steal car stereos or trade their delicate, yearning bodies to bearded ex-cons. They will flirt with biker gangs or cruise skid row. And once they grab hold of a bag of this deadly drug, they become paranoid and greedy, often turning to violence to knock off their fellow addicts so they will have more for themselves. To do their smoking, teens and 20-somethings seek out the very places that a serial killer would likely prowl– empty parking lots and abandoned buildings. Just imagine your kids falling asleep, knocked out on drugs, as unknown pedophiles watch from nearby bushes… Or else they lock themselves behind dead bolts in rundown railroad flats, heavy blankets covering the windows and the phone permanently off the hook to avoid calls from Mom.

Toking, sucking, chuffing…. These are all words to describe a pot lover gulping down that acrid yellow smoke deep into his lungs. The sensation that comes almost immediately is one of pain and trauma but the addict likes the punishment, he lives for the punishment! He will hallucinate shadowed monsters on the walls, the sound of rabid dogs scratching at his door. Maybe his hand will fall off or the television will speak to him like Satan in this putrid delusion. The mind is thus released from any moral boundaries and sex naturally ensues. Paganistic, hedonistic orgies of lust perversion where no hole is left unviolated. The thrill of sadomasochistic carnal insanity is the great addiction of the toker. Penetrating each other for days, slobbering like wolves gorging on a carcass, the stain of their fluids on every wall will grow tacky before the hippie party ends. They will return to this again and again until they no longer know what sex is, what decency is, what America is. Or else they release themselves through constant, violent masturbation. Yes, self-gratification is a chronic disease of the weed wanton. Trapped in a world where only the hand and the genitalia exist, neither hurricanes nor death can unlock the grasp of the marijuana masturbator before it’s time.

Maybe it should come as no surprise that Obama is advocating for this sort of lifestyle. The New York Times is on board. In a recent article entitled, “New Fuel for Local Papers: Medical Marijuana Ads,” the paper gave the liberal stamp of approval for pot use, making it sound as if it’s the key to economic recovery. Other media organizations are celebrating the socialistic side of drugs as well, from The Colorado Springs Independent to The Orange County Weekly. Abandoning any question of faith or Christianity, reporters at these papers delight in posting shots of big gobs of green-brown buds. In close-ups, the drug has a decidedly evil look. When you think of a banana or a piece of apple pie, there’s something wholesome about that image. They are beautiful and glorious things that you want to eat, knowing that God Himself has provided them for us to delight in! Yet that menacing nasty, pungent reefer weed repulses and frightens. It is the excrement of the devil, sticky and rusty like a brillo-pad that you find at the bottom of a junkyard toilet. It’s there, ready to clog the pipes of your brain with the worst nightmares imaginable– anal violation that does not relent, bare acres of bosoms that suffocate, jack-booted thugs spitting on your face…

Today, these pot-addled hellbound haters of life and liberty are gathering strength in the dark shadows of the internet. No sunlight on their pale, pimpled flesh is needed for them demand changing laws and changing America. They work themselves into frenzies of hostility and mania on their childishly designed message boards and blogs with names like “Grasscity” or “Concept 420” or “Pot Smokers Net.” And then they simply click and donate from their secret opium dens. Their goals are clearly in line with the worst socialist treasons of Chavez and Lenin. Welfare, of course, is on the top of their lists. How else could they support their pathetic, unemployed lifestyles of sitting around the couch all day watching cartoons and Stephen Colbert? Secondly, they want free health care and demand that it include “medical marijuana”. Thirdly, illegal aliens, for it is these very people who are their drug mules delivering dirty baggies of damnation on sweaty bicycles right to their front doors. More broadly, the pot addict advocates for sexual freedom, including the decriminalization of sodomy, polygamy and bestiality. The sum total of these repressible and outrageously dangerous activities is mind-boggling

How can we let this happen in the United States of America? This was once a great, no an INCREDIBLE country! We were the leaders of the free world. We led in FREEDOM and RIGHTEOUSNESS! And now that is being thrown away so our kids can enjoy their reefer kicks in broken down cars in factory parking lots. God and Country have been sacrificed because our young people would rather hang out on the couch, changing the channel from Christ to cartoons, stripping down to their dirty jockstraps and unclasping corpulent bras so they can grope each other in stoned fantasy lands of “free love” fetish play where every finger finds a hole, every mouth finds a nipple. God forbid our enemies invade, they would discover our hearty children fornicating in every corner of this country, drugged out of their minds, bare behinds in the wind… And knowing the lusty and immoral cravings of those swarthy barbarians, they would most likely jump right in and ride our young heathens off into the sunset of America’s greatness, slapping and howling to Allah all the way.

      Laugh if you dare, but look closely at the third photograph accompanying this article and you will see with your own eyes that marijuana use causes something even more evil than all the evils described in this article — THE READING OF BOOKS!

      One of the lost souls in the foreground is desperately clutching a book! An evildoer in the background is actually reading a book!

      Make no mistake about it — satisfying intellectual curiosity is far worse than satisfying carnal desires of the flesh! There is no greater SIN AGAINST GOD!

      • Satisfying intellectual curiosity is no sin against god, you won’t find a single passage in the Bible saying that men can’t learn math, chemistry, philosophy or physics. It is inherent in human to desire to discover. If god made everything in such a diverse way and complexity, it was not by chance, but for the rejoicing of men.

      Firstly I will admit that I used to smoke weed though I never ever became any of the scary stories you describe here. The real point I leave this message though is because of you advertisements for disgusting fast foods. Meat is murder! God did not put animals on this earth for people to cruelly cram them into factory farms, whilst sadistic diabolical “men” beat them until the day they are slaughtered and put onto the shelves of supermarkets. Then the general public are feeding themselves with the misery, fear and pain of these animals and wondering why their prayers are not being answered. Weed in your opinion is the devils work….well so is the unnecessary cruelty to animals. The world has declined in the passed forty years for huge economies to grow, two percent of the population of the world have all of the money (they made whilst contributing to global warming and the destruction of our planet). So why are you even discussing the hippies who are demonstrating a revolt against it all? What difference does it make that they are not contributing to a system that has not only failed them, but failed the whole planet. Much love

    • Deadly drug right, lets just take a thought about that , no one has ever been died due to marijuana, do you know how many people die due to alcohol and cigarette’s ?

      No you clearly don’t because you haven’t done the research you don’t have a shred of scientific evidence and guess what marijuana users do.

      Annual deaths related to firearms in the United States: 29,000. Annual deaths related to prescription drugs: 32,000. Annual deaths related to alcohol: 85,000. Related to tobacco: 435,000. Marijuana? 0. Not a single case of death ever recorded in the United States, or even the world has been attributed to the use of marijuana. But there must be a reason for it’s prohibition and criminalization, correct?

      One thing that most people believe is that marijuana kills brain cells, which is in fact, a myth. “The original basis of this claim was a report that, upon postmortem examinations, structural changes in several brain regions were found in two rhesus monkeys exposed to THC. Because these changes primarily involved the hippocampus, a cortical brain region known to play an important role in learning and memory, this finding suggested possible negative consequences for human marijuana users.” “In the most recently published study, rhesus monkeys were exposed through face-mask inhalation to the smoke equivalent of four to five joints per day for one year. When sacrificed seven months later, there was no observed alteration of hippocampal architecture, cell size, cell number, or synaptic configuration”

      So it’s not addictive it doesn’t even kill brain cells, tobacco and alcohol do.

      It’s actual’y amusing reading through little articles like yours you expect people to just listen and agree with you without doing research do think people are stupid well you clearly do if you think there going to buy this.

      Marijuana has 1000′s of industrial uses and 100′s of known and PROVED medicinal factors it slows cancer cells down it is hugely used for people with aids, Ms, speech problems.

      And the part of you article that said it makes our children flirt with biker gangs well your just making that up.

      So next time you want to post a BS article do some research so you don’t come across so stupid because even one person could just google marijuana and prove you wrong

      Be very careful how you represent G-d’s word. We will be held accountable on judgement day for how we have represented his word. I find folks using his word for their own gain. People: Make sure when someone uses G-d’s word to say something is good or something is bad,and only places parts and pieces of the scripture in support of their position, that YOU pick up the Book and read the actual scripture for yourself so that you may understand the context in which was writtten and how a person is twisting it to support THEIR opinion. This is extremely important so that you may indeed WEED the Wolves in Sheep’s clothing from the sheep. Mr. Billings, I must disagree with your use of scriptural representation in this matter. I believe you to be Wrong in this matter and my thinking is based on G-d’s word in HIS scripture.

  • Stevie, I gotta say, I am impressed. It took you half a blog post to start bitching and whining, which is one hell of an accomplishment, and for that, I applaud you. Outside of the typical attempts to link things you don’t like together, this is not that bad of an article. I award you three claps out of 10 (consider it an achievement, only one or two other blogs got so much as a clap-consideration, and the number of claps is low based on how long it took for you to turn this into a bitch about Obama and that you picked a relatively easy target). I’m a man of my word and I stated several times in the past that if you did good, I’d let you know.

    Now it’s time to play devil’s advocate and debate (yes, debate, not prove how utterly wrong you are) about pot. Outside of saying that Obama and co. are trying to legalize it to turn America into some kind of fake utopia you made up in your head, and how it leads to massive masturbation, this has actual facts. However, many of these facts are actually subjective in their content. Yes, marijuana is harmful, but not in the sense everyone thinks. Marijuana by itself is no different than alcohol and is even safer than cigarettes; rather, it’s the people behind it that are harmful, due to it’s illegality and how people have a tendency to do things they’re NOT supposed to (seriously, compare the number of people who drink or smoke before they’re of age and those who started after they were of legal age, or even the amount of use between the two), drugs fetch a high price on the black market. It’s the war involving drugs that’s causing all the harm when it comes to pot itself.

    The sad part is, there’s no real solution. While for awhile I wondered what would happen of pot was legalized, I’ve come to the conclusion that someone will take something else that’s illegal and actually harmful by itself and let that fill in the lost gap. Hell, even if ALL illegal drugs where legalized to minors, there’d still be illegal activity, every other activity would sky-rocket which could end terribly, so when it comes to the legalization of marijuana, I just step out of the discussion entirely. I could be right, or I could be wrong, so there’s no real way to determine the outcome properly. Everyone can say that they have the answer to the problem, but the actual question isn’t being asked, and no one could possibly have the answer to it unless they somehow can change the minds of every single person on the planet with no effort.

    • I’m not sure I understand all the hostility and arrogance. Are you threatened because I attacked a drug to which you are addicted? I realize abandoning something you’ve committed so much of your life to is difficult, but it’s vital for your health. Drugs are incredibly damaging to your heart and lungs. They also corrode your brain.

      Furthermore, you are seriously putting your spirit at risk. Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior? If you’re a Christian, you must realize that the Bible is very clear about respecting our bodies as a temple, being clean and pure. I hope you take some time to consider the fate of your eternal soul. God bless my friend.

      • Wow, I sincerely hope that you one day wake up from the dream world you live in… My friend you need to take a real hard look at your life and belief system. If I did buy into the religious mumbo jumbo, which by the way is crap and was put in place by people to gain power over otherwise stronger individuals, Your Bible even says judge not lest ye be judged… Why do you feel that you have the right or responsibility or whatever to involve yourself in anyone else’s life? “remove not the apple from the eye of your brother until you have removed the board from your own”. Now I’m not stupid enough to think that you will be able to see any reason in this, for the only people who so blindly believe as you do are the weak hearted and ignorant, and my friend I believe you to be both, but I hope you can at least understand that it is far more important to focus fully on your own life. As you don’t see any non-christian people trying to condemn you for your foolish lifestyle, don’t do it to others. Live and let live is and will always be the best philosophy. You sir give all christians a bad name and add a sour taste to the mouths of all “non-believers” which you so desperately need to convert to your weak belief system. P.S. Read a science book!

            Passages from the King James Bible that are relevant
            to the legal and moral status of Cannabis sativa, L.

            And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:12)

            God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.” And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Gen. 1:29-31)

            (No prohibition of cannabis or any other drug is made in the Ten Commandments: See Ex. 20:1-17)

            (Cannabis is mentioned in Ex. 30:23 but King James mistranslated it as ‘sweet calamus’) :
            Moreover, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even 250 shekels, and of qaneh-bosm [cannabis] 250 shekels, 24 And of cassia 500 shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy anointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. 26 And thous shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony, 27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick ahd his vessels, and the altar of incense, 28 And the altar of burnt offerings with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. 29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. (Exodus 30:22-29)

            * As one shekel equals approximately 16.37 grams, this means that the THC from over 9 pounds of flowering cannabis tops were extracted into a hind, about 6.5 litres of oil. The entheogenic effects of such a solution — even when applied topically -would undoubtedly have been intense.
            He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make his face to shineth. (Psalm 104:14-15)

            The Lord said unto me, “I will take my rest and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks and take away and cut down the branches. (Is. 18:4-5)

            And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. (Ezekiel 34:29)

            (Jesus:) “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.” (Matt. 15:11)

            One believeth that he may eat all things. Another…eateth herbs. … Let us not, therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Epistle of St. Paul: Romans 14: 2,3,13,14,17)

            Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereupon thou hast attained. (Paul: 1 Timothy 4:1-6)

            And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielding her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Rev. 22:1-2)

            Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and wine unto those of heavy hearts. Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. (Prov. 31:6-7)

            “Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! (Isaiah 5:10)

            “Then came Peter to him and said, “Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, “I say not unto thee until seven times: But until seventy times seven.” (Matt. 18:21-22)

            (Jesus:) “If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” (Mark 3:24)

            (Jesus:) He saith unto them, “Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him…. That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.” (Mark 7:18-20)

            Forfeiture:

            As troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests commit murder in the way by consent. (Hos. 6:9)

            (Jesus:) “Beware the scribes which desire to walk in long robes and … the highest seats in the synagogues and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: They shall receive greater damnation.” (Luke 20:46-47)

            Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part. (John 19:23)

            Persecution:

            Thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. (Ps. 119:86)

            (Jesus:) “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness’ sake: For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:9-10)

            (Jesus:) “The King shall answer and say unto them, ‘Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethern, ye have done it unto me.” (Matt. 25:40)

            Tolerance:

            These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood; An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief; A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethern.” (Prov. 6:16-19)

            (Jesus:) “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other, and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.” (Luke 6:27-29)

            Truth:

            A wise man will hear, and will increase learning: and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels. (Proverbs 1:5)

            There are also lazy, unemployed destructive and violent non-pot smoking Christians.
            So clearly the pot-smoking is NOT the cause of any societal degradation.
            But society is actually not falling apart. Sure the economy is not growing because the non-liberal right is pillaging the raw materials of your country. But morally it has steadily been improving. For not too long ago children had less rights as pets, woman could not vote or different colored people could not drink from the same fountain.

And marijuana is now being scientifically engineered by drug kingpins to make the THC even stronger and more deadly. It’s gone beyond the “natural” into something purely disgusting and evil. You are very, very wrong, my young friend.”

            YOU are very wrong my old non friend.There is no “scientifically engineering” marijuana..Good try though on that one.
            Apparently you still have not grasped the reality that marijuana is NOT deadly.
            Your article describes heroin and meth junkies,and in no way describes marijuana use.You will not change anyone’s vies on that part so why try.
            “Why not pray instead! It is far more exciting and a great way to pass the night!!”
            Why would anyone waste their time praying all night for something that will probably never happen?I can see a quick prayer before going out to have fun or such,but not ALL night.
            “If you’re trying to be funny, this is not the time nor the place. Marijuana addiction is a serious issue.”

Why not,you seem to take a lot of interest in what others do with their personal lives,dont be a hypocrite,remember,do onto others as you would have them do unto you.
            You are no journalist and have no credentials..any journalist,excuse me,any REAL journalist would instantly provide credentials upon request.

        I think that Jesus was a pretty right on dude who taught a whole lot of things about not condemning people until you truly understand where they’re coming from. He was the kind of dude who would help you move and when you offered him dinner, he’d be like, “nah, it’s cool, I can turn this water into beer, this bread into pizza and this oregano into ganja, don’t sweat it, you have a lot of unpacking to do.” So I’d say that Jesus would be my spiritual lighthouse, as it were.
        Unfortunately, a lot of his followers are fucking assholes. They’re hateful people who are quick to condemn, and who ignorantly quote swaths of the Old Testament while ignoring other swaths, as it’s convenient to their argument. El Jesus would be SOOOOOO bummed out by some of you.

Imagine the world we’d live in! You stoners have no clue about social responsibilities and the rule of law. We need laws and regulations and morals and codes to keep society from falling into chaos. You drug addicts just want to tear everything down and you have no idea what you’d build instead. Just some vague notion of a “free for all” society, but that’s just what happened in China. Mao took advantage of that, seized power like a dictator and killed millions during the Cultural Revolution. Do you understand this is where your fantasy world would go?

      • //This is a tired, pathetic argument put forth by the most childish of people. It makes no sense and the same case could be made for legalizing heroin and crack cocaine.//

        Problem with your theory is this: marijuana is a natural substance and without any changes to it, is no different than alcohol in the long run. That, and there are actual studies done that prove that the effects of marijuana are not detrimental to anyone’s health. Crack and heroin, however, are man-made substances that were created by mixing various chemicals together with proven cases of death attributed to them. You’ll find more people being killed by drug dealers when it comes to marijuana than the use of the drug itself.

        //Imagine the world we’d live in! You stoners have no clue about social responsibilities and the rule of law.//

        Or rather, there are people who are sensible and know that the harsh treatment when it comes to marijuana use is too much for something that could easily be regulated much like beer or cigarettes and how everyone who’s against it is just against drugs in general rather than marijuana specifically.

        //We need laws and regulations and morals and codes to keep society from falling into chaos.//

        True, problem is when assholes like you want to force your morals and codes onto others who are perfectly fine. THAT is when chaos is abound, when retards like you think they know better than everyone and tries to push their controlling lifestyle onto them, people will fight back because you think you know the answers when you’re nothing but a clueless idiot.

        //You drug addicts just want to tear everything down and you have no idea what you’d build instead.//

        Nice generalization jackass. I bet you’ve never talked to a user of marijuana before, have you? Hell, you don’t talk to anyone without your mother’s permission, right?

        //Just some vague notion of a “free for all” society, but that’s just what happened in China. Mao took advantage of that, seized power like a dictator and killed millions during the Cultural Revolution. Do you understand this is where your fantasy world would go?//

        Uh, no, that’s not how that happened. China was already having disputes in it’s country and Mao took the opportunity to take over, like EVERY hostile takeover that’s been done before. He didn’t want to make a ‘free for all’ society, he wanted to introduce Marxism and Communism into China’s government because he thought that would help the country out.

          • shazzbot ramalamadingdong

            The shift in potency can be traced to the type of marijuana plant that the smoking substance comes from. The pot that was being smoked in the 70′s and shipped in from Mexico, Jamaica and other places comes from the cannibis sativa plant. This is a plant that, essentially, can grow up to 10 feet tall and provides the smoker with, primarily, a “head high.”
            With federal crackdowns on growers in the 80′s (thanks Nancy) most shifted to a cannibis indica plant which is a much more squat, broad plant, which, when smoked produces a more “full body high.” Combine that with growing technology and you and CNN are partially correct, the difference in the effect is really what is skewing public perception.

        //This article was intended for Christians and Christian parents specifically, so your kind is not welcome to come in to promote your hardcore agenda. It’s just not right.//

        So a 60-year old virgin who has never been with a woman before and is completely out of touch with reality and society is trying to give advice to those of religious faith and show that shit should’ve stayed like it was in the 50′s where women had no rights, blacks were separated and hated by whites and rich white men were mainly in power, and how technology is evil and only one view of the world should be accepted by all Americans or else they’re evil and trying to take down the country.

        Yeah, that TOTALLY helps people out.

        Actually, I’m not. You wouldn’t last an hour doing what I do for a living. You don’t have the brains and you sure as shit don’t have the drive. I haven’t smoked weed for close to 20 years (I only abuse legal, Christ-approved substances) but two of my best “stoner buddies” are leading DNA researchers in two of the nation’s most prestigious medical sciences labs. Woops, I forgot- for you, “science” is a dirty and offensive word.

        “This article was intended for Christians and Christian parents specifically, so your kind is not welcome to come in to promote your hardcore agenda. It’s just not right.”

        No, what’s not right is thinking you can post any old bullshit on the internet and then cry and wet your pants like an eight-year-old who just lost his first game of 4-square when people ask you to back your “writing” up with facts and sources. Or at the very least, answer even the most politely worded and reasonable questions in a direct and reasoned manner.

        Here’s a polite and reasonable question, one I’ve asked before. When offered a job as a children’s party entertainer, do you refer the parents that are hiring you to your “articles”? If your answer is no, why not? If your answer is yes, what is their reaction, generally?

            I didn’t ‘demand’ anything. I politely asked a simple yes or no question and invited you to elaborate on your (non) answer. And I shudder think of the kind of people DO need to “invade inside” you.

            “Yes, many people especially the children enjoy my acts.”

            I didn’t ask about about your approval ratings. Though the cliche’ “a legend in his own mind” rears its ugly head.

            “And yes, most concerned adults are also aware of my journalism.”

            Blogging is not journalism. Saying you are a journalist does not make it so. If I said I was the mayor of Los Angeles, would you simply accept that without question? No? Then why should I think of you as a journalist?
            I didn’t ask if “concerned adults” were aware of your “journalism”. I asked if the parents of the children you will be entertaining are aware of your “journalism”. You still haven’t answered my question. Why not?

            “Why are you obsessed with all this nonsense? I don’t understand what you’re going crazy over.”

            By “nonsense” I assume you’re referring to your own “article”. The only thing I’m “going crazy over” these days is Emilie Autumn’s last record, and the only thing I’m “obsessed with” is why the USPS can’t just leave the boots I ordered on my front porch.

            “And how do you know what I’m capable of accomplishing or not?”

            Because you are so very obviously socially retarded, inflexible, by your own admission “far older than” me, incapable of independent thought, incapable of acknowledging any point of view other than your own, incapable of accepting criticism, incapable of engaging in even the most basic civil discourse, obviously unable to refrain from trying to push your antiquated religion down other peoples’ throats… I could go on all night. Trust me, you wouldn’t cut it. You wouldn’t last an hour.

            “What sort of work is this that you keep nattering on about?”

            I’ve never mentioned my work before. And it’s none of your fucking business. Thank God.

            “Don’t be so quick to be high and mighty. I am far older than you and clearly I’ve experienced more in life than you can comprehend.”

            This is beyond awesome. How anyone can put these two sentences together and not get the contradiction is either a Shinto monk messing with your brain or… Stephenson Billings. Let’s switch ‘em around.

            “I am far older than you and clearly I’ve experienced more in life than you can comprehend.”

            “Don’t be so quick to be high and mighty.”

            No worries, I’m going to take my sweet time about being high and mighty. And Billings, what makes you think you have ANY idea of how old I am? Oh, right… that would be pure blind presumption without a single shred of actual knowledge. Same principal that makes you think you’re a “journalist”.

            “Living in faith is a wondrous thing”

And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.”

        We all know that having sex with too many partners can be unhealthy, so can eating too much chocolate. But eating chocolate in moderation is no sin. Sex is no sin, is a healthy, natural need.

  • is article exemplifies the reeking pile of excrement that are overzealous religious views, attempting to force themselves on others. Stephenson Billings, you cite the most absurd, ridiculous falsities all in the name of God, with absolutely ZERO logical points ANYWHERE within your utterly failed attempt at an argument. I’m a college student who smokes every day–I have a 4.0 GPA, ride my bike every day, work out every day, and have many friends. You claim that marijuana smokers go out and ‘kill each other, so that we have more for ourselves.’ Are you out of your mind? No, seriously; have you lost mind? The entire concept behind smoking marijuana is not one of desperate depravity, but of togetherness and peace with one another. Pot smokers do not go out and kill one another–in fact, many I know are very happy to simply share their marijuana with others in order to spread the joy.

    There are some legitimate reasons to dislike marijuana, however all the utter bullshit portrayed in your article shroud these legitimate reasons. Nobody of any legitimate intelligence would consider ANYTHING that you’ve said to be even remotely accurate. I would suggest that you research into the ACTUAL, SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS regarding marijuana and its purported effects before you consider stating anything in regards to it, yet I know you won’t simply because you believe you have it right because you say it ‘in the name of the Lord.’ Logical and accurate information means nothing to you–you would rather stay blinded by your illogical attempts at coherence.

    You want to know what’s killing the great country of America? YOU are. You, and people like you. I’m not saying people who oppose Marijuana–I’m not saying this at all. I’m saying people who oppose ANYTHING based simply upon blind faith and the belief that ‘Oh, I’m right because I believe in God and therefore anything I write or say, if it’s in reference to upholding a more Godly lifestyle, is right.’ No. No, no, no, no, no. You say people are blinded by Marijuana? You’re blinded by faith. Utterly, hopelessly blinded by faith. Your article not only proves that you no nothing of Marijuana, it proves that you cannot comment on ANYTHING related to society and be taken seriously, as you clearly indicate NO DESIRE WHATSOEVER to learn ANY LEGITIMATE FACTS in regards to anything you write/lecture about. I feel like I’m repeating myself here–and at the same time know that nothing that I say will have much of an effect on you, because your thick skull and faith-blinded mind will refuse to even consider anything contrary to your beliefs as correct. It’s not that you believe it’s wrong, you won’t even CONSIDER that YOU’RE wrong. Your lack of willingness to even CONSIDER another side and learn the legitimate facts are why people like YOU–I repeat, YOU.–are the reason America is dying, if any. Please do us all a favor and keep your ignorance-ridden comments out of the public’s eye, as it only pollutes it further. Actually, nevermind; please continue to do so, so as to provide the rest of us with illogicalities to mock in our spare time. Though horrendously sad, it really is quite hilarious to see that people of such terrible idiocies such as you even exist in this world.

    Leviticus 6:1-4, “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour…or hath deceived his neighbour…and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein: Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty,”

      • You keep repeating that pot smoking is responsible for the decline of the USA. There are millions of productive, hardworking, successful and even Christian pot smokers.
        There are also lazy, unemployed destructive and violent non-pot smoking Christians.
        So clearly pot-smoking is NOT the cause of any societal degradation.

        But society is actually not falling apart. Sure the economy is not growing because the non-liberal right has finally pillaged all the raw materials of your country. But morally it is steadily improving. For not too long ago children had less rights than pets, women could not vote or different colored people could not drink from the same fountain.

  • Well, in response to the last paragraph about America being an “INCREDIBLE” nation at one time; Please tell me when that time was? Surely before the 1930′s or so. This country has enacted several laws and the like specifically to grow hemp (it was once a crime not to), even as recent as the First and Second World Wars. Hemp for Victory? That wasn’t made by some stoners, that was the American government.

    From Jack Herer’s book, “The Emperor Wears No Clothes”:
    “In fact, when the patriotic, real-life, 1776 mothers of our present day blue-blood “Daughters of the American Revolution” (the DAR of Boston and New England) organized “spinning bees” to clothe Washington’s soldiers, the majority of the thread was spun from hemp fibers. Were it not for the historically forgotten (or censored) and currently disparaged marijuana plant, the Continental Army would have frozen to death at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.”

    Marijuana was also smoked, even by Abraham Lincoln himself. (Oh, and in case you’re not aware, “hemp” is another name for “Cannabis” is the scientific/botanical term for Marijuana.)

    “Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica.” – Abraham Lincoln

    Also, if you cite that Marijuana/THC is deadly, you’re bringing up an extremely outdated experiment run on monkeys where they were forced to smoke through gas masks. In all actuality, Marijuana/THC was not the cause of death, but it was carbon dioxide causing the brain to atrophy. THC, in even large doses, poses no threat to health. Actually, THC used in a dose dependent manner has been found to stunt tumor growth and kill off aging, or potentially cancerous, cells. As opposed to tobacco smoke (which I’m not sure if you’re against), which promotes tumor growth. If you don’t know how polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons work, read the source presented below, unless you’re stuck in the Dark Ages and believe that science is the Devil and hearsay is proof.

    http://www.harmreductionjournal.com/content/2/1/21

    Also;
    In a review of the research published last fall, University of Colorado molecular biologist Robert Melamede, PhD, concluded that the THC in cannabis seems to lessen the tumor-promoting properties of marijuana smoke.

    “The nicotine in tobacco has been shown to inhibit the destruction of cancer-causing cells”, Melamede tells WebMD. “THC does not appear to do this and may even do the opposite.”

    Fox News, a largely Republican and Conservative news network, let that article on their site.

    The argument I saw used in one of your debates against a poster saying that Poison Ivy is natural, is such an asinine and ignorant thing to say. Why would you try to smoke Poison Ivy? When you touch it you get itchy. Marijuana has no such effects. If it did, there’d be thousands of deaths caused by Marijuana.

    However..
    “Indeed, epidemiological data indicate that in the general population marijuana use is not associated with increased mortality.”

    Source: Janet E. Joy, Stanley J. Watson, Jr., and John A Benson, Jr., “Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base,” Division of Neuroscience and Behavioral Research, Institute of Medicine (Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 1999), p. 109.
    http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?isbn=0309071550&page=109

    The death rate for Cannabis users is at 0. Now, I guess if you mix in alcohol, cigarettes, and greasy fast food as well, then it’s quite higher. As opposed to Marijuana alone, the numbers from those deaths can be startling. Tobacco kills millions of people, but I don’t think you’re against it because it’s legal. Yet, you talk about our bodies being a temple and to keep them pure. Therefore, shouldn’t you promote the outlawing of alcohol, tobacco, fatty foods, any fuel that causes sulfur and other chemical byproducts, as well as making it mandatory for inner-cities to use extremely functional water treatment facilities to make sure no chemicals are present in water?

    I guess anyone who isn’t ignorant to fact and can cite their findings will have to say that you, sir, are an asinine, bible thumping, half-witted, blind Christian who does not believe in fact, but rather hearsay.

    Good day to you.

      • You do realize that the bible we read is not the word of God, right? The book was a compilation of many peoples thoughts and interpretations of God’s word. The church held a giant meeting to determine what should be in the bible, men deciding what parts of God’s word was important and what was not. Let us not forget that this was only the first edition of the bible. Its been something like 17 or 1800 years since, and people have been translating and re-translating and interpreting and re-interpreting the bible.

        The bible you read is not the word of God. The only thing to ever be the exactly the word of God was Ten Commandments, which God himself dictated to Moses at the burning bush.

        Speaking of the burning bush, hemp and marijuana started in that exact area of the world. It is almost a certainty that the burning bush was really a marijuana plant.

        Drinking’s legal, so who’s to say that I can’t arrive to work drunk and stumbling over? Oh that’s right, the law which doesn’t forbid drinking but does forbid being drunk in a public place. Ya know, that sounds like it could work with marijuana-WAIT A MINUTE!

        You do realize that just saying that by making something legal that everyone will be doing it constantly is a fallacy right? It’s legal to drink but you don’t see the entire working populace showing up to work drunk, and by that logic if marijuana was made legal then similar laws could be passed to prevent people from getting high in public.

I only smoke every once in a while to relax with my friends. Before you go claiming that I’m “unaware of my addiction,” I’d like to say that I think I know more about my cannabis use than someone who has never even met me in person (read: you). Also, at no point did I propose that we should give drugs to children. Children should wait till they’re grown up so they can make the decision for themselves. The decision should not be made by you, me or anyone else except for that individual. Stop playing God and trying to make decisions for others.

  • Mildred Billings

    I would like to apologize to everybody for my son here, Stephenson. I prayed to God everyday that he wouldn’t end up like this, but, well, let’s just say that it’s his father’s fault.

    My husband, Rod, bless his soul, was actually an escaped convict from Alcatraz. I won’t go into too many details as to how my son was conceived, but we’ll just say that it involved copious amounts of Jägermeister, nipple clamps, and a broken condom.

    Stephenson was, quite literally, dropped on his head when he was born. I was 6 months pregnant with him and doing squats in the living room, when, with a gush of fluid, several pushes, and a loud DUNK!, the little bastard fell out of me! The doctors tell me that the damage to his brain would probably have been avoided had he not been so damn heavy – that is, if he had been lighter, he wouldn’t have ripped my placenta out along with him, and the umbilical cord would have acted as a sort of “bungee cable”.

    Our little Stephenson was named after Stephenson Brand Dumpsters, due to the fact that when I was pregnant with him, he’d kick every morning as I put our trash in the dumpster. We did have a few cute little nicknames for him, as well: “Stinky”, “Raisin”, “Cumstain”, and “Boo-Boo”.

    When Stephenson was two, he received his first erection in the bathtub while I was bathing him. I knew that erections were perfectly normal for little boys to get, but Rod, who can smell a sexually aroused male from 30 yards away, came barging into the bathroom and throttled our little boy until he was blue in the face.

    We took him to the hospital and, fearing that the authorities would take Stephenson away from us, lied and said that he strangled himself against the coffee table.

    They say hindsight is 20/20. Had I known back then that keeping Rod in my life would result in my little boy becoming more brain damaged, I would have told the ER doctors the truth.

    When Stephenson was 10, he began gaining weight. We were shopping in the “Husky” section of the children’s clothing stores, if you get my drift. He was teased about his weight so badly that I began homeschooling him. He had been complaining about the liberal-run educational system for years, anyway.

    By age 12 he was displaying very disturbing behaviors. One Saturday I came home from the grocery store and found him in the closet with an umbrella up his ass. When he saw me in the doorway he started to cry and said that Satan and one of his minions, the Muffin Man, had done it.

    On his 16th birthday he found religion. His grandmother sent him a Bible in the mail. Little did I know, she also sent a note with it that read: “Read this Bible cover to cover, or I’ll have Uncle Eskobar come over and bust a cap in your ass.”

    And my life goes downhill from there. By age 18, he was trying to convert me from Druidism to Christianity. I reached my last straw when he renovated our house into a church. I kicked him onto the streets, where he lived for about four months in a dumpster behind the deli. He finally scrounged up enough money from giving handjobs to rent an apartment, where he resides to this day.

    I’m not even going to start asking about your lack of scientific proof to backup anything you said, or even apply a majority of what you said with modern, realistic importance, or talk about the contradictions and lack of relevance your bible quotes hold, but bashing other religions and completely disregarding the fundamentals of yours is just a cheap and disgusting way to enrage and further mindlessly brainwash your uneducated followers.

    Religion is not the way, and holds no importance in life. No one God controls us all, and he is not the one to carve our lives for us. Get used to it. It has taken thousands of years to loosen its grip on society, but it is finally underway. Keep it that way. If you want to believe, you keep that to yourself.
    But don’t post your slander on the internet, you clown.

My humility and rationality will not let me think one book, or even one lifetime, is enough to know the unknowable. You complain of arrogant liberals because life experience showed them your stance on marijuana is wrong, but it takes extreme arrogance to say you know God’s thoughts.

  • ///Marijuana has been made 30 times more potent in recent years by narcotics scientists. It is absolutely different than alcohol and the comparison is as childish as it is offensive. One toke of weed can push you into a neurotic frenzy, whereas a sip of wine will not. ///

    I wish this was a joke website, because you are out of your frickin’ mind.

    One night, I was at a party, and drank a cup of punch. I had not even finished my second cup when I almost fell to the floor. My friends carried me upstairs, induced vomiting and wrapped me in blankets as my body temperature dropped to 92.5. I couldn’t move myself, had no control over my limbs, and couldn’t speak at all. I couldn’t even stop my body from shaking from terror and cold. I thought I was going to die. The next morning, I got up and asked what had been put in the punch. Nothing but alcohol. Grain alcohol, to be exact, but still, just alcohol. And I repeat, I ONLY HAD A CUP AND A HALF. That’s not drinking to excess, and I still almost died.

    I have done several other drugs, all of which are illegal. I’m not addicted to any of them, and had a damn good time on each and every single one. I have NEVER, EVER, EVER felt like I was going to die on anything else. Alcohol is the real danger, marijuana is the most mild, gentle drug on the planet. The government doesn’t want us to have it because it causes you to start questioning things, like the ethics of a “God” who wouldn’t want you to use one of his greatest creations. But then again, I’m a non-believer, so none of that stuff makes any sense to me!

    I read about half of this article. It’s hilarious. You have obviously never smoked cannabis before, because the things you describe are totally absurd. ‘as unknown pedophiles watch from nearby bushes’? what does weed have to do with pedophiles? You mention something in your comments about athletes. Many athletes use weed (and other drugs). Michael Phelps, the national hero who won something like 8 GOLD medals in the Olympics was pictured taking a bong hit. Basketball players, football players, and body builders use weed.
    You mention that marijuana finances the worst criminal types. The reason marijuana is worth so much money is that it is illegal. You mention that it’s deadly in the first paragraph. There is not one documented death reported from weed. Never, in the history of the world. You are living in a fantasy world. Alcohol is legal and kills many people, and leads to all kinds of horrible violence. But you haven’t written an article condemning alcohol.
    I understand that you are delusional by the fact that you think everyone in America should pray to the same jealous and petty God as you. But please, calm down. Weed is a plant. If God made the world, he made weed, and it’s a blessing.

  • When God came to Moses on the Mount, he instructed Moses to make anointing oil from myrrh, cinnamon, cassia, and cannabis extracted into olive oil. English translations of the Bible have mistranslated cannabis as “sweet smelling fragrant cane, or callamus”. However, the early Hebrew texts clearly show that the anointing oil is to be made from Kaneh Bosm, or cannabis.

    Christ is singular for chrism, meaning to anoint. The title Christ was given to Jesus because he worked such miraculous healing by anointing the sick and suffering. If Jesus were here today, it would be those who are most adamantly opposed to cannabis, who would be standing in line to nail him to the cross. Cannabis is the Tree of Life, given to us by God, for the healing of the nations. Who does that leave to take it away, but the other side?

    Jesus used this anointing oil on lepors and they were cured, cannabis has potent antibacterial properties against Bacillus, the bacteria that causes Leprosy. When he used it for the blind, they were able to see, cannabis reduces intraocular pressure in glaucoma which can allow the blind to see. He used for the lame and they were able to walk, cannabis reduces muscle spasms and has potent pain reliving properties which can allow the lame to walk.

Maybe when God created it He didn’t know it could be used to get people high, give them enjoyment, make them laugh, and make Taco Bell taste awesome, but that would mean He isn’t all knowing.

In the 1960′s to ’70′s, pot was de facto legal on most college campuses, mainly because the police just couldn’t be bothered to bust yet another batch of giggling, dorito-snarfing teenagers whose parents had too much political clout to mess with. And what became of that generation? Did it establish socialism-communism-islamofascist-masturbatory-Dionysianism? I wish they had. Instead, they became the Wall Street Yuppies of the 1980′s, and then after the crash of 1987, utterly unchastened, they went on to run the banks and brokerages that gave us the Dot-com bubble, followed by the mortgage-backed-securities disaster. And they elected Ronald Reagan twice, George H.W. Bush once, and George W. Bush twice, cheering on all of them as they dismantled business regulations. That’s the real danger of pot — it turns you into Gordon Gecko and Dick Cheney.

    You sir with your foul and very misplaced and misinformed article,are the real terrorist.I have NEVER been arrested,committed any crime,always had a decent job and such..YET,I am a Medical Marijuana patient and I can sure as hell tell you right now that after so many years of believing and going to church I lost my job of 14 years,been in two near fatal wrecks within a year,I don’t believe in all these “man made” drug that are available.I believe in a plant that has been around for thousands of years,even prior to jesus himself and has been a medicinal herb for all that time as well.If god is so great why has he allowed all these negative things to happen to me and countless other ppl in this world.
    God put forth marijuana as with everything else on this planet.If you drink or take man made prescriptions,you are a hypocrite,no question about it.
    So before saying that its the devils drug(only fools believe in the devil) or that it soo harmful in the ways that you worded it..look around you you fool.
    Dont tell me im “lost” or some shit,as far as Im concerned,Im going to do what the fuck I want to do because I have only 1 life and if you dont like it then I feel sorry for you.Good day

    It’s sad that a Christian site would promote something so full of such dumbfoundingly blatant lies and scare tactics. This post has become laughing stock on Facebook. The most hilariously ridiculous line: “trade their delicate, yearning bodies to bearded ex-cons.” The truth is that our country is full of “potheads” that own businesses, raise families, and excel in society. Sex and Socialism aren’t even relivant. You make a horrible case with this crap and thankfully are doing more work for your opposition than for your own cause. This whole thing is laughable.

  • “Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally on our planet, serves a thousand different functions, all of them positive. To make marijuana against the law is like saying that God made a mistake. Like on the seventh day God looked down, “There it is. My Creation; perfect and holy in all ways. Now I can rest. [Gives shocked expression] Oh, my Me! I left fuckin’ pot everywhere. I should never have smoked that joint on the third day. Hehe, that was the day I created the possum. Hehe. Still give’s me a chuckle. But if I leave pot everywhere that’s gonna give people the impression they’re supposed to…use it. Now I have to create Republicans.” “…and God wept”, I believe is the next part of that story.”

  • This article is so bias & full of misinformation! Marijuana is not like alcohol, crack, heroine or even pornography. If the intent is to protect children, then parents ought to seek God first, set an example for their children & hope that the seed of righteousness flourishes. Otherwise, you cannot protect your child from marijuana use any more than you can protect them from having premarital sex, getting an STD, drinking in college, teen pregnancy, spousal abuse, watching pornography at a sleepover AND the list goes on & on!
    Prohibition causes crimes & it’s a WASTE of government dollars to persecute people who have a free will under God to obey his commandments & not destroy their temple! If any person chooses to disobey God’s word, it is God whom will JUDGE them & they will reap what they sow in their own life. They don’t even have to acknowledge that God is for God’s word to reveal itself in their life.

    The real problem in America is NOT drugs, alcohol or lack of morals. THE PROBLEM IS Our country & it’s leaders want to get rid of God, take his place as a moral compass & expect the same results! Do NOT preach to people about GOOD MORALS, failing to mention Jesus Christ set our standards, then EXPECT that anyone will care that your words are the authority. Without the EXAMPLE that Jesus Christ set for us all to live by, from the president to the newest baby….NONE are righteous enough to set standards to live by.
    Do not blame marijuana for our social decay!Blame the removal of God from our schools(which continually teach our generations to come) & the failure to rightly acknowledge that we ARE one nation UNDER GOD!

    MATTHEW 6:33-But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

This is all based on the Author’s opinion, not fact at all. I am a cancer survivor. I had to endure months of deadly chemotherapy and radiation ‘therapy’. The one thing that kept me alive? Marijuana. All under my Doctor’s care I might add. It eased my nausea so that I could eat and keep food down. It made me clear headed… yes I said CLEAR HEADED so I could work. It didn’t make me hallucinate, want to masturbate, or any of the other ridiculous things this Author claims marijuana can do. Please get your facts straight before posting any additional articles; or begin each piece with “This is my opinion.” And as far as the whole ‘gateway’ drug issue …I’m so sick of hearing this. If you are going to point the finger at Marijuana as a gateway drug, then you might as well make milk illegal too because it’s the gateway to drinking alcohol. Peace.

        –I can justify this. Children can get addicted to alcohol which is legal, getting into car accidents can happen to anyone not under the influence of any substance. Adjusting the car radio, checking the kids in the back seat, anything. I am the parent of two grown children and failing in school isn’t placing blame on a substance. If a person is using a substance, there must be a cause. Deal with the core reason, don’t just treat the symptom.

        Please open your mind just a little bit and read about all of the positive research that has been done on medical marijuana and how it is helping so many ill people. Tell me what good has come by legalizing alcohol? How many have died? To date since ancient times, no one has ever died from marijuana use, no one. Let me show you proof of how much good has been accomplished in the medical field by utilizing this plant.

Not the lies you speak of with your big words & repeated dialogue from the 1950s about America’s youth turning to, “skid row,” for their fix.

    • Why do you people think this sort of thing is funny? Taking the Lord’s name in vain is wrong and you’re being incredibly immature.

      You people really want proof? Dr. James Dobson has written:

      “Some of the risks associated with marijuana use include a smoke that is more irritating to the mouth, throat, airway, and lungs compared to tobacco smoke, and it contains 50 – 70% more cancer causing hydrocarbons. This tendency is aggravated for those who inhale deeply and hold their breath. Marijuana can also alter the blood pressure and pulse rate which puts one at risk for heart attacks. In fact, one study has suggested that an individual’s risk for a heart attack increases fourfold during the first hour after smoking marijuana. Another risk of marijuana use among the young is the impairment of intellectual function (concentration, memory, and judgment) and motor skills with the effects lasting up to days or weeks after immediate use.”

      “Finally, marijuana keeps bad company and is a gateway drug potentially introducing people to more serious and harmful drugs. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana is highly addictive. In fact, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, for more than 1.7 million admissions to publicly funded drug treatment programs in 2003, marijuana was the primary drug of abuse for about 15% of all admissions. Sadly, nearly half of these were under 20 years old, and more than half had started using by age 14.”

        • Dr Dobson is not scientifically nor medically qualified to speak on the matter.He is however a qualified Pych Doctor with beliefs similar to yours billings.
          Furthurmore there is statistical proof that most arrests today are marijuana related.Are you saying each and EVERY one of those ppl arrested is an addict?Most ppl that go to drug rehab are not there by choice nor are they addicts.A certain percentage of them yes are addicts with an actual need for services.
          Your statement “marijuana keeps bad company” you could not be farther from the truth than that right there.Methheads or tweekers keep the worst company
          Most ppl I know that use pot are really nice and trustworthy,neighborly and we all have decent careers and family.
          Explain this then billings,why after 80 years,did the AMA reverse it’s longtime stance on medical marijuana?The AMA for goodness sakes.American Medical Association has reversed it’s long time stand that marijuana had no value whatsoever,to a position that marijuana does have medicinal properties and has reccomended that it be relcassified from a schedule 1 to a schedule 2.THAT billings,IS FACTS!
          LEAP or Law Enforcement Against Prohibition members will even tell you why this so called “war” is a failure.

  • Hey author .. pedophiles will not pray on someone in their teens or twenties. If you’re going to use big kid words, I suggest you purchase a thesaurus. Or google definitions of words.

    “Pedophilia (or paedophilia) encompasses a range of adult sexual interest in prepubertal children. As a medical diagnosis, it is defined as a psychiatric disorder in adults or late adolescents (persons age 16 and older) characterized by a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children (generally age 13 years or younger, though onset of puberty may vary). The child must be at least five years younger in the case of adolescent pedophiles.”

  • I had a fantasy about having sex in a taxi with my wife, showing off her body and getting the driver so turned-on that he would jack off so she could watch it, and I’d get even more turned-on knowing she was so hot. I finally one day after many weeks of replaying that fantasy in my head I set it up with a cab driver I’d used earlier in the day to come home from the airport, it would be when we went out of town over that weekend.

    It happened like this, there were some taxis parked outside of our hotel so I slipped outside and asked one driver, a large older black fellow, (The one we’d used to get to the hotel) how much it would cost to drive us around sight seeing for 45 minutes. He said $50.00.

    I told him what I had in mind, and he said, “As long as I gets my money I didn’t care what you do to your wife.” I told him there would be an extra $50.00 in it for him if he would jack off in front of my wife. He said he had no problem with that.

    I told my wife we were finally going to take that “special” taxi ride we’ve talked about. Of course she tried to back out, but finally after a lot of convincing she got dressed up in a short skirt and flimsy blouse. I knew she wanted this as badly as me; she just couldn’t make herself say it.

    We had a few drinks already and I poured her one more for the road so she wouldn’t too nervous. When we got in the cab she started breathing heavily, almost hyperventilating, I knew she was really excited.

    As we pulled away from the curb I noticed my wife eying the cabby, then I noticed her hand started to rub my cock through my trousers. I told our cabby that we would like to drive to someplace isolated and maybe park. My wife was breathing hard now.

    Our cabby started to drive and my wife undid my pants and pulled out my semi- hard cock and started jacking me off as she made small talk with our cabby. I could see his eyes in the rear-view mirror watching her masturbating me. Then she then stopped and leaned forward and unbuttoned her blouse, exposing her pert tits and hard nipples, while looking at his eyes in the mirror as if she was simply taking off her coat.

    That’s when she stopped talking and leaned down and put her face in my lap and began rubbing my now hard as a rock cock against her face and lips. Seeing this, our cabby pulled behind some bushes in a nearby park and turned off the engine. He moved around in his seat so he could look over it at us.

    I could tell he was undoing his pants, and when my wife heard the “zzzzip!” sound she sat and looked over at him. I could see the cabby’s half-erect cock in his hand in the reflection of the windshield. It looked pretty damn big.

    My wife watched him as if hypnotized by the stroking rhythm he made jerking on his big dick. That’s when things really started to go crazy. My lovely wife leaned up against the seat, mashing her naked tits into the seat back and reached over it put one hand on his thigh and the other between her legs. Then as she massaged his big black boner she called over her shoulder to me to lick her from behind.

    I scrunched behind her and did as she’d requested, but before too long half her body was hanging over the seat back. That made it easier for me to get at her pussy, but I wanted to know what was going on, on the other side of the seat.

    I looked up into the rear-view mirror and could see that she was now masturbating that giant purple-black cock-head with both hands now, only inches from her open mouth.

    I was a shocked seeing that massive cock in her tiny white hands as she stroked it and moving her mouth closer. But I had to accept that she was only doing what I’d asked her to do and I had to admit that it looked really hot. I spread her legs and really went to town on her pussy that was sticking up in the air.

    She moaned and tensed and began having an orgasm, it shook her body and I looked in the mirror to see her place her lips over that big black head while still jacking him off, faster and faster.

    I watched fascinated, not believing what I was seeing. She was only supposed to watch him jack off and now she’s sucking his big cock like she was starved for it!

    Then I went a little light-headed when my beautiful wide, stopped sucking the man and told him to come to the back with us. What the hell was going to happen now? I wondered.

    The cabby clambered over the seat to sit between us and he immediately started fingering my wife’s slit and leaned down to suck on a nipple. That’s when my wife grabbed my very hard cock and started giving me the best blow job I’ve ever had. Her move to suck my cock pulled her tit away from the cabby’s mouth and I noticed her ass wiggling in the air as she bobbed her head over my hard-on.

    No fucking way! She wasn’t going to let that huge black monster into her tight little pussy was she? But she reached around and patted her ass, almost inviting his to fuck her. I could see him looking at her exposed pussy as it gyrated in front of him. I knew that if I were him I’d fuck her, how could any man turn down something that looked that inviting.

    I saw that man move up to my wife’s rear, his cock looked even bigger than before; it was as big around as my wrist and at least 10-inches long! It slapped down on her rump like a big black Salome as he moved up behind her. He started rubbing it up and down her totally exposed pussy and ass-crack, teasing her until she pulled her moth off my throbbing boner and panted, “Quite teasing me and fuck me. NOW!”

    This all was just about too much for me to process. My pretty white wife was going to be fucked bareback by a strange black man with the biggest dick I’d ever seen. I knew I was about to explode so I made her stop sucking me and watched the cabby’s black cock stretch open my wife’s tight pussy.

    She gasped as he shoved into her. She went nuts when he bottomed out into her hot wet snatch and was writhing all over my lap with each one of his deep strokes.

    Things had been really weird, but then they just became more so when my panting lust filled wife she turned and shouted at the grunting cabby, “Fuck my ass! Pull out and shove it into my ass. NOW! Do it NOW!”

    He obliged her and pulled out of her dripping pussy and pushed back in the other hole in one fluid motion, burying himself to the hilt.

    My wife groaned and grabbed the seat material in s death grip and she engulfed my cock again, refusing to stop sucking me as he hammered her tight white ass like a mad man.

    Then she shuddered violently as she gasped, “OH FUCK!” Over and over again, rearing up as her orgasm ripped through her sweet body. The cabby grunted once, then twice and a third time as her shot his cum into her tightly clenched ass.

    That’s when I shot my load deep into her hungry throat. It was an amazing moment, all three of us groaning and grunting totally into the moment of pleasure we were experiencing. Wow!

    Afterward, we went back to the hotel. We were tired out and took a quick shower and hit the sack. But as I drifted off to sleep, I pictured my honey fucking that black cabby and knew that we’d be doing it again, soon.

  • Whoever wrote this article, you are a fucking moron. Look at the countless studies done that prove marijuana is a safer alternative to alcohol and has many medical benefits everyone can utilize. Understand that we all have endocannabinoid receptors in our body, and we naturally produce Cannabadiol, a non-psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana. This NON-PSYCHOACTIVE CANNABINOID (this means it cannot get you high folks) targets cancer cells and forces them to undergo apoptosis, self destruction of the cancer cells, without harming white blood cells and other neutral or healthy cells in the body. It helps patients with AIDS eat so they do not suffer from AIDS Waste Syndrome. It reduces the ocular pressure in patients with glaucoma so they do not go blind and their eyes do not need constant surgery. Look up Elvy Mussika, one of the nations last survivng medical marijuana patients, and ask her whether or not marijuana has helped SAVE HER LIFE. Ask Irv Rosenfeld how is bone disease has been going since he has been using marijuana as a treatment for it for over a decade. Ask the countless other patients that use it for pain that comes from burns, broken bones, or any other ailment. If you all are going to ignore scientific fact just because it isn’t something you agree with then you are some of the biggest fucking hypocrites on the planet.

  • Isn’t it strange that there is no account of Jesus in the history books? The only record of him is in the highly fictional New Testament. How about you read the history of how that book came to be written and how Christianity was spread through fear and violence? How about you read about the power of indoctrination? Learn the facts, Jesus is a mythical figure.

    If you want to gain anything from religion, gain the real moral values of loving your neighbors. Not condemning them. Jesus is a myth, and all of the hatred inherent in Christian doctrine is a myth as well.

    Also, marijuana over and over again has been proven to be relatively harmless. You can tell me all day about how it is a gateway drug, but the stats don’t back that up. The real danger of today is prescription medications, which are killing people rapidly and actually are ruining families.

    Marijuana is not addictive, and had been shown to help with a number of health problems AND can help with depression. Marijuana smokers aren’t dangerous, they are relaxed and happy. Alcohol is far more dangerous. You should research the real reasons marijuana is illegal. It all has to do with, and no big surprise here, money.

I’m only 19 years old and I have produced 4 albums for various artists and am producing my own album right now. I’ve never committed an unlawful act of violence and I’m all around a nice guy. In fact, smoking weed has helped me. It expands my mind and makes me a happy person. If it was legalized, crime would go down and the economy would go up. Think about it. also, watch the documentary called The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. very informative and not a waste of time. and out of the corner of my eye i just saw a link for an article that states : How to spot a masturbator. It sounds hilarious, so I’m going to read it. And for all of you who haven’t tried smoking pot, try it twice, and see how you like it before you bash it when you don’t even know about it from experience. don’t give into all of the fear. I hope my comment helped some people. if it didn’t, go to youtube and search for “why did he remove his shirt”. Its the first one that comes up. hilarious. have a good day everyone :)

As for his opinion, it is completely bias. If you have never experienced the plant, then you have no right to have an opinion about it because you simply don’t know what good it does and what bad it doesn’t do. All I am asking is that you try it. I promise you won’t die or go to “hell”. But you might actually enjoy it and develop a different outlook on cannabis. Although I am not religious, I am going to put it this way just for all of you religious people. If God made everything, including cannabis, don’t you think it is kind of insulting to Him that you deny and have such a bleak outlook on something beautiful that he created?

        Instead of being like everyone else on here telling you how stupid you are, I am being completely reasonable and just trying to help you.

The painkillers destroyed his organs. He now grows and uses Medicinal Marajuana and he is in much better shape. The plant doesnt make you crazy or halluncinative, it relaxes you and makes your pain cease. I know more about pot than anyone ive met because ive seen how its grown and the effects on people( ive never used it becasue i have asthma and smoking is counter productive to that). Saying that it kills you and makes you insane and wanting to masterbate is a crock, it makes you less excitable when your high and therfore much less likely to masterbate. But Stephenson you seen to be going off of false and ignorant information, im a Conservative republican but i see the good tghat can come from the plant, plus mexican drug cartels transport cocaine and other man made drugs, not weed. I suggest that maybe you should just try to educate yourseld a little better about the plant. As an example, the plant is very sensitive and if any narcotics goon was trying to make a plant more potent, the plant would die, they do not take well to chemicals like that. so im not saying that you are a lunatic, as we share several of the same beliefs, im just saying maybe you should research more.

  • I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease when I was 12. I wanted to kill myself because of the pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. My doctor told me that my only choices were to either take anti-inflammatory medications, which are not very effective for pain management, or I could take opiate pain killers, which are addictive. Both of these can cause more problems with my stomach and liver. I tried both, and they made my problems worse. I started smoking marijuana, and now I can eat again! Now I can function because I am not always in pain! I tried the man made alternatives, but cannabis was the only effective technique for pain management that I found. I think that you should write an article about the evils of the pharmaceutical companies and their products. They really do ruin lives by keeping marijuana illegal for their own personal monetary gain.

    You should read this:
    Currently (2009), there are about seven and a half billion people who profess allegiance to one of six world religions or to a sect that has arisen from these. With regard to religions and sects, God has many faces. For Christians, Jews, and Muslims, he is a personified and universal Creator God, who created the world, the sky, and the universe out of chaos. The human being is considered as a God-created pinnacle, whereby at the end of time, he is promised a paradisiacal existence of man and God. The religions of Asia, however, know no face of a God, viz. no person, but rather a divine principle, a universal soul that is all-hearing, all-seeing, and all-understanding and that pervades the entire universe, thus a form that can be compared in some way to the existence of the Creation. But this does not mean that by this approximate comparison, the religious teachings of the Asian religions could be brought into harmony with the spirit teaching because these religions are also far from the Creation-given teaching of the truth, teaching of spirit, and teaching of life.
    he Christians pray to Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and to God the Father; the Muslims pray to Allah; others follow the commandments of the Torah or strive for an end of their rebirths. Many make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Bethlehem, others to the Kaaba in Mecca or to Mount Kailash in Tibet, and so on. And all those, who have fallen victim to a belief, long for heavenly peace, no matter how this may come about – whether it be by a “holy war,” by terror, a bloody criminal court, torture, murder, revenge, retaliation, or hatred. Nothing has changed with this, not even with the triumphal advance of science and the realization that everything in all of existence is physically explainable, even all those things that are erroneously called “supernatural” and “transcendental.” Nevertheless, the human being is a delusional believer in religious false teachings, in a God, in multiple gods or idols, and so on, for he simply wants to have a higher power over himself that relieves him of all responsibility, and this isn’t any easier than by one becoming attached to a delusional belief in an all-determining and responsible-for-everything divinity and so on. In this delusional belief, everything that cannot be rationally explained due to unknowing is presumed to be transcendental and supernatural, while those who can explain these things are dismissed as liars, swindlers, and charlatans. Thus the human being of the Earth searches still today in the meaning and orientation from a divine order – because he will not let himself be taught by the effective, creative truth but rather still wants to be a delusional believer in an age of great enlightenment, – like in the days of Abraham. In the entire universe, there is no animal or another creature (non-human) that has fallen victim to a religious or any other faith (belief), and so, there are also none that pray to a Creator God, to gods, to saints, to angels, or to an alleged Creator God’s son. Indeed, solely the human being knows prayer and faith because he is tormented by conscious and unconscious anxiety and fear and by hopes and desires. The animals and the creatures, however, only experience fear, panic, pain, and stress as well as physical and instinctive reactions to threats. Animals and creatures generally do not know the categories of the possible, the determining, weighing, and the logical because everything in them is determined by their instinct. The human being alone has understanding and reason, a rationality, which is why he is aware of himself and of all of his thoughts and feelings as well as actions and deeds and can consciously weigh, determine, bring to bear, and carry out in logical sequence. But what the human being cannot fathom and cannot understand arouses anxiety or fear in him.
    Since ancient times, the human being asks himself: who ends the day and allows the Sun to set, and where do wind, rain, snow, hail, lightning, thunder, and all the storms, droughts, crop failures, accidents, diseases, and epidemics come from? Since time immemorial, he has felt the power of the elements and stares without understanding into the darkness, in which he hopes to find an answer to what he asks for. And the fact is, if one stares into the darkness long enough, then various things will appear – hoped for illusions, visions, and all kinds of other things.
    Thereby, all the elements that move the human being, which he tries to fathom, apparently reach explanations (become explained) that impose themselves upon him in the form of characters, figures, names, faces, and features, etc. In this way, there originated Re, the sun god of the Egyptians, Thoth, the god of the moon, Agni, the fire god of the Hindus, and Indra, the god of the rain, and so on. In addition, there arose people who passed themselves off as gods (divinities) and who charmed their believers with crazy teachings and led them astray. Thus, it happened gradually that the people of the world populated everything with gods and idols: the sky and the earth, the water and soil, the springs, brooks, rivers, streams, lakes and seas, as well as the forests, jungles, the mountains and deserts, the air, the wind, lightning and thunder, and everything conceivably possible. By these divinities and idols and by alleged spiritual beings, etc., the human being, since time immemorial, tried and tries to explain all of what exists, what happens, what is born, evolves, and disappears. Thus, God is, and the gods and idols are, the means to an end, to calm the fear-vexed and fear-tormented mind and, in complete unreasonableness, to find support and responsibility in even more unreasonable and more illogical religious false teachings.

Thus, God is, and the gods and idols are, the means to an end, to calm the fear-vexed and fear-tormented mind and, in complete unreasonableness, to find support and responsibility in even more unreasonable and more illogical religious false teachings.
    Also the Inuit, viz. Eskimos (raw meat eaters), are not excluded from the faith in divinities; consequently, their magic priests plead to the goddess Arnaquagssaaq, in order to be able to kill seals and whales if they suffer hunger, and if they have not yet fallen hopelessly to Christianity. The goddess is supposed to live in a white palace at the bottom of the sea.
    According to the old customary delusional belief of the human being, a monotheistic God commands over life and death, like also numerous gods and idols are supposed to do that; consequently, they should be appeased. As a result, sacrifices are brought to a God and to the gods and idols, such as flowers, fruits and vegetables, animals and creatures, money, all kinds of religious objects, and even humans. Since early times, the whole thing was connected with magic rituals, from which indigenous religions originated. Nevertheless, it did not remain there with these because new forms of religion gradually formed from false prophets, priests, and fanatics, and so on and, with their immense false teachings, led to powerful religious communities and, ultimately, to powerful religions. All of these undoubtedly have common characteristics that cannot be denied. Faith (belief) is a counter-response to fear, through which evil should be changed to good, not only in nature but also with the human, who should be changed to the true human being by open religious-faith laws and by hidden religious-faith laws and commandments and, thus, by hidden power. Forces and elements of all kinds are supposed to become kindly disposed; thus, droughts should turn into rains, and diseases and epidemics should turn into health. Hunger should find an end through good harvests and through luck in hunting, while anxiety and fear should be changed into courage and confidence. Particularly, anxiety and fear are the carrying pillars of all religions and sects, namely since time immemorial, and these are carried into today’s time.
    Anxiety and fear are the basic fruits of all religions and sects, which are thrown to the believers as food and are eaten by them because they fear or are afraid of everything that might break in on them as an injustice of any kind and as a direct punishment from God.
    Opposing this stands the gratitude of the believers, namely for the embellishment of the evil that hasn’t broken in on them because, in accordance with their faith, they have humbled themselves like dogs in prayer to their God and in worship of his divine power. This is done, instead of trusting in themselves, identifying with themselves, and consciously doing everything in their own energy and strength to turn everything to the good and best. Full of fear and dread, the human being does not consciously take hold of his own action and initiative in order to do the right thing, but rather humbles himself like a dog in prayer to an imaginary God, in order to beg for help, which such an imaginary figure can never give, neither to avoid being killed by lightning nor to avoid being devoured by floods or struck by hail.
    Originally, indigenous religions developed with the early people from anxiety, fear, fright, and lack of understanding, for they saw themselves as dependents of nature as well as of life and death. They looked for explanations, looked into the darkness, experienced visions, saw figures, faces, and heard names, etc. that, overall, they accepted as being true and considered to be a higher power and divinity, and they began to believe in this. Thus, thoughts and feelings of dependence as well as anxiety and fear were the basic factors, and from these developed pictures of higher powers, viz. a God or goddess, around whom thoughts and feelings revolved more and more, and ultimately, faith originated from this. And indeed, it is still true today, that out of anxiety and fear, new religious directions, explanations, and delusional forms of faith and sects arise, namely in the masses of entire peoples, with whom anxiety, fear, and terrifying events and phenomena as well as ordinary or extraordinary effects of nature are made the object of a religious or sectarian delusional faith.
    At the present time, science makes the world, life, and the universe explainable in all physical factors and dispels the darkness of ignorance. But this does not prevent the believers of religions and sects from remaining in the darkness of ignorance and from indulging in the religious and sectarian false teachings. But actually, they only do this because on the one hand, their faith is handed down to them as an evil heritage and is powerfully active, and on the other hand, they are still trapped by anxiety and fear, from which they do not dare to set themselves free because they fear divine punishment.
    And this divine punishment, so they believe, would come over them as an illness, disease, privation and misery, as misfortune, a lightning bolt, storm flood, drought, as hail, a tempest, poverty, or shame, etc.
    The human being isn’t an animal or creature, which notices when it approaches death, for he has become inattentive and negligent in these things, but contrary to the animal and creature, he is aware that he will die sooner or later and that he cannot avoid death. However, he is often afraid of death because he does not know what comes after life, in death. He also does not know what was before his life and what purpose life actually has. Without answers to these questions, life remains pointless for the human, so to speak, as nothing more than an evil joke in the time of eternity. But this is also a reason why the human searches for a God for himself and becomes a delusional believer in the hope that a God would direct everything, would give everything real meaning, and would have the solution for everyone. So for this reason, the human turns to a religion or a sect and thus to the belief, that he is taken care of and is doing the right thing. However, religious or sectarian faith is truly nothing more than desperation for the purpose of life. If the believer would know where his joys and sorrows lead him (as in this respect, everything is made known and is taught in detail by the spirit teaching), then he would recognize a visible goal of his efforts and would find a plausible and logical explanation for his tangled mess of his interests and for his thoughts, feelings, desires, expectations, needs, and hopes, etc. In fact, he would then no longer cling to false teachings of religions and sects and to wrong ideologies and philosophies and wouldn’t believe in any God but would only live according to the creative-natural truth, would recognize himself as a high power, and would do and accomplish everything by his own energy and strength (power) and bring about the very best of success.
    The person ruined by a religious or sectarian belief does not rely on himself, not on his own energy and strength, and not on his own ability; rather, he cowardly searches for all of these values in a God and in his faith because he has no confidence in himself and in his abilities and possibilities, for he only expects these of his God. The believer looks to God, angels, or saints to help him from his despair. For the one who depends on faith, God becomes the great organizing principle for all human errors and confusions because as a believer, he cannot create and maintain order himself; thus, he also makes God the reason for life, the world, the universe, and all events, as well as the goal of all efforts and the founder of life and its meaning.
    The believer lives in the delusion that God would prevent all bad things, all evil, and every kind of injustice if one only believes in him and prays to him fervently. And God, so the believer believes, would prevent that he would have no security in life and that he wouldn’t feel like a drifting feather in the wind. And actually, it is the case that the believing person always wants to have a reason for what befalls him. But where he cannot recognize a reason, the believer holds to his faith in God and to the imagination that it was divinely ordained. Where no reason can be seen for something, not only does the individual believer hold himself, but usually all believers in God hold themselves to the belief that the corresponding incomprehensible events were the work and will of God, as a world-mover and fate-mover, which would simply have to be accepted. And they think that their lives follow a well-thought out and God-given destiny, to which they are given because their idea of a higher order, purpose, and destiny calms them down. In this way, the life focused on a God gives meaning to the believer, even if this is extremely deceptive. But through this deceptive sense of life, the believing person is given a wrong meaning and a confused structure. The believer deceives himself and thinks that his life has permanence beyond death; thus, he believes that heavenly promises would develop for him, and exactly this creates another reason for humble faith because alleged divine commandments and religious earthly rules of life gradually destroy all reason. There only arises a form of a relationship between the imaginary God and the believer. At the same time, this provides a system of religious ethics and morals that should regulate relations among the people, whereby God-ordered punishments – including murder – are maintained as ethically and morally correct. Unfortunately, the human being of the Earth in regards to faith (belief), God, religions, and sects is without understanding and without reason and is also illogicaly-thinking and stubborn; thus, he does not want to free himself from the religious and sectarian belief-fabrications, in which he has caught himself since ancient times.

    Here is the TRUTH and the LIGHT!
    Marijuana is a blessing, its the tree of life given to us by our creator!

    “What is the Word of God on the Cannabis plant?

    The hemp plant (scientific name: cannabis, slang: marijuana) is one of the many useful herbs “yielding seed after its kind” created and blessed by God on the third day of creation, “and God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:12) He gave hemp for people to use with our free will.

    God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…To you it will be for meat.” … And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. (Genesis 1:29-31) The Bible predicts some herb’s prohibition. “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall … speak lies in hypocrisy … commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (Paul: 1 Timothy 4:1-3)

    The Bible speaks of a special plant. “I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.” (Ezekiel 34:29) A healing plant. On either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare 12 manner of fruits, and yielding her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Revelations 22:1-2) A gift from God.
    How was cannabis used in Biblical times and lands?

    Cannabis was used 12 ways: clothing, paper, cord, sails, fishnet, oil, sealant, incense, food, and in ceremony, relaxation and medicine. For so the Lord said unto me, “I will take my rest and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs. For afore harvest, when the bud is perfect and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks and take away and cut down the branches.” (Isaiah 18:4-5)
    What about cannabis today?

    Hemp today has thousands of uses. Modern technology has devised many new uses for the hemp plant&emdash;like biomass energy, building materials, fuel, plastic and so on. Hemp is ecological and its seed is among the best food crops on Earth. Selected varieties produce flowers that provide an herbal relaxant and a spiritual tool. Its herb is used globally as medicine.
    Does the Bible discuss drugs?

    Alcohol is the only drug openly discussed in the Bible, so it must serve as our reference. Wine is drunk during religious occasions such as Passover &emdash; the Last Supper of Jesus and His disciples. It remains a sacrament in modern church services.

    Jesus began his public life by miraculously turning water into wine at the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-10) when the reception ran out. The Bible distinguishes between use and misuse. It says, Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. (Proverbs 31:6-7) but Woe unto them that … follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! (Isaiah 5:10)

    Yet the simple joys of drinking were also sung. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make his face to shineth. (Psalm 104:14-15)
    “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”Did Jesus speak about choice?

    He said not to criticize other people for their habits. “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; that which cometh out of the mouth defileth a man.” (Mat. 15:11) The apostle Paul wrote, I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. … For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Paul: Romans 14:14,17)
    Did He speak of government?

    Jesus said to keep church and state apart. “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s and unto God the things which be God’s.” (Luke 20:25) As we have seen, it was God, not government, who gave man the herbs to use. And it was government that put Jesus to death.
    Property forfeiture laws?

    He warned us about seizure and forfeiture laws. “Beware of the scribes which …devour widows’ houses…. The same shall receive greater damnation.” (Luke 20:46-47) Jesus, too, was a victim. The soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part. (John. 19:33)
    What about the Drug War?

    Blessed are the peacemakers. (Matthew 5:9)

    Prop 19 in California is the peace that we are making!

    It was God who created cannabis hemp and told mankind to use “every green herb” on Earth. The Bible speaks of mercy, healing and a persecution of God’s children. They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. (Psalms 119:86) Prisons and drug wars do not save souls. The Lord… hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Isaiah 61:1)
    What should the ministry do?

    Teach God’s truth. Warn your congregation that the war on marijuana is unchristian and must be ended. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you will be no priest to Me … for I desired mercy and not sacrifice. (Hosea 4:6, 6:6)

    Remember: Every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving…. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine. (Paul: 1 Timothy 4:4-6)

    Summary analysis of the foregoing discussion

    What does the Bible say about marijuana? The Bible says that God created hemp for people to use “as meat,” (ie, to consume), that its seed oil is to be used as an ointment, and that cannabis is “to be received with thanks-giving of them which believe and know the truth.” Paul also warned that some people would “speak lies in hypocrisy” and prohibit us from using it.

    It also says that we “shall not bear false witness” about people who use cannabis, nor judge them because that judgement is reserved to the Lord. The Lord hates those who speak lies and sow discord among brethern. For those people harrassed and imprisoned for using cannabis rightfuly, Jesus offers these words of comfort, “Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness’s sake: For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
    What would Jesus do regarding medical marijuana?

    Despite common knowledge and widespread scientific support, the federal government has for nearly 30 years kept cannabis in schedule 1 as a deliberate way to deny patients access to medical marijuana. This includes people suffering from asthma, cancer, migraine headache, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, and provides relief for many other conditions. As a result, people at various locations across the USA have had to risk and suffer years in prison for providing medical marijuana to patients as an act of compassion and personal conscience. What would Jesus do? He chose to break the law in order to heal the sick.

    “At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn, and his disciples were hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. 2) But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day 3) But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungered, and they that were with him? … 10) And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered, And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. 11) And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it and lift it out? 12) How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. 13) Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. 14) Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. 15) But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; 16) And charged them that they should not make him known.” (Matthew 12: 1-2, 10-16) (also see Mark 3, Luke 13, John 9)
    Should people give blind obedience to government?

    Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2) Why do thy disciple transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.” 3) But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? … 7) Ye hypocrites! … 12) Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13) But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14) Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind, And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:1-3, 7, 12-14)

    Passages from the King James Bible that are relevant
    to the legal and moral status of Cannabis sativa, L.

    And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:12)

    God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.” And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Gen. 1:29-31)

    (No prohibition of cannabis or any other drug is made in the Ten Commandments: See Ex. 20:1-17)

    (Cannabis is mentioned in Ex. 30:23 but King James mistranslated it as ‘sweet calamus’) :
    Moreover, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even 250 shekels, and of qaneh-bosm [cannabis] 250 shekels, 24 And of cassia 500 shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy anointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. 26 And thous shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony, 27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick ahd his vessels, and the altar of incense, 28 And the altar of burnt offerings with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. 29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. (Exodus 30:22-29)

    * As one shekel equals approximately 16.37 grams, this means that the THC from over 9 pounds of flowering cannabis tops were extracted into a hind, about 6.5 litres of oil. The entheogenic effects of such a solution — even when applied topically -would undoubtedly have been intense.

    He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make his face to shineth. (Psalm 104:14-15)

    The Lord said unto me, “I will take my rest and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks and take away and cut down the branches. (Is. 18:4-5)

    And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. (Ezekiel 34:29)

    (Jesus:) “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.” (Matt. 15:11)

    One believeth that he may eat all things. Another…eateth herbs. … Let us not, therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Epistle of St. Paul: Romans 14: 2,3,13,14,17)

    Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereupon thou hast attained. (Paul: 1 Timothy 4:1-6)

    And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielding her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Rev. 22:1-2)”

    Praise or Condemn: Thumb up 2 Thumb down 1

    • Do you honestly believe the Bible encourages us to abuse our bodies and put our health at risk? Can you truly tell me with a straight face that intoxication is praised in God’s word? You are dangerously deluded and your “facts” are nothing more than unscrupulous bastardizations of faith. You want to justify your drug addiction and the disgusting hippie life you have chosen and you have dragged the name of Jesus into it! I am astonished, truly. How does stumbling around as some idiotic stoned person eating chips and watching tv all day comply with what Corinthians implores us to do with our lives?

      “And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” –1 Corinthians 9:25-27.

      Do you honestly believe you are setting a goodly example with your druggie life as we are commanded in Matthew?

      “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” –Matthew 5:13-16.

      You are nothing more than a criminal and a pervert. You belong in jail. All you rotten people. Don’t insult me with your arrogance.

      • //Do you honestly believe the Bible encourages us to abuse our bodies and put our health at risk? Can you truly tell me with a straight face that intoxication is praised in God’s word?//

        Man defines intoxication, man wrote God’s word, man translated God’s word, man changed God’s word, and man has altered God’s word. You’re too much of a hypocrite to fucking understand.

        //You are dangerously deluded and your “facts” are nothing more than unscrupulous bastardizations of faith.//

        his ‘facts’ are actual facts compared to your bullshit. You just lump yourself with sheep and fear mongers and let your terrorist ways do your talking.

        //You want to justify your drug addiction and the disgusting hippie life you have chosen and you have dragged the name of Jesus into it!//

        Just because you partake in one activity does not mean you center your life around it Stevie. I know people who smoke marijuana but are perfectly normal members of society and only smoke it on occasion. There are people who drink beer every once in a while because they don’t mind it. Just because you’re involved in some activity does not mean that the chosen activity is what defines you. You’re a self-admitted bottle collector and clown, would it be appropriate to say all you do is make clown props, jokes, and walk around in clown make-up? According to your logic, it is.

        //I am astonished, truly. How does stumbling around as some idiotic stoned person eating chips and watching tv all day comply with what Corinthians implores us to do with our lives?//

        Yeah, that quote did jack-shit buddy, and it’s only a problem if that’s ALL you do. If a marijuana smoker has a decent job and lives a pretty good life and gets high once in a while, then it’s not a problem. If someone sits in their room and does nothing but light up, then there’s a problem. The problem being that the person has no ambition in life and resorts to other activities to fill in the gaps of time from dusk till dawn, NOT that they’re a drug addict.

        //Do you honestly believe you are setting a goodly example with your druggie life as we are commanded in Matthew?//

        Goodly isn’t a real word jackass, and you’re setting a terrible example by doing nothing but condemn people without any real reason. You’re a racist, sexist bigot who hates everything, and you claim to be a good example?

        //You are nothing more than a criminal and a pervert. You belong in jail. All you rotten people. Don’t insult me with your arrogance.//

        You insult people on a daily basis with your stupidity and arrogance, as well as ignorance. You’ve been told time and time and time again that you’re nothing but a piece of shit, scum, the lowest of the low, and yet you STILL have the audacity to claim yourself an equal to Jesus and God, and that you know better than everyone, and that Christian laws do not apply to you. You have NEVER shown ONE ONCE of humility or forgiveness or kindness, every instance you can claim is NOTHING but your deluded brain thinking you’ve done good, and you ONLY do good because you’re scarred shitless about going to Hell, that you will follow the Bible to the letter and demonize and warp various passages to fit your situation, and you will IGNORE anything that clashes with those ideals, including the ones FOUND IN YOUR DAMN BIBLE!

      • “Do you honestly believe you are setting a goodly example with your druggie life as we are commanded in Matthew?”
        No, as YOU were commanded in Matthew. YOU, not ME. You really need to get a grip on the concept that a very weak minority of the people you (unwillingly) share this planet with take their marching orders from the same antiquated book that you so blindly do. It’s really difficult these days to find much difference between you fundies and the Taliban.

  • hahahaha! Are you serious? When I read this I thought it was a joke… you actually BELIEVE the random drivel you pasted together on this article. If you want to hate Obama, find a beter reason; if you want to hate weed, research it before condemning it; paedophiles? well I assumed everyone knew they didn’t go for teenagers and twenty-somethings. Honestly the drug affects you’re describing don’t resemble weed at all… more like a combo pack of acid and molly (and before you accuse me of trying them, think of other ways people know things without trying them… research maybe?.) And by the way, go back to college, I dare you…

  • This. . . .is. . . amazing. I didn’t realize that all of these ‘sexual’ violations (depending on how we look at them) and conditions were directly caused by marijuana use! It all sounds like the rantings of a non-potsmoker, and in effect completely speculative, inaccurate, and perfectly doused with a gallon of rel
