    Please give us an example.

    And I would wager that the "losers" far outnumber the "excellers".

    Why do I find myself humming Grateful Dead tunes when reading this thread?

    And why do I suddenly have the munchies?

    Sheesh...

    Carl Sagan was a pot head, excuse me again, a cannabis consumer, and look at the far fetched crap that he came up with.

    Yall' have convinced me that I just need to suffer and shut up about it. So I guess the purpose was to change my own mind.

    BTW the legal issues were the deceiding factor....unless I move to State that has compassion for folk's with incurable chronic diesases.

    I started to give you an answer, then deceided it's not really worth the effort. Do your own research, start with the father of our country, George Washington, end with Bill Gates.

    The musicians alone will take a few months.

    If forced to choose between being stereotyped as a "backward fundy" or stereotyped as a "fan of high times," I choose the former.

    I'll choose being called a fundy as opposed to a pot head any day of the week. The Bible tells us to be high on the Holy Spirit and not some substance that destroys both the lungs and the mind.

    There are uses for Hemlock. That's why God gave it to us.

    And I agree with your science. People who abuse the drug suffer side effects. I agree that abuse of the drug is bad. People who aren't sick should not use drugs. People who sell the drug to kids should be put away with.


    Yes they will. I remember how hard it is to quit. But the fact is, there are people who have led very productive lives, who have advanced knowledge, that are pot smokers. Everything can be abused, but to everything, there is a purpose. The healing qualities of the plant should be explored.

    I'd like to see how my stance makes me a fan of "High Times".

    Agreed...God made everything with a purpose. Why do you believe that the purpose of marijuana is to smoke or ingest it? Couldn't there be some other use for it? If you smoke enough nutmeg you'll catch a buzz too, but I don't think nutmeg was put here for that purpose.

    I tried to get high off of nutmeg when I was 15. Did not work for me. How about you ?

    Maybe cannabis is for "The healing of the Nations" , who knows ? You ?

    Before posing new questions, try answering the ones already asked.

    There are MANY uses for the cannabis plant. Don't believe it ? Try Google.

    I understand there are many ways it can be used. My question is why do you think one of its uses is to smoke or ingest it? Why isn't the purpose for which it was created another one of the ways it can be used? Why must the purpose for its creation be smoking or ingestion?
