Nick: So does your brother still have to avoid direct sunlight on his back? His tattoo is rather big, anyway. Blessings.

You mean a BC mountain might start smoking, Winston Churchill-style?

Sorry about this bad news for you. Prayer - naming many people of concern to us over the years - does change things, also, I believe. Blessings, Brother.

There are some really great folk in the Canadian Forces. (The separate services have been integrated together as one military service.) Women are getting well integrated, too. BC looks quite similar to Mount Rainier in places... Blessings.

Isn't Missouri 'The Show Me State'? I think I've seen the motto on Missouri number plates.

I guess I'm coming at the subject from a slightly different angle than some of you guys. Blessings. Another interesting view is from former President of Uruguay Jorge Batlle. The whole thing of marijuana trade deeply affects relations between Latin America and North America. Mr Batlle (who...

Realtors report illegally grown cannabis plants cultivated in attics as making the property more difficult to sell. Maybe there is a case for cultivation under proper conditions for safe and supervised, legal research. Blessings.

The French has 'demeures', which is 'dwelling places'. (Another slight insight from bilingual Canada.) Blessings.

PS: Deborah13: I guess a century ago some Christians might have tried to claim lipstick was 'wrong'; but it was all bound up with Elizabeth Arden and the Suffragists and their cause; and now preachers' wives wear it all the time. I guess some ink in benign designs in modest placements would be...

Deborah13: Was this for marijuana sales, you mean? I guess it's the sort of thing I would have been unenthusiastic about also. What I would prefer to see is a safe trials and integration into medical practice, where appropriate. Blessings.

I was drawing a parallel; but maybe I'm getting off topic? but then it's hard to look at a topic rationally and unemotionally without analyzing it from different angles sometimes. Anyway I know this whole topic is for some Christians a hot potato. Like Prohibition was 80-90 years ago, I guess...

Prescription medicine abuse is an error, as illegal use of untested marijuana is also. My question: why should it be regarded as morally sacrosanct for huge pharmaceuticals to rip off ill people to the tune of billions, just because it is 'legal'. It seems that, as long as spokespeople for...

jasoncran: Here's a good answer to such protesters: 'Someone has to defend your right to demonstrate.' Blessings. PS: You should see the Canadian military; just how small its budgets are, year after year.

The key is if it's safe, legal and properly researched: if all these criteria are met. Cannabis resin is even less addictive than nicotine. I don't see why people's hesitations should be used by huge corporations to rip the public off further with the massive profits they make. Some meds in...

My thing is: if phamaceutical companies are ripping so many people off with their huge profits, can legal research trials into marijuana assist the consumer and patient in the long run, cost wise, for certain meds?

Interesting comments just now about musical appreciation, on the thread! :) You must have given it a great deal of thought, anyway. (Maybe your mom respects your Christian hard rock inclined tastes now, even if she isn't into it herself.) Blessings.

questdriven Re. Skillet, I think it was also kind of nice that it was your mom who sort of helped you along the way with the Skillet she bought you, as you got into Christian hard rock more. Blessings.

questdriven: Yes, I understand how melancholy songs can have their attractions, and that Christian hard rock may be have a melancholy element in it's rigorous style and lyrics. What I also like in Christian hard rock lyrics is for there to shine forth some element of hope and assurance also...
