Drugs/Marijuana & the Bible

[Fedusenko]

Following the laws of the land is scriptural. True.

 

[farouk]

Following the laws of the land is scriptural. True.

Exactly. Though for huge corporations, now that marijuana has been decriminalized in some jurisdictions, it's not a Scriptural conscience that makes them prefer current, huge profits to developing less expensive alternatives to some of their manufactured drugs.

 

[Fedusenko]

Eh, I understand the war against Marijuana being one created by DuPont to maintain a strangle hold on the textile industry. It was effectively the ban of Hemp made possible by Marijuana. The core of that development was not a health or social issue, but to avoid a bountiful resource from getting to the hands of possible customers. The exact opposite of your assertion.

F: Actually if you look again at what I said, you may find you've misread it. (Unless I've missed something...)

 

[Christ_empowered]

Marijuana strikes me as fairly innocuous. Legalize it, tax it, have a nice day.

You've hit the nail on the head as far as the probable priority of politicians: 'how are we going to tax it?'

 

[Fedusenko]

Thanks for pointing out my error, farouk.

Christ_empowered, I imagine the DEA and FDA will come down very hard on it. It is their jurisdiction and their power grab for control.

yet its link to alot of things you have overcame. innocuos ask stovebolts about that drug or the woman in my avatar. the letter will speak of a mother that didnt be much of a mother to her.

 

[Fedusenko]

But what of the others that don't allow it to control their life, Jasoncran?

P.S. I don't smoke, but believe in self-governance.
