YAY FOR WEED AND RELIGION... 5 stars... If religion had more weed today, maybe we all could get along and not want to kill each other... You know... like how all religions tell us to pretty much love one another... Maybe we should do that... And smoke weed...

Before I used cannabis I didn't really believe in god, but after I knew....

@mos619 that's pretty cool.. which GOD do you now believe in?

For my friends who trust in God and the Bible. Spiritual revelation is one thing and I do believe in the resurrection of Yeshua, you know Him as Jesus; that He died and paid the price for our sin. Hemp is created by God and given to Mankind for our good. All things in moderation. Cane made an offering back to God and was rejected because he gave it back. All the properties of this plant reflect God's Love for us. For me cannabis is proof of God, the Garden of Eden, and the Creator of ALL THINGS.

I believe Marijuana is a gift from God. Satan hates Marijuana and is trying to undermine its blessings by spreading lies!

@thelastdaysmessenger But why is it against the law??? I wonder... now just stay with me here im just taking a longshot, but maybe, now im just saying maybe remember... mayyybe that the govt. doesn't want people to have such knowledge on this issue. How many people have done the same thing this guy is doing? lol. none.

I'm a Christian and I smoke weed daily. I find that it helps me clear my mind of any negative, sinful thoughts, it puts your core feelings into perspective, like love, hate, jealousy. I love how it allows you to see yourself for what you really are, looking past those mental blockages that you put in place within your mind. Let's be honest here, Cannabis has so many health benefits, makes people happier, and more compassionate. Yet it's against the law.

A very honest and respectful interview. 

[phunkyfeal]

facts are facts

so fuckin face em!!!!!!

I don't smoke weed but I find it hypocritical that I can purchase and use cigarettes and tobacco products legally. Cigarettes and tobacco products have been proven 100% to cause cancer and other health issues. I can purchase alcohol, again proven to cause health problems and cause accidents, injuries and death daily yet purchasing marijuana is illegal.

Marijuana is safer than cigarettes & alcohol yet it is illegal.

PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT LOGIC TO ME.

I don't see him as 'hiding behind religion' to smoke it. I see him trying to make people aware. Aware to the fog that's been purposefully placed by supposed 'leaders' & those that are supposed to know all, that hemp is bad. I have never found enjoyment from smoking it, but in the past couple years I found it to be wonderful for the few migraines I get. After studying it I am amazed at it's healing capabilities. More people Do need to be aware of this. Pharm companies will hate it but oh well.
