Is Cannabis sinful if it helps focus?

[SillyMari]

So I'm curious if it feels like Cannabis helps me focus more and put me in a state where i can safely say i read the bible and can understand it a bit better while on the stuff.. Is it still considered sinful if it can help someone like me do that?
Usually I'm very autistic and my mind tends to get bored rather easy and starts to wander.. but with cannabis it helps me focus and during that time I usually am focus on the bible.

My opinion is... no that would not be "sinful". It might be illegal, which is a bad thing... I don't think there is anything more sinful about cannabis than alcohol. Don't do it to excess...don't let it control you.

I have never met any one who say it make them more focused.
Just the opposite is what I have seen.
IN my opinion, any drug that alters a person's mind as God has given it, is a sin.
Get on your knees and ask God to help you, and if you are a true child of God, He will.

I must be a first then as it really does help me focus.
Don't know how to explain it to much but it does help.
It might really depend on the person though overall if they are willing to read the bible in that mindset at the time.

Have you ever considered you may be high and just think you focus better.
Every one I have ever dealt with have a positive reason/excuse for doing what they do.
In the end, they will go to ever more deadly drugs as the simple joint does not bring the same feeling after a time.
I believe it should be outlawed and anyone selling it should go to prison.
That is my experience and opinion.

The only thing a person needs to understand the Bible is first trust Jesus as Savior, Ephesian 2:8-10.
The next thing is to spend much time in Prayer.
Next, put aside what you believe and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you through the Word.
One must know how to properly study. Proper grammar and the original meaning of every word in the Greek and Hebrew.
A good Greek and Hebrew Dictionary is essential.

Well it's safer than alcohol and nobody has yet died from it first off. Plus haven't thought of going towards any other drug.
Normally as an autistic woman I have indeed only been able at times read one verse here and there and get bored quickly and not understand what i have read what-so-ever..
Those nights on the edible.. I can read chapters upon chapters of the bible and not get bored one bit. I have even made notes about it.
So please do not say it drives people towards other drugs as i can say the same about Alcohol and Tobacco which have lead people to stealing stuff to feed their alcohol or Cigarette addiction.

Ezekiel 47:12
"And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.”

Don't fool yourself..
It is addictive.
The only reason it is legal in some states is because of the millions of dollars that are made by the growers, sellers, and politicians and they fool people into making them even richer.

Still Cigarettes and alcohol are far worse.
Take some people i know.. They have tried to ask me for $40 just to feed their cigarettes addiction before.
I've been doing Cannabis personally for 3 years now off and on and haven't once got addicted.
I only really use it on the nights i need the push to be more focused on something.

The leaves for healing is not to be smoked to make a person high.
Pot does not heal, period.
I have a son who thought as you do and in the end he used and sold cocaine.
Thank God, He found Jesus as Savior and walked away.

Your personal experience does not disqualify the medicinal properties of Cannabis.

If you say so.
I cannot understand why a child of God needs drugs that alter the mind to live from day to day,

Do the research. A vaporizer is the best way to imbibe. It doesn't burn the leaves the way other methods like pipes do.


Cannabis isn't addictive. People with addictive personalities can find themselves addicted to anything . However the properties in Cannabis are in and of themselves not addictive.

God made everything for a purpose.
Addicts and dealers don't undermine that.

there is sadly a lot of folks who just start out with weed and in the end getting mixed up with hard drugs..


thanks to the Lord for saving him!

If it's legal in your place of living it would not be sin, unless God is telling you not to do it. There has been testimonies in the past, before the legalization of marijuna that God said don't do it.

Smoking anything can cause severe damage to your lungs. I do know the scriptures say to stay sober. Being sober is better. If you overdose on thc it can cause schizophrenia, permanently. The more you smoke it the worse you get.

The consumption of THC slows your brain down. You cannot respond or think as fast. Proven by science.
