Is Cannabis sinful if it helps focus?

[Daisy2]

Marijuana and THC vapes are highly unregulated and not held to strict standardization.
Not to mention all the other chemicals in it.

Just because someone claims a specific dose amount does not make it true....because it is unregulated and unmonitored. There are no safety or quality checks.

Even baby aspirin has a dozen more safety, purity, and standardization protocols than this stuff....same with vitamin C tablets.

There is zero regulation....

EVERY supplement and candy on the drug store shelf including hair shampoo to sunscreen has standards to meet.

But not Marijuana.

That right there should be screaming that something is wrong.

There's more FDA standards applied to a pack of chewing gum than Marijuana. The testing of chewing gum gum involving thousands of test people, data monitors, and etc....
But not one serious study on THC concerning quality control and adverse reactions.
EVERY SUPPLIMENT AND MEDICATION goes through all sorts of testing before release on the market but not Marijuana.

This should be front row center of Conspiracy theories right there. But not a word Is ever said. And that in itself is very very scary.

Why are you not asking "WHY?".

They have violated EVERY safety protocol, refused to enact standardization, and given zero adverse effects but made it available to be used.

That should be a clue that something nefarious is going on.

In the U.S, pesticide contamination in cannabis is a significant concern. studies in California found that more than half of legal cannabis products tested contain hidden, often toxic pesticides, including some banned chemicals at levels far above EPA limits. This problem affects not only cannabis flowers but also products like vape cartridges, where about a third contain unapproved substances such as pymetrozine. Because cannabis remains federally illegal, there are no federal pesticide standards, leaving regulation to individual states, whose enforcement varies. This regulatory gap, combined with high contamination in the illegal market, means a substantial portion of U.S. cannabis is sprayed with or tainted by pesticides like Roundup and other harmful chemicals

As a ex mental health nurse I can tell you of numerous young people I looked after that had psychosis as a result of smoking dope.

That is sad, it is worrisome how dismissive people can be about the effects of these substances on the body.

Anything that will impair the prefrontal cortex of the brain function is going to be extremely dangerous.

Brutal March 2025 study on cannabis use, heart attacks and strokes, and all-cause mortality: Cannabis users were 6x as likely to have heart attacks AFTER matching for preexisting conditions. 6x. Oh, and 50% more likely to die from any cause. 50000 US cannabis deaths may be low.

Oooooh, so THAT'S when it will happen!

Better make sure I've packed my toothbrush. And my favorite laptop. All the other laptops I have can go hang. They don't have anywhere CLOSE to the video card my best one has.

Why would you believe you meet His requirements?

Why would you believe you meet His requirements?

No amount of sanctification can provide any justification.

Faith is faith....either Jesus is our model for life or He is not. No trial balloons, no tip toe.....all in or not at all.

Chickens give eggs and claim they contributed to breakfast....the bacon from a pig is full commitment.

That's why bacon is always tastier than eggs.

The covenant of salt , which is symbolic of zeal, is the necessary part of our offerings. If salt loses its savor it is good for nothing but to be trod upon.

There is a school of thought that His coming might coincide with a Hebrew feast. Interesting concept.

I made a bet with myself that you would say something like that.

I won.

Of course, since the bet was with myself, I also lost. But ah well.

Never thought of His truth and guidance as a "concept"?
Holy Spirit confirms this, ask Him, He always guides in truth.

There are two reasons I don't think it will happen in late September, 2025.

1. You think it will. (No, this isn't a matter of "You say it will so I automatically don't believe it because it's YOU who says it!) I don't think Jesus will return on a day that people are pointing to and yelling "THIS IS IT!!!" There's a lot of stuff in the Bible - coming as a thief in the night, such an hour as you think not, no man knows the day or the hour - that strongly indicates Jesus will not come on a day people are expecting him.

In fact one could argue that Jesus will specifically avoid that time, just because y'all are hollering he will come back then.

2. God has made me a personal promise and it has not happened yet. If it is gonna happen before late September this year, we need to get moving here Lord.

So... What are your plans for September 26th? Gonna have a backyard barbecue?

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.

Pot is not good for a lot of people. The effects on the Human Brain sometimes show up in your mid 40s as personality disorders.
Let me give you the Thai perspective and my own personal thoughts.
Here in Thailand "Weed" has been used as Medicine for thousands of years. In 2022 it was made legal here without any restrictions accept Fines for public smoking, same as tobacco. Just this week the Thai Govt announced that a doctors prescription will be needed to smoke weed. Older people use Thai Pot to make teas for joints and such.
I was in the Hospital 3 times for Congenital Pancreatitis in the last two years. In the Hospital I got Morphine every 6 hrs for pain. Outside the Hospital I didnt get anything. So last Year after my second bought I was in Chiang Mai at a Hotel waiting to see a Specialist for a second Opinion(Private Hospital) and I saw a Pot shop in the Hotel. I was in a lot of pain so I thought Id try it. So I went in the shop and looked around at some "Primo Buds" Cherry Garcia, Bruce Banner and my old friend from the 70s "Thai Stick" all Preroll Joints. I bought 6 joints for around 20 USD. I remembered a warning I heard on the radio that said "This is Not the 70s Weed you remember, this is bred by guys in Lab Coats with clipboards Go easy". so I take a Hit off Thai Stick and it was everything I remembered. In 10 Minutes the pain was tolerable. My wife kept me in Watermelon Smoothies and Lays sour creme and Onion Chips for side effects. 3 hours in the pain is coming back, so I take a Big Hit of Bruce Banner. 5 minutes and the pain is gone. The sun is going down, the Outside Bar is filling up and its time for my Favorite Hobby, People watching. Our Close friend has joined us at our table in front of the Hotel. I take another Hit and then I remembered that Bruce Banner wasnt Eddies Father in "The Courtship Of Eddies Father" he was "The Hulk" and now Im getting Body Rushes, Im laughing, my wife and our close friend are telling me funny stories from thier childhood school days. They think Im laughing at thier stories, Im not. My face is Melting. Good time had by all. I was sitting out there nodding off Couch Locked till 2 AM.

He has answered my petition of "Pain be gone in Jesus name", and we know what He does for one He will do for another.
The Fathers love and compassion for us exceed our understanding, it is His very nature we be well and whole. Seems this may not take away our salvation, can you serve Him 24/7/365 whole off in the ozone?
best wishes, friend

Chapter Two
So the next day after googling a lot, I figured to try Gummies. 10 MG Indicia Grape from Cali. I eat a Half wait one hour, not much, eat the other half 10 MG. Wait an hour, starting to get pain relief, so I eat another 10 MG. Wait an Hour and it hits. Full pain relief. Still need smoothies and munchies though.
Since then The Doctors have Given me a Narcotic Pain Pill for lighter pain and I now have Morphine at Home. The Doc said that if the pill does not work you can still take the Morphine without a reaction.
I still use Gummies for the days when the Pain is Lower, but there are times when I use Morphine sparingly every 4 hrs. I need to keep that at minimum for the end. I never know when its going to come. Ive gone 2 weeks without meds and the pain wasnt bad.
This condition will end my life, no one knows when, we just manage the pain when it comes. I use Gummies for Light Pain Meds. I dont have an opinion on Recreational Use being sin as I stay out of those things and let God handle it. Mainly because everybody has God working in an area of their life at His choice. If a person says they have a problem and asks me for help I will help. Can Recreational Use be Sin? Yes So can Food Booze and anything else. Does Pot have side effects? Yes you can google all of it along with beneficial effects for Medical Conditions. I personally dont Recreationally use anything to Alter my Mood these days.
What Ive read about Weed is that the side effects build up over time and lead too bad Health problems like Cancer and Lung Problems so I wouldnt smoke it. In Tea or as Edibles' it works as Medicine.

Know anything about CBD? It is supposed to be good for pain without the THC.

Yes I have CBD Oil from Bangkok. It did show in a study that CBD lowered the Pancreatic Swelling in Rats, it didnt do anything for me except help with sleep sometimes. Thats another problem with Congenital Pancreatitis. it keeps me awake till 4 am some nights, no pain just insomnia and Inching, I have a Pill for that too. Im a member of a Pot Forum called 420. Its International and most of it is about Medicinal Weed, growing and Edibles recipes. I used to grow till the laws started to change here. we were allowed to cultivate 50 plants per Household. I grew CBD, For CBD to be effective(absorbed by the Endocrine System) it must have THC as a Carrier. This is Broad Spectrum CBD When I retired two months before coming here, I gave up my Security Clearence so I could use CBD . There are certain things even Meds that will cause revocation of a Security Clearence. Thats why I never admitted to PTSD. God Healed me just this year. No more Nightmares and sweats perfect Peace from the Past. I can even Joke about it now. Yeah I was a Mess and I dont know how I functioned as a Bible Teacher, to God Be The Glory.

Ive not read it will happen on a feast day or which one or what year. All ive read is that nobody knows the hour or the day but the Father. As said, its an interesting concept.

 

[shittim]

The "No one knows the hour" is for His return, the Harpazo, or taking away of His Own, He does not return but comes in the clouds to call His Own, taking them away from the tribulation. The second coming He actually comes to the Mount of Olives.
I have not read either, thousands have received His guidance and direction on this.
Take it to the Lord, those who do are receiving His confirmation.
