High for Christ

Full story: notaboutreligion.com

Exercising one’s first amendment right to freedom of religion can be a tricky thing…especially when your form of worship consists of lighting up a joint in the name of God.

So, this kind of religion is legalizing cannabis to their worship. They have 12 reasons why it's vital. They are like rock stars, musicians, artist consuming this thing to make them high allowing them to increase their performance and even using the name of spiritual elevation and God. We cannot deny that the consumption of drugs is very expensive. The more the intake, the more spending. While they are under the influence of drugs they are living in fantasy. It's not the reality, after all.

In that case, their followers are also consuming drugs. Under the motto, "Follow the leader". I'm afraid, everybody attending the ceremony will get high!!!

If they are tolerating it; then the drug addicts have excuses...

God has done NOTHING for me. I'm done--no more "pie in the sky by-and-by." It's all make-believe.

What about Native American faiths of the south west.From earliest recorded time, peyote has been used by Native American Tribal Groups, native to or relocated to the Southern Plains States of Oklahoma and Texas. Should we tell them that they cant use there Drugs as part of rituals of thrir religion.

Of course we should tell them that the only sacraments are Nabisco Saltines and Welch's grape juice---duh! What's wrong with you!!??? BTW, you can't use REAL wine because the Baptists HATE alcohol, even though the Bible clearly says Jesus partook of it.

Then, it's an opportunity for the drug addicts to go to their church to have a free joint...

Peyote is from a small spineless cactus that you eat not smoke.

Biological Psychiatry (2005) outlines research by Dr. John Halpern into peyote.Showed that Psychological and Cognitive Effects of Peyote Use Among Native Americans found that Peyote users (who used if in there faith) scored significantly better than non-users on the general positive affect and psychological well-being. They were also much less likely to be alcohol abusers.

Many thanks for the link "Tickedoffchick"! But they do really need drugs for religious ceremony? Do they really need it to find God? As we all know, illicit drugs are dangerous there are disadvantages that could bring ruin and destructions to a man physically, mentally and emotionally.

Any kind of illegal drugs for high, eaten or smoked "Want To be A Hindu"; if abused is dangerous not only for the health but also mentally and emotioally.

If you can spend more time at home with your family in the coming days, you'll be glad you did. In the immortal words of Dorothy: 'There's no place like home!'
