You went to dig baseless facts that are not germane to my post in an attempt to sound well informed and current. Does it make it right by any standard? The fact that other states and countries have taken to it doesn't make it right? Smoking in general sense is globally condemned as it wields grave health consequences. Marijuana might have other uses, but we both know to a fault of the lethal harm it poses.

World power countries can legalise it for all I care, it doesn't make it right.

Be Educated - Free Yourself From Mental Slavery

The Biblical Text Used to Support the Use of Cannabis.

Purportedly the Bible supports the use of all the various seeds and herbs because they were created and blessed by God and could not be wrong to use. Consequently, the plant called hemp is proper for Christians to use for food, medicine, and enjoyment (Gen. 1:12).2 In Genesis 1:29–31, the Bible further indicates that all herbs are given for food.3 Much is made about the statement, found in the KJV, which supposedly speaks of hemp being the plant spoken of in Ezekiel 34:29, called a “plant of renown,” which would heal (Rev. 22:1–2).

Yet this evening you will go to a bar & order a bottle of beer.

Is alcohol an intoxicant?

Yes or No

Cannabis is first and foremost an intoxicant. Then it has the mini side of curing medical issues like stds, losing weight, muscle issues etc. When you (or they) say procressed and graded-THEY ARE PROCESSED AND GRADED AS AN INTOXICANT (from yr pics).

And true. They dont need me teaching them their laws. Thats why we will tune CNN and see how they handle their laws dying daily.

Are you afraid I will think you have sniffed some cannabis in secret? cheesy Was that why you added the disclaimer? wink

Anyway, I saw a few of my classmates getting high on marijuana in the university, so I have seen how quickly it can cause people to experience altered states of reality, faster than tobacco even does. The nicotine in tobacco causes addiction, yes. But from my observation, marijuana gets people more high, than tobacco can ever do. sad

To benefit from the THC and CBD (i.e. cannabidiol) in marijuana, the plant has to be processed into oils and supplements, in order to extract the THC or CBD. Smoking or sniffing marijuana will not deposit the THC or CBD in a usable form, in the smoker. undecided While THC is psychoactive, CBD is not.

The above highlighted portion of your comment are contradictory.

THC is the psychoactive substance that causes the high in smokers as you rightly indicated.....which means, THC gets into their body via smoking. Many medical marijuana prescriptions are not oil based and not made into supplements.

Nigeria is a mess. It's not news. The point is that we ( especially people like you) all look up to the US as the perfect nation, forgetting they also have their down side.

Nigeria may be sh!tty to you, but on some bases we are better than them. Unlike them, we have moral respect.



At bolded, do they write it on the face?

For mental stamina? ... Seriously? Then, they should legalize d0pe in general! And for people of all ages.

Look at the happiness on their faces as if they have won jackpots! A country that legalized samesex marriage, gave unhampered will for youths and the petty underage to carry guns and cause mass murder here and there and now, a state in the country just legalized the smoking of a substance that wields the potency to cause insanity when taken over a long period of time. What a country!

This post is so full of ignorance, tell me where you got the information that states that marijuana causes insanity over a long period of time.

Complete nonsense of the ignorant.

Funny thing is you reveal your own ignorance and yet call other people ignorant. I can bet the claims about your friends is a lie you fabricated. Educate yourself about Marijuana. Marijuana, like most drugs (including our regular prescription drugs like ordinary paracetamol), is addictive. 9% of users are addicted. But alcohol (15% of users are addicted) and tobacco (35% of users are addicted) are more addictive. Even worse is that withdrawal symptoms with stopping marijuana use is far less severe that experienced with quitting the use of alcohol. An alcoholic has a far harder time trying to overcome his addiction that a marijuana user and the withdrawal symptoms for an alcoholic can be fatal. All these info are easy to find with real research rather than spewing virtue-signalling nonsense against marijuana like it is scientific fact.

And no, countries like Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, India, Israel, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain etc which have legalized possession are not overrun with drug wars. And they're not dying daily. Dogs and animals have better healthcare in some of those countries than Nigerians do. So keep on dreaming.

The Bible mentions fruits, herbs, and crops. There is no mention of the word 'Hemp" in any of the Bible verses you quoted here. undecided

There are different kinds of herbs in the world. sad Some are good and fit for nutrition, and can even serve medicinal purposes. Others are poisonous or toxic, and capable of endangering the human body. Please be guided and make a careful distinction between both sets of herbs.

Yup, obviously there would be struggle at first but eventually they'll accept change and live with it.

You think the present government is okay with what's going on? They just have to cave in to the public's demands.

They realized Marijuana is a Multi-billion dollar industry, banning it doesn't still stop people from smoking it regardless. So why not give in to the demands and tap revenues from Government approved Marijuana??

That's business sense alone.


Now let's talk about the numerous health benefits of Marijuana.
Hope you can see from the pictures, the old and pregnant people on the line?? Do you think they don't know what they are doing there?

Kindly research more on Marijuana.


NB: Did you know the worldwide ban on Marijuana was a Massive Propaganda by the Oil Moguls during the Oil Boom??


Please read all I typed and also research deeply to understand that some things aren't just what the world tells you it is.

their pretentious Atitude has no comparison. there are more mentally ill people in nigeria than california even though marijuana is not legal in nigeria.

experts, Neuro psychologist and top Doctors has confirmed that the use of Marijuana does more good to people's healths than Alchohol, Alchohol kills more than marijuana, it isn't the use of marijuana that is the problem, it is the Abuse of it.

some doctors prescribe marijuana laced tablets to help with their back pain, chronic pains and Arthritic pains.

Also if you put marijuana in a jar with some rubbing alcohol and let it marinate for a couple of days it makes a great rub for body aches and pain
