I'm posting this blog to make my stand, regardless of what the outcome is by the government. Anything put into the lungs is unhealthy, and dangerous to your heart and lungs. I've read articles that gave examples of marijuana causing tumors and cancers of the esophagus, brain, and other parts of the body. I know the medical field is now eliminating and altering facts because they are in with the government to get it legalized.
The dangers of having to drive on the roads with those who are stoned on marijuana and drugs is just as dangerous as those who are drunk on alcohol. Those of us who don't have any say in the laws being changed will have to live with the hazards, and drive accordingly.
The images posted here along with some excerpts and quotes from some articles will speak for themselves.
What does God think of marijuana use, and any form of abuse to the body?
Man was formed in the image of God, we are to glorify Him in all we do.
1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
But, when people desire and crave something-even when they know it's wrong, dangerous, or will cause damage to them physically, they will tune it out, refuse to listen, and put their heads in the sand. What God says or thinks-most people do not want to hear.
Am I condemning anyone for this? No, simply stating the truth. I went through my own hell, when addicted to alcohol-I know what it's like to be chained and bound.
I now know what it's like to have lived free from bondage, for 40 years now, and I wouldn't trade places for anything. Jesus can set you free, if you will let Him. This is being posted with a prayer, that it will save someone's life.
The majority of society wants this and the medical field has sold out to those who are working to get it legalized. I went through multiple pages of articles, and over a dozen videos, and could find only the few below that spoke with any accurate information about the adverse effects of marijuana-and it wasn't as in-depth as the ones I and a friend completed in the 80's with the research and information we had found. I didn't keep the report we made, and regret it. It had medical articles and videos that I cannot find on the internet now. The links to articles posted below in this blog are full of contradictions, and a sad lack of real data, but I'm posting them because they were the only ones I found with any accuracy. The video posted below was the best I could find with any truthful information. Almost everything that came up in the search engine was disinformation, promoting it's "medical benefits", and general statements of opinion with no hard data to make an intelligent decision. I do not believe their claims that there's no clinical proof from tests, it is now no longer available. My opinion, I have a right to it.
