Cannabis being legalized...
cjwood:
I have used medical marijuana off and on many times in the past. I am on disability for several chronic pain and spinal disorders, as well as depression. Say what you want, it DOES work for pain management. Since I live in Texas, the only condition that one could obtain a medical marijuana card for is epilepsy. Therefore I am unable to utilize it daily.
I have gone to God, my Father, in prayer often regarding my use of marijuana, instead of pharmaceutical pain medications. I used to go to a pain clinic several years ago. They put me on Fentanyl, Vicodin, Lyrica, and Cymbalta. I felt no pain, however, I felt nothing else either. I was in a daze most of the time and actually fainted once in my garage while home alone, due to the Fentanyl patch. Thank God my dog was with me and I came to with her licking and my face and pawing at me. I walked away from the pain clinic and started going to a holistic chiropractor. That became so expensive I had to stop going. It really didn't truly help me unless I went a few days a week.
Then a family member from California came to visit and let me try their medical marijuana which they had gotten legally due to their personal medical condition. I know that after partaking I didn't think about my pain. Not from being high, though I could feel the THC effect, but as if it just shut down the pain signals to my brain. It didn't mask the pain like all the prescription meds I had been on from my pain clinic docs. I was able to do chores, and even work in my yard without pain or exhaustion, while at the same time being careful not to overdo the physical activity. I take CBD oil and have been doing so for the past 5 yrs. It helps with alot of my medical issues. It works in a different way than medical marijuana due to the CBD oil not containing any of the THC.
I even bought CBD oil for one of our past forum members, John Chris who was suffering with ALS. He told me that he noticed improvement which made him very hopeful. However, when he had to go into nursing home care due to a couple of personal reasons, the caretakers would not allow him to bring the CBD oil with him. He was very upset about that, but knew that all is of God. Our brother succumbed to the disease and passed away in the nursing care facility.
Say what you want about marijuana, it does help with pain and even nausea. I am living proof. Done in moderation, according to the dosage, depending on your medical condition, it works very well.
All is of God. He knows my heart. He is my judge.
Love in Christ,

Weed causes me to evaluate myself from outside of my ego. It has served me well as a tool to identify and deal with issues ranging from anger to ignorance. Has made me more forgiving of others. A better, more patient husband and father.
It played a tremendous role in the opening of my eyes to the folly of the worlds church. It has been a tool that God used to eventually lead me to the truth found on this site.
But it’s only a tool (in my opinion). And just like any tool it can be used for good and bad.

I've used Cannabis for over 25 years and I’m not ashamed of that in anyway .....end of story!!!
John from Kentucky:
I have found that the Spirit of God and Scriptures give me a high.
God has blessed and guided me all my life.
Does anyone know what the Scriptures say about obeying the laws of the government that God has subjected you to?
rumpelstiltskin:
Pretty sure there is, something about obeying those that God puts over us - cant quote it but I think you’re right
