Okay I put this here because it's not about the issue of smoking the pot, but a question of what religion it's okay in...

There is a religion, I think it's a different sect of Christianity, that is okay with and is okay with smoking pot... The question is, what is it called? I can't find it anywhere on google, and can't remember for the life of me. Not urgent or anything, just somthing getting at me.

Thanks in advance.

Rastafarian perhaps?

Well, I can't think of any others.

But I'll post anyway.

Jesus poked smot.

No... it was a denomonation of christianity... it started with an L or a T maybe?

check the religion forums at hipforums.com.

I was reluctant to suggest another site at first, but you might find something interesting, or maybe even something you'd be looking for.

I hear that Budism is okay with most things. including smoking pot. Im not sure about a christian sect that allows smoking pot

I don't think any deity cares what's in your pipe.

Well, I don't think it's a majour sin in any religion, but most of the ones I've studied strongly look down on smoking anything in your pipe. A combination of destruction of your body and distraction of your mind.

Marijuana isn't as bad for you as you think. If the whole destruction of body and mind thing is true then you're all fucked for the shit that's in our food these days, not to mention soda.

hehe.

I'm glad somebody said it.

The only ones who are fucked are the ones who choose to abuse realilty, and put the shit you talk about into there brain. Soda, hard drugs, ect. Marijuana Is only Illegal because it is a gateway leading to people wanting harder drugs. Marijuana is a

That doesnt mean marijuana is not going to kill you, that only depends on how you choose to use it, The vaporizer and the knives and eating it are the healthyist, anything else will probably give you lung and throat cancer.

Marijane is legally controled, one of the natrual plants that heal the human body, such as other medicines, like pills. That people like to abuse everyday. It only matters if you choose to abuse the substance, and that is what the police officals are trying to cut down on.

yeah dick head and you know whats a gateway drug for marijuana..... cigarettes and alcohol even coffee. these things can be taxed marijuana can not. therefore its only illegal because the government can not make money off of it.

Maybe Buddhism is what you're looking for, did you know Jesus and his followers were actually a sect of buddhism? I forget the name for them but I read up on it before.

True Christianity has no problem with weed. Find me one verse stating otherwise. Its the stupid ass people who happen to go to chruch and think they are the shit and everyone else will rot in hell. there is no hell. there is NOTHING wrong with pot and the only reson its illegal is because of greedy ass government fucks, Who I would kill if I got the chance. I'm pissed off now.... Thank alot

Huh? There are more people addicted to Marijuana then what you think, Therefore they would be making more money off of it then coffee, and cigarettes.

^^ You mean psychological addiction, right? Because it is technicallly impossible to get physically addicted to marijuana.

Edit:

P.S. - Somewhere in the Scriptures it says that all plants serve a purpose, and what makes you a bad person is not what you take in, but what comes out of your mouth, or something like that.

Google "church of the universe"

Marijuana was made illegal in a racist attempt against mexicans, and minorities in general in the US. They basically did it to throw mexicans and black people in jail. Later on they started to profit from the black market they created, this is the reason why they won't legalize now.

Pots not a gateway drug, it's just more common than hard drugs, so the laws of probability predicts that pot is most likely to be your first illegal drug used.

I use it medicinally for stress, and insomnia. I smoke recreationally, but i'm not even close to being addicted. I can quit, I just don't see a reason too. I've tried other drugs such as Salvia, LSD, and mushrooms, but not before exstensively researching all of them. I'm not abusing anything, i'm merely accessing parts of my brain that aren't accessable without drugs. I use drugs as tools to strengthen friendship or center myself spriritually, and solve inner problems to develope my character and improve my life. Does this sound like abuse, or the medicinal and responsible use of drugs? How do the drug laws accomadate for responsible users like myself.

The thing about prohibitionists is that they're the type of people who only see the price, not the value.

in my religion it's ok 2 smoke pot actually it's a right of passage if u'd like 2 know more just ask

correct (well, actually, cocaine was made illegal to deal with the blacks more than marijuana, also and opium was to deal with the chinese (so they couldn't work for long hours)

Church Of The Universe

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Universe

I believe in some sort of my own beliefs, organized from rasta, christianity, buddhism, jewish, and jsut my own opnion. I pause for the cause almost everyday. I work 40 hours a week plus, I have a social life. I do it cause I like it and It dosent hurt anyone.

As for religons, im not sure. I get my culture from other countries, rasta, bohem, egypt, and middle eastern.

back on track, im reading martin booths marijuanna a history. it has opened my eyes to religous practices and marijuanna. I recomend it, its a great read.

im also reading

electric kool aid acid test.

GATEWAY.

Its not a gateway drug, and its not addicting. I have smoked pot for 4 years The only reason I do other drugs is to better my self. It helps me reflect on my beliefs, and my problems. Me and my girlfriend smoke and talk about religon, and the universe. We also talk about god.

I do other drugs because I want to not because I need a higher high. I can smoke a shitload of weed, even smoke myself sober.

I love to mix drugs, and religon, and sex.

pot came with jazz and mexicans brought it later. cocaine was made illegal when it infultrated the youth. opimum was chinese, but the orient in general.

have you smoked pot? dont judge. they can tax shit that comes in, EX coffee. coffee comes from south america and jamacia. thats why they have taxes on it.

You cant tax marijuanna. Why? because its a naturaly occouring plant that grows well in most areas. America actualy cultivated it for rope, and george washington had a peaked intrest in Indica, a strain which is not good for rope due to its size.

Why? I have noooo clue.

Sit down and shut the fuck up. Canabis has had a bad rap because of religon.



EDIT how do you define addicted? I can and have gone with out pot for months, ITs because I didnt want it, i never felt a need to smoke.

its not good, eating at mcdonalds is probably worse, anyways, teh only reason i quit weed is cause it was affecting my mind. i'd be bored out of my mind if i wasn't high, i would be skydiving and bored. also, the only thing i though abotu was making 10 bucks for the night.

But by the same token you could argue that TV, the internet, and pop culture are addictive.
