Cannabis and religion

I believe there are a few religions that use marijuana as a sacriment.

Rastifarianism often uses cannabis as a sacriment, but not all rastifarians use cannabis.

I have also heard there are natives in Africa who worship cannabis, but under which religion I am not sure of.

There are those who believe that Jesus Christ used cannabis oil to heal people. There are actualy a few refrences in the bible on how to make cannabis oil and use it as a medicine. There is evidence to back this up as well.

I wouldnt be supprised if there were sects of buddhism and hinduism that use marijuana as a sacriment, after all, Tibet and India are the places where marijuana was first known to grow!
 
Atheists don't necessarily have to deny the possibility of a God, just not believe in any God. I'm atheist, and I won't tell you that there can't be a God, just that I don't have any reason to believe in one.

It's pretty simple... "theist" means "with God", "atheist" means "without God". I am without God, therefore I am an atheist.
 
I don't think smoking weed and christanity go together very well. I mean your trying to say that by sinning you feel like prasing the lord and loving God. Prasing the Lord when your high sounds like somthing only an idiot would think is Good. It doesn't sound like smoking tree is somthing that God would really think is prayerful and faithful, but i guess thats why he gave us free will. As for me, being put through a catholic school since the age of 10, I despise Catholisim.
 
Atheism is DISbelief. Kthx

Yes, they do.. in the definitive sense. Atheism, in broad terms, is the disbelief in any existence of dieties.. whether that be the absence of a belief of god or the belief that no gods exist.

You sir, are agnostic.. which can also fall under the umbrella of atheist.

AHEM ... back on topic. Yes, as Nietzsche points out, christianity denies the individual quite a bit, and I'm glad the original poster uses cannabis as a positive spiritual catalyst. The ritual use of such drugs may very well have played significant roles in early religion (if not the only reason they exist).

PRAISE THE LORD! :D

Please explain why you think that smoking cannabis is "sinning".

Judging people for their beliefs and lifestyles sounds like something only a close-minded bigot would think is a good idea.

I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood, but did you just correct me and go on to tell me that I'm right?

I didn't say that an atheist can't deny the possibility of God, just that all you need in order to be an atheist is not to believe in a God.
 
Christanity in general is based off what is morally good. Now smoking tree isn't morally good. Sin is determined by various factors, Knowledge, Voluntariness, and Circumstances would be the best to describe this situation. Majority of people Know smoking weed isn't good. Voluntariness would be whether a person knew what they did is wrong and they chose to do it. And the circumstances in which they did it. From this explanation it dosn't sound like someone was forcing someone to do it. Now it could very well not be as sinful if astherushcomes had no idea that what he was doing was wrong. When it comes to Voluntariness even if you didn't know it was wrong, if you later find out that it was, then doing it again would be sinful. And I don't judge anyone based on anything. So your right i was wrong for calling him an idiot. I mean if this thread was serious about him thinking smoking weed is a form of "Prasing the Lord" then he has the free will to chose and do so. And no, i haven't talked to God for a long time, but im constantly having to learn things about religion. The context I said that in was wrong, Ive never asked God anything recently. Now this information is based off what ive learned, and through ones faith your supposed to believe it is true. When it comes down to it, its your own choice to believe it. But when it comes to Christanity your "faith" is supposed to help guide you in understanding what God thinks is good. I personally don't believe in any of it so I am not backing it up by any means. This is just what is supposed to be morally good in the eyes of God, according to the teachings of christanity. (which in and of it self could be inncorrect)
 
^ Smoking ganjah is good and benificial. The moral reason that it is bad or perceived to be bad is based in part on religious doctrines that have replaced the raw experience of divinity brought out by psychoactive plants.

I can honestly tell you I know that smoking marijuana is good for me.

Lets not hijack this thread. Perhaps this question will get us back on track:

For the athiests: Does smoking marijuana increase your athiesim?
 
well hold that for a sec

i dont think smoking in and of itself is a way of praising the lord. it just opens me up to doing it and realizing it and understanding things more. you reely need to understand christianity to realize that all sins come from an original sin. every 'type' of sin is due to hiding from god, which in my understanding is the effect of lying to god by eating from the tree. this is metaphorical. if you use the word truth, or love, in place of god there you can realize that its just hiding from the truth, or you could call it making a lie. your changing what people can clearly see as reality to something that is thought of a completly twisted origin. everything eles can be boiled down to this concept. imidiatly after this comes fear. and that along with misunderstanding is the oposite of god. everything that comes from this form of thinking or spirit (lucifer) taken by our mind and taken action on by physicaly comiting your body to carry out (or not carry out) an action brought about by this thought would be sin. smoking weed can be sinful, it just depends on your intentions (your heart). God gives you a new heart. but its still a daily strugle to listen to God u kno. if you smoke to learn a new point of view to better your understanding of things, and achieve that state without manipulating your body chemestry in an atempt to make yourself a better person, or as something to help rid fear from people, opening them up and becoming closer friends, etc.. would be in line with Gods word, you cant contradict the truth, and sometimes that relies completly with your intentions.

Why is smoking cannabis not good? Because someone said so? It pisses me off when people twist religion for what it used to be into a new religion with rules that they just made. I believe in following what The Bible says, and not what some guys who make up false rules say , saying what is sinful and what is not.

This is what the bible says about cannabis.

God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth....to you it will be for meat.... And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. (Genesis 1:29-31)

The Lord said ..Afore harvest, when the bud is perfect and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks and take away and cut down the branches. (Isaiah 18:4-5)

Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty; (Exodus 30:23)

^The "fragrant cane" that is written above has been construed by scholars to mean cannabis.

For some odd reason I feel a connection to Islam when I'm high. I listen to the Quran recited and such, I find it extremely comforting and beautiful. Then again, I do that when I'm sober as well.

That's the only way we know you G.

I'm not an expert on any religion but I don't think Islam approves smoking, anything that intoxicates the mind is bad. Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
i think all herbs were put on this earth to be comsumed by humans. i believe in "god" but i don't have any particular religion. weed grows organically, and you can take right off the plant and smoke it. you can't do that with any other drug. everything else goes through a process (besides mushrooms, but those aren't herbs anyway). marijuana is a sacrement and it is, without a doubt, meant to be smoked. when i smoke it i realize how corrupt the world is, i realize that if ganja was just legalized and tollerated, we would be much more peaceful. i also use it to meditate and i definitely feel it brings me closer to the creator. if it brings you closer to god then use it, don't worry about it. it's not a drug, anyway. it's an organic herb.

a book that talks a lot about ganja and god is a book called 'Rasta Heart'. rastas understand why ganja was put here and they use it to it's full advantage. lol
 
^^^

There is significant controversy within the Islamic community over whether pot and other psychoactives are haraam (forbidden) or not. The Quranic verse that is cited as evidence that they are literally forbids only fermented grapes; thus, according to a strict literal interpretation, even alcohols other than wine are okay. Others interpret this verse as banning all substances which 'cloud the mind.' Even within this community, there is disagreement over whether all psychoactives are necessarily 'clouding' of the mind; some feel that the effects of plants like cannabis are more akin to an opening or expanding of the mind.
 
I'm not going to argue that a dude named jesus walked on water and rose from the dead, but if you do believe in God, you have to wonder why he/she would put weed on the earth if it wasn't meant to be smoked.
