Religious Groups Call Drug War Immoral

True but you can also use those ancient texts it for some good stuff too such as getting cannabis legalised for religious use in your sect. Use the good old "freedom of religion" thing.

Good to hear 'bout Church of Sante Dame doin that with Aiyahuasca and Native American Church with Peyote...

I just wish we as individuals could say I don't belong to any organised religion but my own personal reglious belief is reefer is sacred or MDMA is sacred ect ect. and be able to use the "freedom of religion" thing. Pitty it isn't that easy as an individual...

I aggree with Terance Mckenna on this one. "the so called War on Drugs is a war on peoples values and beliefs"
 
You left off two words of Genesis 1:12, and they are at the end... They are ..."for food". Of course, if you get a literal Fundi you can have ALL kinds of fun with this. Taxol comes from a tree, is it food? Cures cancer. Penecillin comes from a mold which only grows on plants?

Pretty much the only group you can't get going on this are Christian Scientists, and they take this part seriously. They wont allow any treatment that doesn't fit that. Not the will of God..yadda..

The Philadelphia Quakers, one of the largest groups within the non-heirarchical denomination, signed on not because they share the view of Christians for Cannabis that drug use is a neutral issue, Jeavons said.

"Absolutely not. If you know anything about Quakers, you know we're a fairly conservative lot," he said. "However, we believe that there must be a better answer to the problem. We encourage our members to avoid these substances or use them in moderation."

Consulting Conscience

The Philadelphia Yearly Meeting formed a Drug Concerns Working Group in 1997, and in 1998 drew up a minute, or brief statement in early 1998. He said that the importance of the issue was reinforced when members took part in the so-called "shadow convention" held in conjunction with the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia in 2000.

The minute makes clear the Philadelphia Quakers' objections both to current drug policy and to drug abuse, and calls on Friends to do what they can to change that policy and to help others stop their misuse of drugs.

I was raised Quaker, and still participate in many Quaker events. In my experience, Quakers (Especially young ones) tend to be pretty big drug users. When I've been to Quaker youth events, a lot of people are always smoking, and many do harder stuff too. Hell, they were the ones who first got me into drugs. Quakers are conservative my ass...
