IMO it all depends on how you use a drug, for medical purposes, yes - if your careful, the same w/ alchohol. didn't doctors use it in the olden days? but if you want to legalize marijuhana just to smoke it or alchohol just to drink it then, no.

ur right gynovia that doctors did use it in the olden days, they actually still use it today. The thing is that most "Illegal drugs" were initially discovered for medicine. So as a prescriptioned medicine i am fine with those drugs.

Canada just legalized a THC pain relever.
But Say you live a stressed life, would a little recreational use to calm your nerves now and then qualify as abuse or therapy?

If it was prescribed by a doctor then I'm definitely fine with it being used for therapy, but i don't think it should just be on the shelves, because some might (there's always that chance) use it as abuse.

Actually, it is affected by steak. Marajhuana and drugs in general have more of a capability to kill you.
But then again, everything in moderation, the Bible says!

Marijuana is something that you can get addicted to. It is a form of sorcery or witchcraft, along with all other types of drugs, that can be lethal.
I think that only in very, very specific situations should marijuana even be used as a medication, and certainly not for "recreation and therapy."

I see....well no one has ever died from THC. It is impossible to overdose on it, thus it can't kill you. If you lace it with some evil drug.....well duh, then it can.

Besides abstaining from drugs for the sake of keeping alive and your body healthy, we must also take into account the effect it has on your mind and your relationship with God. Honestly, besides very strict purposes of health, there is absolutely no reason to take any drugs whatsoever.

Oh, and Sudafed is used in making Methahetpmine- or meth.
Nasty stuff, that.

I'm for it. I mean, we've legalized alcohol. Alcohol is a far worse factor in modern day problems. For example, most car crashes are due to alcohol abuse.
It is really strange in my view, that most countries prohibit drugs like marijuhana and allow alcohol. Alcohol makes people very agressive, marijuhana makes people quiet (in general).
Not to say that drugs are good. If it becomes an addiction (which is a very real danger when one is using drugs like marijuhana), then they get in the way with your relationship with God.
I don't think we should prohibit drugs on a medical basis. everything is bad for you eventually. Like Torc said, on those grounds we should ban food, too.

Interestingly enough, the government, a long time ago, passed a Constitutional Amendment to ban sale of alcohol. The uproar was so huge they had to repeal the amendment. The legalization of alcohol, something you've already said to be bad, certainly should not justify the legalizing of something far more addictive.

I was just saying that I find it really strange that drugs are prohibited while alcohol is allowed, even though it has very negative effects on society.

I think there isn't a law against alcohol because for as many people who abuse it, there are just as many people who have one or two in the evening before they go to bed.

Hmmm that's true... I myself am an occasional 'user' of alcohol, whereas there are no occasional drugsusers.
The effects of overly usage are severe with both, though.

There are occasional drug users.
A drug is something that 'fakes' your receptors.
Caffeine, morphine, LSD, mushrooms, they all do that to you.

Obviously you've never seen me without my caffeine in the morning. Or, in 'that time of the moon' without chocolate. Believe me, I would rip your head from your shoulders if you had a chocolate bar. So yes, they are as addictive, but fewer side affects of withdrawal. (headaches, lethargy, in extreme cases depression)
But I can't IMAGINE being addicted to Mushrooms- the ones that make you hallucinate also make you puke.
Morphine is EXTREMELY addictive- as is Heroin or other poppy extracts.
The 'club drug' is less addictive, but can kill you.
Also, there are two kinds of addiction. Psychological and physiological-
Psychological is you need the drug to make you feel better- you must have it! (withdrawal is depression etc)
Physiological is, without the drug, you feel sick. In extreme cases (alcohol withdrawal) death ensues. In less extreme cases, the person acts as though they are ON the drug, while in reality they are withdrawing.
