Question
i would like to know what the bible says on the topic of the plant marijuana.It clearly states in gensis chapter 1.11 all the seed bearing herbs to use as food(this is an abrivation of cause).this is the tip of the ice berge and i have found evidence(not just in the bible)of reference to a wonderful plant that was given to mankind to use. the marijuana plant has over 50,000 uses among them are food,clothing,fule,medicine,rope sails(aparently the world would not have discovered if not for hemp)art canvas,paints and varishes,lighting oils,building materials and many thousands more. what do you think the bible says of such a plant(a plant that has no equal in the world)do you think that this plant was given to us by god and if so why should i listen to the government, knowing gods laws are the laws for me to follow in this lifetime.

Answer
Hi,
Remembr, everything God made was good, we are the one who destroy everything... remember, everything is good if we know how to used it. everything we do in extreme is bad for us, even the good things.. as you wrote, marijuana is a plant the many many years ago was used it as a medicine plant, but the mind of men discover the can be use for something else . God didn't do anything bado for us. our sinner make everything bad... eje.. eating is good, right?
but what happen if you eat to much?... drink a wine is good for your stomach, but what happen when drink a lot?... you see.. we are the one who destroying this word.. and another thing. people arethis way... when someone told us not to do things, then we go right away a do it.. why?, cause the human kind is like that.... I recomende to you read the book of proverbs and you will see.  if we followthat book, we will be better persons.
