31. If you are a believer, and your use of the word "sin" indicates that
you are, you have to recognize the fact that your creator also created plants like poppies and cannabis that carefully target receptors in our nervous systems and help relieve the suffering in this life.

How arrogant is it to ban part of creation because a few bitter and self centered Puritans are terrified that someone won't suffer as much as they do? How utterly futile is it to insist the rest of us wring as much misery as possible out of life be rejecting what our creator gave to us to alleviate it?

It seems too many people go around trying to label other people, places and things as "sinful." Perhaps we'd all be better served if they realized "sin" ended at the surface of their own skin, and we're not their job.
