Alcohol is legal as a Holy Sacrament, the weed is not

[mopaul]

i don't think jesus would've begrudged me enjoying a good smoke, in fact, i read recently that the oil he often annointed people with was cannibus oil.

you wouldn't take wine out of the catholic church's holy sacrament, yet many religions who claim the herb as a holy sacrament, are denied it's use.

when the hell is america going to get over the movie 'reefer madness'?

5. funny

but really, i know about two dozen people who attend church regularly AND smoke dope.

it's not a conflict to them, as it would be to some zealots.

8. I Think Both Are Silly

But people have been eating their gods for ever, and I don't begrudge them.

Outlawing the use of a plant is just stupid, especially when it can bring relief to so many, and simple enjoyment to many others.

2. There's that old joke where the cardinals meet with a rep from KFC.

They work out a deal. Then they approach the Pope and tell him, we've got good news and bad news. The good news is that chicken is going to be the new sacrament. The bad news is we will lose the WonderBread account.

6. It's criminal

to deny the people of the world the use of a plant that is so versatile.

Aside from the potent form of hemp, the legalization of Industrial Hemp will be the only way we can easily and quickly survive Peak Oil. Soon the government and Big Oil will no longer have a choice in the matter. It will become suicidal not to turn to hemp, to solve our energy problems.

10. Farmers used to "have" to grow it. And then along came William

R. Hearst and our draconian drug laws. All meant to rid us of the wicked, evil weed and to protect his timber empire and the empires of his other rich and well heeled friends in oil.

7. You can argue the "weed as sacrement" thing in court.

I know people that have done it and won.

9. Think about it this way.....................................

If the average joe can grow medicine in the backyard, plant matter for bio diesel, fiber material for clothing, and pulp matter for livestock food. How much money would be lost to the government in the form of taxes? Money to corporate big interests? It isn't about the buzz factor......it is all about the money. Dems and reps are all in on it.
