OPINION ON MARIJUANA IN THE BIBLE

Anti-marijuana fanatics have many opinions as to why marijuana is and should be illegal.  One of which is so commonly used in the South but is hardly, if ever argued against and that is the Christian/Biblical view.  Well, I have a theory or my own opinion on marijuana in the Bible.  First, keep in mind it was God and not man who put marijuana on this planet in the first place.

In Genesis 29-30 it is stated that God has given every green herb and herb bearing seed for the use and benefit of mankind as well as every animal on the Earth.  God clearly told Adam to make use of anything he wished in the garden except for that one specific tree.  If marijuana was here for the use of Adam before sin then wouldn't the plant be fine if used in moderation similar to the way wine is acceptable in moderation in the Bible?

Wine is man made, even more dangerous in mass quantities compared to marijuana has nowhere near the uses other than consumption that marijuana has.  Given that and the fact that marijuana is indeed green and an herb, I think it should start to be respected as it was placed here by someone far more wise than you or I could ever attempt to be.
