Medical Marijuana versus Terry Schiavo
Mmm, they sure seem to want the suffering to suffer as much as possible. And to be responsible for the decisions that enforce it.

Culture of life. Suffering is mandatory. /rant

1. Isn't it amazing how their tiny, twisted minds work?
These people are detached from reality or they are willfully ignoring it.

5. They probably resent reality.
They might be suffering, and as such, childishly want everyone else to do so as well. If they have to...

There are of course paths out of pain. In this culture, you have to search for them. Culture of life not having them well-advertised and such. "The other faiths" etc.

2. What about that song
"One toke over the line, sweet Jesus." What Would Jesus Smoke?

3. Jesus healed with cannabis
This is not my favorite tangent because it is something from 2000 years ago. But Chris Bennett of pot-tv wrote a book on the subject. This video at pot-tv has a link at the bottom to more video- http://pot.tv/archive/shows/pottvshowse-394.html

THCMinistries- http://tinyurl.com/a9smv - talks about cannabis in the annointing oil and they take that formula seriously. You see annointing oil discussed in several threads in this forum section at THCMinistries- http://www.thc-ministry.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=29&sid=ff5b2d1f23d3870a5f7d2a0829d983ca

6. not to far from Baptists
I know some genuine Rasta from Jamaica; the religion is essentially Baptist Christianity. I have a problem with the anti-gay stance, but then nothing is perfect.

7. You obviously didn't read the SCOTUS decision...
....or anything about the case itself. Pity. If you had, you would understand that the case wasn't about whether or not marijuana should be legalized for medical use, but about what governmental entity has the authority to make that decision. I have good reason to hate the fact that it was a correct decision constitutionally, but it was. Look it up.

9. Thanks for the love.
;-)

Lots of decisions are made which respect the letter of the law, but not the spirit of the law. Bottom line, needless suffering is increased and who is to blame? This is akin to taking candy from babies, but far, far worse.

What are you doing about this issue? I'm posting perspective and hoping to engage in positive discussion (not discursion).

Remember, governmental entities had the right to call George Bush "President" after he stole an election. They had the authority, and again, we all suffer.

You're supposed to live as long as they can make you with medical science being what it is, and suffer as much as possible--because you are a DAMN SINNER :evilfrown:
