So it's wrong to take vaccines or pharmaceutical medicines or have a blood test but yay for your country for legalising an intoxicating addictive drug. Joy.
Still a recreational drug whereas vaccines are still demonised
I don't think there is a contradiction in me deciding that.
Vaccines often have unclean foods and ingredients like monkey kidney tissue or insect pieces (larvae?). It's been awhile since I have been on the CDC page to check the exact ingredients, but in the USA vaccine ingredients are public information.
Also, the premise of vaccines and pharma medicines is that a new human made substance which has been made t is going to prevent or treat illness. It is non-organic chemistry, starting with elements in nature, but being restructured. The restructuring of carbon chains and other elements into something new has not been proven safe. This is also why I believe certain lotions and non-organic make up can cause skin cancer. The body doesn't have the coding to break it down because it isn't organic.
Whereas, on the other hand, marijuana, is a
seed bearing plant. The Torah says that seed bearing plants were given to all of life for sustaining their life. It says "food" or "meat" in a lot of translations but the Hebrew word is אָכְלָה, which also means "fuel". So, basically, something to keep you going (in my POV).
"Then Elohim said, “Here! Throughout the whole earth I am giving you as food[אָכְלָה] every seed-bearing plant and every tree with seed-bearing fruit" (Gen. 1:29) (CJB)
Growing up I was taught in school that "marijuana" is "bad". But in my 20s when I started to learn The Torah I realized marijuana is not bad, it is a seed bearing plant. Then I started learning about the benefits of THC for the endocrine system. I have one child who is legally "disabled" (due to medical malpractice) and I wrote congress for years to open up THC treatments for children in VA. I couldn't afford to move to Colorado.
I still haven't memorized all the difference in terms like Hemp, Marijuana, Cannabis, THC, CBD, etc.
& I still have to sort out all the different laws too. VA legalized
possession, not sure if that means you can actually use the drug in VA? Might mean you can just carry it on you? There are also limited legal medical reasons in VA for using it. It's confusing to sort out. And the medical dispensaries here require application fees that health insurance doesn't pay for, long trips to specialized doctors for permission and then trips to another building to get the medical marijuana. I'm hoping the decriminalization will be one step closer to full legalization so that everything is just a lot easier for families that need it.
But I do have nervous system issues that I believe could benefit from marijuana. I mean, c'mon, I have 6 children....I gotta take something! Right now, I just drink occasionally ...after 5pm.
Healthy, unhealthy, addictive, nonaddictive, none of that matters. If melinda wants to get high, and it's obvious she does, she'll turn her scrabbling little rat brain inside out to find a way to justify it. More than justify it, she'll find a way to claim getting stoned off your balls is downright holy.
The only hard and fast rule in Melinda's life is, as always, that whatever Melinda wants to do is holy and right.
I'm not so worried about getting high, that stuff can really burn your lungs. But I do believe the body has an endocrine system and people with nervous system issues like myself literally
need THC for medicine.
Does pot and schizophrenia mix? That's all we need. Or maybe it's why she's a schizo in the first place
Have you ever heard of the term "spiritual schizophrenia"?
According to Harvard marijuana can cause schizophrenia later in life. However they didn't bother to site their sources. Since the credibility of Harvard continues to fall every year I'd take what they have to say with a grain of salt. Schizophrenia has no known singular cause and has existed in humans well before we found drugs that could really fuck up our minds.
Such papers I've found on the matter have a lot of variables like potency of the drug, multiple drugs taken, age and sex, the numerous factors that cause you to have a risk of schizophrenia not drug related. One such paper showed a 1.6 or so percent chance of getting schizophrenia because of weed but failed to mention how often they smoked. Since you'd need to do it a lot (multiple times a day) chances are they already had many of the mental health issues related to getting schizophrenia before hand. It's more likely those with addictive personality disorder are more likely to become schizophrenics due to that since addiction and schizophrenia go hand in hand. That's the same with any form of addiction and major mental illness.
So, since you seem to have researched this issue, let me ask you something. Which theory of schizophrenia do you believe is correct: does isolation cause schizophrenia, or does schizophrenia cause isolation?
