They had mandrakes in Gen. 30:14-16. They thought it helped fertility. Atropine was the derivative of it. Its been used for everything from an epidural for child birth to the antidote for chemical poisoning. Still that doesn't mean every household should have a supply.

Gun powder can be used for blowing out stumps so you can farm or it can be used for ill gain annihilating your noisome neighbor.

The trick is to control the abuse of any of them without removing the rights of everyone reaping the good benefits from any of them. Our rights are all linked together. We will be seeing more of that as time goes by. Some say Jesus wouldn't make wine because he wouldn't make anything to harm us. Then there are those who say he wouldn't take a life and hurt a fish as in eating meat. Actually it amounts to anti-God, why would God put a tree in the middle of the Garden knowing full well if man eat from it would result in death? They never consider that Adam was warned and had a choice to just leave it alone.

All most anything can and will be abused by some.

It seems to me that medicine is only medicine if its helping and not just adding to the problem. Sadly when its left to the individual there will be some and perhaps many that go the wrong way and only add to their problems and those flow over on to those around them.

Toxic, even small amounts can cause permanent blindness. Lethal in larger amounts.

I will admit that ive smoked my fair share of Marijuana back in the day (18-25) and I couldn't tell you if it had any good effects, but i did a lot of eating and laughing

First I'd like yo see the reference to cannabis in the anointing oil, its simply not there, english,, greek, or hebrew, second, Rev., 9:21, and they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries..... the greek word originally written and translated "sorceries" is the word pharmakia. You figure it out, it is condemned there and other places as the treason of rebellion.

I have read where that women used their sorcery to sedate (or worse) the Nephilim and their off spring when they were chasing after the daughters of men.

Didn’t read through the comments but LSD was given as meds…doesn’t make it right, lol.

Here is a recipe:

Exodus 30:22-25 NKJV
Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: “Also take for yourself quality spices—five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane, five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.

I don't see any Mary J in it. However the myrrh was used as embalming fluid.
We had a mortician here a few years ago got put out of business for selling embalming fluid for the making of meth or something.

What is cannabis?

Amazon knows all and sees all. I guess.

Wet Dog, I am not a Pot smoker and if they are doing it at home that is on them. Absolutely none of my Business. Just like my still and Corn Liquor is none of anyone elses. If they are under the influence of Anything then they should not be driving or working and should not be the one doing it around our kids. That goes for ANY kind of Narcotic.

Exodus 30:30-35
New International Version

30 “Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them so they may serve me as priests. 31 Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil for the generations to come. 32 Do not pour it on anyone else’s body and do not make any other oil using the same formula. It is sacred, and you are to consider it sacred. 33 Whoever makes perfume like it and puts it on anyone other than a priest must be cut off from their people.’”

So whats the interpretation of verse #32 & #33.

How are you going to prevent people from being stupid?

That about sums it up, Randall.

You really can't but we as a society have to have boundaries. When stupid crosses that line then drop the boom on them.

Currently we deem pot use to be stupid in most areas.

The ingredients in hebrew are as follows, including the strongs reference numbers, #4753 Mor = myrrh : #7076 qinnimon = cinnimon : #7070 quaneh = calumus #6916 qiddah = cassia. This information is brought to by someone who has studied the text first hand, not from some online source with a secret agenda, believe what you want, but i bring you the truth. Sincerely Rev. Dr., Brian R. Lee
