Not what you asked but there IS research that shows that some users can later suffer Mental Health problems. So, beware! |

OK, but according to Scripture, losing one's mind is not always a bad thing. The apostle Paul states, "When we are out of our minds, it is for God's sake. When we are in our right minds, it is for your sake." So if you mean to insult those who have gone out of their minds, you are ridculing all the prophets, Paul, Christ, Isaac Newton and many others of much greater position in this life (and in God's judgment in some instances) than your own. And we will all equally be judged based on our treatment or Christ and those he sent. So in your own words, be [careful]. |

Hi music: I think you are over-reacting to the comment by probono. He said "later suffer mental health problems" which can be quite different than out of your mind channelling or receiving revelation from God. I don't detect any inferene that Paul achieved out of his mind by substance abuse in that verse. A successful soul winner is slow to anger and far less judgemental. I more or less agree with the inference of the original question. It is likely that even some widely approved and frequently prescribed drugs do more harm than good on the average. Marijuana and THC are both likely in that rather small group of drugs, IMHO. Neil |

Of course I'm not speaking of going out of one's mind under the influence of marijuana! I'm talking specifically about the comment the respondent made. I wasn't upset over the comment. I'm merely commenting on the suggestion that I should, "beware", which seemed to imply that I might possibly go out of my mind, or am out of my mind. To that inference, I have gone out of my mind--on two occassions--but not towards any evil, rather towards Christ. The prophets and Paul and Newton went out of their minds toward good. I do not relate my temporary insanity (that's the literal Greek word used in the aforementioned passage of Scripture) to using marijuana over nine years ago, which the respondent suggested. My comment that we will be judged based on how we treat those who "go out of their minds" for Christ's sake is perfectly true, and it applies to me, you and everyone. ***MODERATOR: We are posting these comments under the category of medicine, and this context is immediately relevant to that subject, as Christ is the author of medicine, as is documented in Scripture. |

It's not legal for doctors to prescribe marijuana in the United States, though they may legally recommend it. http://cancer.about.com/cs/sideeffects/a/aa092601a.htm http://www.maryjanesgarden.com/medical_usage_laws_legalize.php However, it's legal in the Netherlands and a government agency supplies the drug to pharmacies. This was in the news last year. I didn't find an explicit statement that a doctor had prescribed it, but it seems likely from stories like this February 2004 one from the Detroit News: http://www.detnews.com/2004/health/0402/19/a10e-67766.htm Other news reports: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3196849.stm http://www.rnw.nl/hotspots/html/can030901.html http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/301/netherlands.shtml The web site of the Dutch Office of Medicinal Cannabis: http://www.cannabisbureau.nl/eng/index.html --efn |

There is an abundance of material available online about the medical benefits of THC. The Cannabis Reference Library has a link to 1 study specifically about glaucoma, as well as information about THC use for other conditions: http://www.druglibrary.org/crl/ Here is a link to NORML's page for medical marijuana patients. It will lead you to many sources of information about specific medical conditions: http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=4482 Very few marketed pharmaceuticals can match the benign risk/benefit ratio of THC. Adverse effects related to smoking can be avoided by ingesting THC in other ways. |
