EXACTLY!!!
But alcohol isn't gonna be illegal. Prohibition did not work.
And guess what? Prohibition isn't working for marijuana either!! In fact, although alcohol and tobacco used declined in high schools in the most recent study, marijuana used rised slighty. Millions upon millions of people smoke marijuana, and it needs to be regulated, just as alcohol is.

Yeap. Obviously it didn't make him an intelligent man, but he did attribute being able to develop some of his ideas to the use of marijuana.

Careful - Calling Christ "Allah" could get you stoned by certain people. 
considering islam, christianity and the jewish faith all pray to the same God, I dont know why anyone would be stoned....those faiths are like this post, just three different veiws on a subject.
Now as for the whole marijuana thing....its got to be just as widely used as cigarettes if not more. I wont compare cigarettes and pot any more than that though, cause they really arent alike. Give the laws another 10 years or so, attitudes will have changed so much by than theyll bring it back legally. Its like everything else, morphine, cocaine, they were once legal and widely used, now theyre EVIL! I say, legalize the pot, let governments regulate, grow, sell and tax it. Set rules for consumption, turn some of the revenue back into the healthcare, spend the freed up police resources for gun toting criminals and white collar crooks!

Because some people enjoy being high, despite their religious beliefs.

Is it possible than it's some of both. God created everything on earth, correct? So what would be wrong with Jesus using marijuana for healing purposes.
Not saying that's the way it was at all. And I don't think it really matters as it's the past and doesn't change my religious beliefs.

Marijuana in any consumable dose is not lethal. Alcohol is.
Marijuana can be consumed without smoking, drastically reducing any possible negative long term side effects.
Marijuana has not been proven to be chemically addictive. Alcohol has. I can vouch for this, I can smoke for a week or two every day and stop and have only a small feeling that I should be high. I can drink every day for two weeks, then stop and have DTs like crazy.
I was not going to post anything about this subject for several reasons not the least of which is the fact I'm a member of A.A. but your comment about DTs has prompted me to respond.
I have been through the DTs and it was not after stopping drinking after two weeks, it was after I stopped drinking after 31 years of drinking and I had quite for only one day. You my friend have not had the DTs.
By the way only 50% of people that get the DTs survive them.

When I said 2 weeks I wasn't being exact, my experience was more than two weeks, but less than 4 months.
I guess DT was the wrong term. Based on the definitions I've found, it's hard to say exactly what a DT would be. Some of what I found listed was sweating, increased pulse rate, irritability, anxiety, and lack of attention. This is what I was talking about,,,, I wasn't talking about the siezures and more severe changes.
In any case it pretty much sucked. And although I started feeling better in a matter of days, it was atleast a month until I felt 'right'. I was just trying to point out, that doesn't happen with marijuana.
