I don't believe Jesus was using marijuana in the recreational way that most users use it today. I believe he was aware of its medicinal properties and used it as such. Because of this, I don't think that cannabis use in Biblical times should be used as an arguement for recreational marijuana use in modern times. It can however, be used as a valid arguement for medicinal use.


In any case, I think marijuana should be legalized. It needs to be regulated, it can create more jobs and tax revenue, and is much safer than alcohol.

I think legal marijuana's biggest detractor is the stereotypical pot head. Much of society believes that marijuana plays a major role in the pot head's laziness and other faults, when in fact, these people were already prone to laziness.

Also, the arguement that marijuana is a gateway drug is moot. Any easy to obtain drug can be considered a gateway drug. I believe tobacco/alcohol should be considered gateway drugs before marijuana. But without any of these substances, some other drug would be the gateway drug.

I feel that we'd be better off without any 'drug' (used solely for mind altering purposes), but obviously we have them. We need to make the best out of the situation, rather than push it off as just 'bad and illegal'.
