What does this relatively new discovery say about the verses in the Bible that seem to not only condone but promote its use? Ecclesiastes 9:7: "Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. Proverbs 31:6-7: "Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more." Psalm 104:15 "And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart". https://www.who.int/europe/news/item/04-01-2023-no-level-of-alcohol-consumption-is-safe-for-our-health

Alcohol is unsafe even in moderate amounts

I'm a proponent of legalizing pot...

Jul 12, 2025, 4:24 AM

even though it caused me to be lazy and unproductive in my late teens. I'm OK with it because this is America and I know that pot doesn't do everyone that way. I had a GF whose sister had cancer. The lady was doing chemotherapy and couldn't eat without throwing up. She was starving. The pot settled her stomach and she could eat and nourish her body.

That's not the only reason I think pot should be legalized. All the money we spend fighting drugs has had no real return. It's a market driven by demand whether or not the supply is sufficient. As long as we continue to make drugs illegal then the demand will remain higher than the drug users. It's clear our laws are only to serve those who make a living selling drugs and those who arrest them, lawyers who defend and prosecute them and the prison system which is so packed that child predators, rapist, murders and criminals who harm the innocent can get off easy.

I know, take it to the politics bored.

For the record: I didn't quit smoking pot because it made me lazy. I quit because I stopped enjoying being high. The day I felt shamed to God I realized whether or not He approved it didn't matter. Shame is a killer of an emotion. I don't feel ashamed about throwing back a couple beers.

I don't drink more than one because two makes my BP rise which seems like I'm suffering a hangover. Yes, I'm a light weight.
