Religion and marijuana?

[Horsing]

For God sake it is only a leaf. Just like alcohol it is only water.

The Government should stop being a father to us.

"Are you for or against legalizing marijuana for recreational use?"
I am all for DE-criminalising ALL 'drugs'.

This is a truism in most modern societies..
Drugs that treat are good; drugs that transport are taboo.

Im a Buddhist and we are all about the mind and how we make decisions. One of our five rules is not being intoxicated because it changes our mind and behaviors and make bad decisions which break rules.

i dont agree with A class drugs like cocaine and heroine, but marijuana is natural. it comes from the earth and it puts people into a meditative state. look at the jamaicans. do you know how much weed they smoke? do you know how peaceful they are? im in australia,and in this town nimbin (NSW) people smoke it in public, in the street, in the local bars etc and the police turn a blind eye to it because there is never any violence. they are just relaxed and mellow towards everything, and there is never any trouble. if people want to out law it because its damaging to health, then why not outlaw cigarettes and alcohol? these have much more damaging effects to not only the users health, but to the people around them. cigarettes are the 2nd highest cause of death in this country, so why focus on outlawing weed before cigarettes?
