Christians, did God put cannabis on the Earth to tempt you?

The Tale of blue honey

It's summer.
The sun is high up and blazing hot.
The little magic mushrooms that used to appear
in the cow pastures down the road have dried up and gone away.

For that matter so has your grass connection,
and all that you're left with is sandpaper leaf
that leaves a static edge on your head.

The mellow highs of the rainy season
are now just so many jasmine-of-your-mind memories.
Dreams from another time.

The butterfly mushroom that opened the doors of perception
in the springtime are but lost keys in the heat of summer.

You tried drying the little fungi,
but the magic is lost in the process,
and freezing turns them to mush.

What to do?

The answer comes to us born on the winds of time.
Kosmic, karmic trade winds from an ancient Mayan past.

To save the magic, all one needs to do is immerse those morsels
in raw honey and stash them in a cool, shady place,
and let osmosis do its thing.

The honey will first turn amber,
then a deep blue-black color
indicating that the honey has become psychoactive.

At this point it is time to strain out the mushrooms from the honey.
Use the mushrooms to make a psychedelic snack,
And store the honey in a tightly capped glass jar.

The honey has now taken on the magic,
and properly stored will retain it for several months.

Come summer when the mushrooms have
disappeared from the field, it doesn’t matter.

There, in the cupboard, is the honey pot,
full to the brim with "Blue Honey"
Shades of Pooh Bear and Van Morrison.

A couple of teaspoons in your tea or coffee,
and one or two to sweeten your cinnamon toast,
and its time to keep an appointment with God.

well fuck that pretty much says how you can treat and find psilocybin's.

I've been a practicing christian for my whole life. (only 18years but still) I personally don't believe that marijuana is a sin. It is a plant that has been around for thousands of years and has never killed anyone. It is only becomes sinful when sloth or gluttony take place because of it or if it damages those close to you.

Sykes: I would actually have to disagree with you here. I don't believe God created things like opiates and cocaine. While he did create the poppy flower and the coca leaf it was man that chemically created cocaine (quite a few chemicals are necessary to obtain cocaine) and opium/morphine/codeine/etc. If it is not found directly in nature God did not create it. That is my personal view.

God also created. Tobbacco, Opiates, Mushrooms, Cocaine etc, list goes on.

God did not create cocaine. Man created it.

I am 15 years old and have been raised in a Christian Conservative home all my life. My dad and Mom don't know that i smoke, and i'm sure that they would go through the roof if they found out, and i can't stand their views on cannabis. I have Conservative political views, and i am a Christian. I believe Marijuana is not a sin unless it becomes an idol. If it is said in 1 Timothy 5:23 "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your often infirmities." , Why would smoking a little weed be wrong? Weed sometimes gives me a little perspective, helps me see things for what they really are. So to answer your question, no he did not. People can be tempted to spend all of their time smoking, talking about weed, studying weed, then it could become an idol. Same as alcohol. God does not tempt us, Satan tempts us, we are tempted by sin, etc. Sorry if i threw you guys off a little? I'm not high so this might not sound as good as if i were.

I'm a catholic and don't think of smoking as sinful

God put marijuana here on this earth, and it is good.

who cares if hes not real. The idea of him has helped many people. People are scared of death, believing that you will be in total ecstasy when you die calms their mind.
