Marijuana is often mislabeled as an addictive "drug" catetgorized along with cocaine, methamphetamine, etc.  There is a vast difference however. Marijuana is God's plant, grown in his soil, and nothing is added. Cocaine comes from the coca plant, true, but is polluted and turned into a harmful and addictive poison.
                                                                                                              Why would God create this plant for it to be shunned and illegalized? This has had beneficial, theraputic results for mankind since this earth was created.

   DEA is in a constant battle against the owners of this plant, just so they can resell it from a pharmacy and make profit.

Poison Ivy is also natural, made by God.

The vehicle you drive, which was constructed by man, with God made materials is very beneficial in our every day lives.  

I am not sure that you have a valid point that if it is natural, it is beneficial and good for us.

Good point, Ebenezer, God made Poison Ivy, and Cacti and Scorpions...
Just because God made it does not mean he wants us to use it. No doubt we may be able to use hemp for many purposes, but certainly not as a hallucinagenic drug. When you take something, regardless of what it is, if you modifies your perception or alters your thinking, it leaves you open to satanic influence.


If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
(I Corinthians 3:17, KJV)


I can not find the verse I wanted to use and I did a quick search on google and boy oh boy has the devil done his work on this subject! It seems every preacher in the world thinks marijuana is great... lol
It may not be harmful, which I don't agree with, nonetheless it is a perception altering drug, which is forbidden.

Poison Ivy- Has been known to cure paralysis, acute rheumatism, and articular stiffness. The fluid extract in small doses it is an excellent sedative to the nervous system.

Cacti- The prickly pear cactus' fruit is quite tasty and can be used to make juices and preserves. The saguaro can absorb up to 200 gallons of water in a single rainstorm; its seeds can be cooked and eaten or turned into flour.

Scorpions- The poison extracted from the scorpions has a neutral pH, is water soluble, and has a high degree of both acidic and basic carbohydrates, amino acids, enzymes and polypeptides, all of which are used to make medicine to treat uterine, breast and lung cancer.

I argue your point and say that yes, God made things and intended for us to use them.

Genesis 1:12 -And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
