“Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally on our planet. Don't you think it's a little... the idea of ​​pitting nature against the law? . . unnatural?" - Bill HicksWeed. Maria Jane. Pot. Marijuana. Weed. Drug. Cannabis. As the world progresses, particularly in the United States, people tend to be more socially accepting of taboos that would have been widely despised by many years ago. One of these taboos is marijuana. Today we consider marijuana not only socially accepted, but also morally. As my generation grows older, the use of marijuana becomes more evident in society drugs. As more and more states legalize, more and more people root for the cause. According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (Seven Things), Catholic social teachings value human life and the dignity of the person individual has the calling to protect all life and not to alter himself or others. The use of marijuana alters our ability to have logic and essentially free will, which God has given us. Therefore, the Catholic Church is against the use of marijuana to have the ability to live our lives righteously. In Romans 13:1, it says, “Let every soul be subject to higher powers, for there is no power except from God.” : and those who are, are ordained of God.”(Rom 13.1)“my brain is simply gone”Catholics believe that it is illegal to use drugs recreationally and consider it a sin. This passage presents the controversy over the use of marijuana. Explain that even as people become more tolerant of recreational marijuana use, God is against it. God created all things and ordered them, as good Catholics recognize, which...... middle of paper......n properties and abilities, also causes the destruction of the mind and body. Some believe that weed is the gateway to harder drugs. In the Bible, alcohol is neither a good nor a bad thing. A pleasure that is used for recreational purposes, as well as medical, but which is abused and damages the body. Jesus miraculously turned water into wine at the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-10) when the reception ended. The verses “Give strong drinks to those who are perishing, and wine to those whose hearts are heavy” (Proverbs 31:6-7). If the Bible mentions alcohol it has similar properties to that of the cannabis plant as both have altering capabilities. So is it possible that weed is accepted not only socially but also religiously and the question of whether it is morally right to smoke marijuana is not a question at all? “It balances my highs and my lows". “
