         When cigarettes are made, it is mixed with alcohol to extract the nicotine making it more potent. Alcohol mixed with tar makes the tar more dangerous and harder to extract by the body. This is the same mixture they use to make tar for the roads.
         So I stand by my opinion.
         Marijuana is very successful in stopping the formation of plaque in the brain of Multiple Sclerosis patients, therefore saving their lives.

               A recipe-specified combination of brightleaf, burley-leaf and oriental-leaf tobacco will be mixed with humectants (food additive or skin lotion.) such as propylene glycol or glycerol
               (propylene glycol is a liquid alcohol that is used as a solvent, in antifreeze, and in the food, plastics, and perfume industries.
               Glycerol is a colorless, sweet, viscous liquid formed as a byproduct in soap manufacture. It is used as an emollient and laxative, and for making explosives and antifreeze. • A trihydric alcohol; chem. formula: .) as well as flavouring products and enhancers such as cocoa and licorice, tobacco extracts, and various sugars, which are known collectively as "casings".
               
               The leaf tobacco will then be shredded, along with a specified amount of small laminate  expanded tobacco, BL, RL, ES and IS. A perfume-like flavour/fragrance, called the "topping" or "toppings",  will then be blended into the tobacco mixture to improve the consistency in flavour and taste of the cigarettes.
               
               As you can see, cigarettes are much worse then pot.

    God gave us this earth, and He put all the plants and animals on it for us, and He gave us dominion over these plants and animals, so why would it be a sin to use something that He gave us to begin with.  I dont believe that using herion is a sin, so the little dainty plant of many uses gets a green light here.
         When you hear things like pot heads are all going to hell. that would be some man judging others, which is not cool.  and also did you know that there is not one sin that is greater than another?  So telling a lie, stealing a candy, and murder are all the same in Gods eyes.

          I agree with everything that you have said. I will add though that If the head of the household were to sit around and get high every day instead of going to work and providing for his children this would not be appreciated by his family.
       
           His mommy would not want to blame the young man for not performing his duties so she would blame the drug. She would call taking drugs a sin.
           In reality he could stay home from work eating cookies all day and this also would not be appreciated by his family.
           More people neglect their duties while taking drugs than they do eating cookies.
           However putting this young man in jail does not help him with his obligations either.

    I think I have the answer...
    One of my neighbors loves his beer(I like mine to)and came to my New Years party with a case,so cool...
    I broke out my bong and offered him a hit.
    He said
    "No thanks I Don't smoke weed".
    curious I asked him Why?...
    "It Makes Me Think To Much"...
    Know I understand why the Govt hates it so much...
    Most folks think weed makes you stupid...

       Isn't that one of the reasons the former soviet union supposedly would pay people in vodka and gave vodka rations, because a drunk  is a placated citizenry.
       
       I feel that was one of the main reasons LSD was outlawed in 1966, it was instrumental in people questioning the government and the war as well as civil rights issues.

             see Earnest, we can agree on some things
             He was Irish but his name was Leary not O'Leary
             
             I have always found it intriguing that the substances that produce euphoria, opiates, cocaine, marijuana and the substances that can produce "spiritual" experiences, LSD, mushrooms, mescaline and marijuana, always seem to be the ones that are "demonized" the most by western culture. Funny considering that the last group I mentioned are relatively harmless physiologically.
             You will say it is because of the Judeao/Christian heritage of the Western culture and I would tend to agree with that.
             So I guess we agree on a few things, oh and you'll notice I now have a hub published and am working on the others in a series.

    Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
    I Corinthians 6:9-12 NKJV
    
    Don't let it consume you. It has healing, therapeutic properties. But I should never cause a brother to stumble and if your conscience convicts you God us greater. Repeated in Ch. 10.
    All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake; for “the earth is the Lord ’s, and all its fullness.” If any of those who do not believe invites you to  dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake. But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; for “the earth is the Lord ’s, and all its fullness.” “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the  food  over which I give thanks? Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
    I Corinthians 10:23-33 NKJV
