Unbelievers the world over look to chemical highs for peace they will never find without Jesus.

Did Jesus make people high?
If not, perhaps that would boost his popularity.
As it is, more people on this planet know more about Coca-Cola than Jesus, even though Coca-Cola is only 139 years old.
You'd expect better results than this from someone who was omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent.

According to very bad theologians, the 'Beatles was more famouser than Jesus.'

Canada:
Medical Cannabis Improves Chronic Pain / Anxiety / Depression
February 12, 2026
.​

"Patients authorized to use medical cannabis products experience sustained improvements in their pain, anxiety, depression, and quality of life, according to observational data published in the Canadian Journal of Pain.
.
Researchers assessed the real-world effectiveness of cannabis products in a cohort of 139 Canadian patients authorized to use medical cannabis. (Nearly 200,000 Canadians are currently registered in Canada’s medical cannabis access program.) Patients’ symptoms were assessed at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 weeks."

Plant-Derived THC Extracts Reduce Fibromyalgia-Related Pain
February 19, 2026
.​

"Fibromyalgia (FM) patients suffering from treatment-resistant pain experience therapeutic benefits following the daily use of plant-derived cannabis extracts, according to observational data published in the Journal of Anesthesia, Analgesia, and Critical Care.
.
Italian investigators assessed the safety and efficacy of THC-dominant cannabis extracts in a cohort of 65 FM patients. Study participants, on average, had lived with the disease for seven years and were generally unresponsive to conventional pharmacological therapies. Patients in the study administered THC extracts three times daily for six months."

According to very bad theologians, the 'Beatles was more famouser than Jesus.'

One of the Beatles said this because he was surprised at the huge popularity his group encountered in the US.
And to many people, they were more popular. For one thing, they told people when and where they were going to appear, and they did appear when and where they promised.
Not so with Jesus.

Jesus came to save sinners, not make them addicted to substances and pleasures.

Jesus came to save sinners, not make them addicted to substances and pleasures.

You need to read the Bible, because you are ignorant.
Jesus came as a Jewish reformer who said that he had come to see that all the Jewish commandments were kept, because in a very short time, God was going to wipe out everyone who was ruling the world and would take over himself. Jesus told his disciples to preach only to Jews, and not to pagans or even Samaritans, who were heretics.

Jesus had nothing to say about opiates or marijuana.

If Jesus did not encourage substance abuse, then nobody can say God encouraged them to support abuse and addiction.

 

[Gabriel_Bell]

Jesus expressed no opinion ever about marijuana.
I think Jah thinks it is a good idea to smoke marijuana.

As with alcohol and religion, one should not allow oneself to become addicted to marijuana.

I have no doubt that some or all false gods support substance abuse and mind-altering insanity.

Does marijuana alter anyone's mind? I see no evidence of that. It heightens the senses, it can make you sleepy, it produces more interesting dreams for some.

The only thing it seems to alter is the thought that marijuana ought to be classified as a dangerous drug. Since it isn't.

If you have not tried it, you know nothing about it and should STFU about it.

How Repeated Marijuana Use Affects the Brain​

Repeated marijuana use — especially heavy or early use — can have lasting effects on brain structure, function, and cognition.

Short-term effects
Even recent use can impair thinking, attention, memory, coordination, movement, and time perception CDC. These effects are due to THC’s action on the brain’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates memory, learning, attention, decision-making, and emotion Marijuana Doctors.

Long-term effects
Chronic use, particularly in adolescence, can disrupt brain development because the brain continues to mature until around age 25 CDC. Studies show that early cannabis use (before age 18) may affect how neural connections form for attention, memory, and learning CDC.

Cognitive and structural changes

• Midlife studies found that long-term, heavy cannabis users (using at least weekly for years) had smaller hippocampi — the brain region critical for learning and memory — and lower IQ scores compared to non-users Harvard Health.
• MRI research shows reduced brain activity during working memory tasks in both heavy lifetime users and recent users, linked to poorer performance on focus, problem-solving, and instruction-following SciTechDaily.
• These impairments can persist even after stopping use, though the extent varies by age of first use, frequency, and THC concentration CDC+1.

Why the effects differ by age
Adolescent brains are more vulnerable because synaptic pruning and myelination are still ongoing. THC can interfere with these processes, potentially leading to permanent changes in brain structure and function CDC+1.

Factors influencing impact

• THC concentration: Higher THC levels (common in modern cannabis products) increase risk Harvard Health.
• Frequency and duration: Heavy, long-term use correlates with greater cognitive deficits Harvard Health+1.
• Age of first use: Earlier onset is linked to more pronounced and lasting effects CDC.
• Other substances: Concurrent use of alcohol or tobacco can worsen outcomes CDC.

Key takeaway
Repeated marijuana use, especially in youth, can alter brain development, reduce hippocampal volume, impair working memory and attention, and lower cognitive performance. While some effects may be reversible with abstinence, others — particularly in adolescents — may be long-lasting. The risk is higher with high-THC products, frequent use, and early initiation CDC+3.

Study:
Lifetime Cannabis Use Not Associated With Cognitive Decline Or
Dementia Risk In Older Adults
March 4, 2026
.​

"Cannabis use by older adults is not associated with either accelerated cognitive decline or greater risk of dementia, according to findings published in the journal BMJ Mental Health.
.
Investigators affiliated with Yale University and the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom assessed cognitive performance in lifetime cannabis consumers and non-users across various domains — including memory, intelligence, and problem solving. Data was drawn from two large nationally representative cohorts (the UK Biobank and the US Million Veteran Program), consisting of several hundred thousand participants.
.
Researchers reported that those with a history of cannabis use “demonstrated significantly better cognitive performance,” a finding that is consistent with prior studies."
