hould Christians get high and smoke pot? Should Christians Smoke Pot daily? How many people out there are high right now? How many people are high everyday and almost all the time?

1 - should they?.. if they want to.. yeah.
daily? if they want to then yes.
how many people.. MILLIONS per day consume cannabis in one form or another.
I smoke cannabis daily , I am self employed, work hard and have two children who i make sure not only get what they need but also the things that they want(within reason... last week my son wanted an M1A2 with TUSK{yes he was that specific}... i said no to that one!)
legalisation in Colorado has done WONDERS for the state, not just financially either but also as far as medicinal treatments go.
It also makes me piss laughing when in an attempt to "demonise' it you attach the Crowley name.
see below for links about Kanneh bosm... oh.. isn't that a phonetic relation to cannabis?... i think you'll find that's been shown to be true.....
BTW Shiva isn't Satan you UTTER Moron.

Movies and songs are telling young people to smoke pot.

Remember the theme song for the movie/tv series M.A.S.H.... it said ''suicide is painless'' .. and it was watched for many years by quite possibly hundreds of millions.... did loads of people start killing themselves? NO

If you are high from pot, is that the Holy Spirit?

simpletons may well thinks so... it's a simple chemical reaction that leads to a pleasant relaxed state mix with equal parts euphoria and grooviness..lol

Genesis 1:29-31

And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

THEN GOD SAID,
I GIVE YOU EVERY SEED-BEARING
PLANT ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE
EARTH, AND EVERY TREE THAT
HAS FRUIT IN IT."
GENESIS 1:29-30

Those words seem straightforward enough, and yet cannabis and most other psychoactive medicine plants are outlawed in our society. Those who use these plant gateways to other states of consciousness are jailed for doing so.

Ironically, the major force for continuing this plant prohibition is a group referred to as the Christian Right. They claim to believe in both the Bible and old Yahweh, yet Yahweh's opinion on the matter is stated quite clearly in the above quotation.

This article shows how the Old Testament Prophets were none other than ancient shamans, and that cannabis and other entheogens played a very prominent role in ancient Hebrew culture.
THE ROOTS OF KANEH-BOSM

The first solid evidence of the Hebrew use of cannabis was established in 1936 by Sula Benet, a little known Polish etymologist from the Institute of Anthropological Sciences in Warsaw.'

The word cannabis was generally thought to be of Scythian origin, but Benet showed that it has a much earlier origin in Semitic languages like Hebrew, and that it appears several times throughout the Old Testament. Benet explained that "in the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament there are references to hemp, both as incense, which was an integral part of religious celebration, and as an intoxicant."

Benet demonstrated that the word for cannabis is kaneh-bosm, also rendered in traditional Hebrew as kaneh or kannabus. The root kan in this construction means "reed" or "hemp", while bosm means "aromatic". This word appears five times in the Old Testament; in the books of Exodus, the Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.

The word kaneh-bosm has been mistranslated as calamus, a common marsh plant with little monetary value that does not have the qualities or value ascribed to kaneh-bosm. The error occurred in the oldest Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint
in the third century BC, and was repeated in the many translations that followed."

>>"Noting that "Yogis employed hashish? to obtain Samadhi, that oneness with the Universe," Crowley focussed on cannabis' ability to invoke different mental states..."

Salvia would probably get you a little more closer to home-base than Cannabis.

I love it when Christians want to chastise me for my smoking of the noble weed, as it usually contains references to invoking Satan. LOL!!! Read your bible much? Genesis Chapter 1 Verse 11-12.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
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.
25,000+ commercial products can be made just from this one plant, but the only thing anyone can talk about is smoking it, not that that is a bad thing. While the old oppressive guard is freaking out over the citizens rising up and legalizing it in my home state of Colorado and in Washington, and now Alaska and Oregon, none of the dire warnings predicted from it have occured. And actually, our crime rate has dropped, probably because they can't spend all of their time busting people for it instead of finding real law breakers. Oklahoma and Nebraska have filed a lawsuit against Colorado because they claim that our legalizing it harms their residents, however, marijuana related drug busts in their states are actually down. So, where is the harm?
And as far as it promoting laziness, etc., I have 2 jobs, one of which I'm on call for. Hasn't hurt me a bit. Try again.

was a dick to be frank. I refer you tro Easy's RESPONSE to that.
As for the 420 weekend.. i was there this year and it was a brilliant event, well planned and Denver is a FUCKING BRILLIANT city in my opinion. I love going there and that's bugger all to do with weed. I have great friends there and i'll be heading back this year to see my friends, DJ some thumpy goodness and generally have a funky time.
I notice YOU admit you having taken Salvia... have you also taken cannabis or any other "drugs"....
I suspect so.. you have already in the previous foprums admitted to drinking assloads and trying to cut down(a fine thing btw.. i rarely drink alcohol.. not because i am anti but because i have seem to have turned into a very occasional "tippler").,.. however... you seem to, from what you say, have DONE a lot of drinking on a daily basis topped off by wee tries at taking other substances..... what that makes you is a HYPOCRITE.

Your WILFUL lack of understanding is no surprise as fundie christians such as yourself have blinkers on that you happily places there yourself.
BTW link me to that place where you read about Kanneh Bosm.... i'd be very interested to read it and see if indeed it is a fundie christian source
