THE FRUIT OF MARIJUANA USAGE

Marijuana Slaves

Face it marijuana is overpriced. While many complain about the price of gas, there are those who will always afford a bag of grass. Despite the warnings of drug dependency or addiction, many have become slaves to the stuff.

A business in Maine is enticing citizens to pick up trash. "Bring us back the full trash bag, and we give them a gift of cannabis" Instead of giving the people cash to buy food for their families, they instead give them grass to smoke. The event to clean up the community was a mighty success. 100 trash bags were filled. The big part of gifting marijuana, it is falsely believed, is to make marijuana available to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford it. The truth of the matter is that once the poor get addicted, they will not be able to live without it.

Marijuana is a Killer

A young twenty year old man decided to try marijuana for the first time. According to Courier Mail in the AU, the man had a severe reaction to marijuana. He went into a panic attack and ran across an active train crossing and had a collision with a moving train. He died instantly. This makes you wonder how many in the workplace in America are making wrong decisions due to Marijuana intoxication. Most businesses will fire an employee high on pot, but still, they can't test everyone or prevent accidents from happening due to drug intoxication.

Killers on the Road

Driving on the road is hazardous enough, but now there are drug induced potheads loose on our roads. Washington's state new study on fatal crashes suggests fatal crashes have doubled since marijuana was legalized. "Marijuana use in driving is a growing, contributing factor to fatal crashes," said Jake Nelson, the director of traffic safety advocacy and research at the American Automobile Association (AAA) said. "It's a highway safety problem that we should all be concerned about."

Crime Rate Increase

Colorado's crime rate increased in 2016. Many experts blame the increase of auto thefts, rape, murder and robbery partly on the marijuana industry. I'm not deducing it, it is what the experts are saying:

"Some Colorado lawmakers, police and legal experts partly blame the marijuana industry, claiming that it has lured transients and criminals to the state. Others point to a dramatic increase in the number of cars stolen to commit other crimes or to ship to Mexico. Increases in crime are often a reflection of economic conditions, said Steve Davis, spokesman for the Lakewood Police Department.

'I think it would be naive not to believe the increase in drug use is not having an impact on the crime rate,' said Rep. Cole Wist, R-Centennial, who serves on the House Judiciary Committee. But Cole added that it’s not just marijuana that is having an impact on crime, but also an increase in the use of heroin and illegal prescription drugs."

This makes you wonder if heroin addiction and all the deaths contributed to opioids addiction might be the result of marijuana legalization. Many might believe that If marijuana is now good for the masses and is considered safe then why not opioids? If society lied about the evils of marijuana usage, then maybe they lied about opioids too. I believe society had it right the first time: Marijuana is a gateway drug to more harmful drugs.

"New research suggests that marijuana users may be more likely than nonusers to misuse prescription opioids and develop prescription opioid use disorder. The study was conducted by researchers at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health, and Columbia University."

It takes only a little common sense to know that we should ban marijuana usage once again. What little medical benefit that a sick person might receive does not justify its usage, especially as a pleasure drug.

Repent Yourself Back to Sanity 

Society needs to repent and turn back to God. Through God we can find true pain relief and joy without turning to drugs.

Dear God:

I turn from drug addiction to you Lord. Forgive all my sins in Jesus' name. Take me to Heaven when I die. I thank you God for saving me in Jesus' name. AMEN

PURITY IN WATER

PURITY IS IMPORTANT WITH GOD:

1 Timothy 4:12

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

Pure gold was used in the mercy seat and many instruments in the Temple of God:

Exodus 25:17

“And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.”

They didn't use mixed gold but pure gold. Today we have 14k gold which is 14 parts real gold and 10 parts other metals, or expressed as a percentage, 58% gold and 42% other stuff. 18k gold is 75% gold and 25% other junk.

Even the lamps in the Temple were to burn pure oil, and not some diluted or polluted junk:

Leviticus 24:2

“Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.”

If we were the Temple of God, which we really are, how much junk and impurities would or do you contain in your vessels? I wonder, do you drink pure water or is your water disgusting?

1 Corinthians 3:16

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”

My subject today is on pure water. The Bible has much to say about water, but let's look at the one passage that gives us the early Biblical sources for drinking water. The verse actually deals with unfaithfulness but it also gives us the methods that the early Jews or Christians used for getting their source of water:

Proverbs 5:15

“Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.”

Cistern:

"In the earliest times of the Bible, Cisterns were used to store water. They were usually pear shaped, and 15 to 20 feet deep, and the actual opening was only a 2 to 3 feet. There was usually a stone cover.

Cisterns were either large or small, large enough to store water for the community, or small and privately owned. Cisterns were like wells of water."

In ancient Israel the summer months were extremely dry, and during this time people dug and carved out for themselves cisterns out of the solid rock. These cisterns were like man-made reservoirs that would contain large amounts of water from the rain falls. Many times these cisterns would be covered in some way to keep debris away, and also to prevent accidents from happening. Since much of Jerusalem had a soft layer of limestone at the surface, it was convenient for the Israelites living in Jerusalem to carve many cisterns, especially since water was scarce in Jerusalem. In fact Jerusalem had plenty of water even during their long sieges because of the abundance of water. (Bible History.com)

It was very Biblical to drink rain water. Rain water used to be one of the purest forms of water. In the hydrologic cycle, water evaporates from the ocean in the form of water vapor and eventually returns to land and sea in the form of precipitation. I call this hydrologic cycle: the great distiller in the sky. Modern day distillers do the same thing but in smaller quantities.

As rain comes down it picks up pollutants. Radioactive particles are often feared to be in rain water since the radiating dust travels through the jet streams across the world and gets deposited. Since the pollutants are in the air, then they will also be in our drinking water. To be safe and Biblical, it would be better to distill your own water in order to have purest water.

RUNNING WATER WELLS:

Running water wells I believe is referring to Artesian wells. There is the difference between ordinary wells and Artesian. Spring water forced to the surface by elevated sources is artesian wells:

"Deep wells drilled into rock to intersect the water table and reaching far below it are often called artesian wells in ordinary conversation, but this is not necessarily a correct use of the term. Such deep wells may be just like ordinary, shallower wells; great depth alone does not automatically make them artesian wells. The word artesian, properly used, refers to situations where the water is confined under pressure below layers of relatively impermeable rock."

Ancient wells that were fed from underground springs which were moving were called by the ancients, "living waters."

THE COMMON WELL:

I believe most modern wells that tap into groundwater many not the best for drinking. Not all groundwater flows. Some groundwater gets trapped and becomes stagnant. The shallowest wells generally pump up water that originates in your own backyard. Deeper wells may get their water from within a few miles. If your backyard had been contaminated so might your drinking water.

MY RURAL WELL:

In my rural well I use a six month household filter. If I did not filter my water at the point of entry, it would plug up the small filters in my house from my sink to my washer machine. When I change the filter I found that it does stop a lot of sand and rust (steel well casing debris) from coming into the house. However, what passed throught my filter must not have been beneficial for health.

My muscular health started to deteriorate within months. I went from lifting two 35 lbs. weights to 5 lbs. weight in each hand. The pain in my tendons was excruciating. After my arms were disabled, my back and legs started flaring up with pain. It was painful just to get up out of a chair. When I finally prayed about it, God lead me to a video on distilled water. Before I even watched the video, I knew that it must be the water that was causing my ills.

Years of cleaning out my dog's bowl should have given me a hint as to why I needed to purify my water by distilling it. The white scale deposits that clings so tightly to the bowl should have been a warning as to what the water was doing to my body.

However, most experts say that hard water is good for you. I would like to give these so-called experts my hard water residue as an additive to their drinking water since they say it has health benefits.

THE MIRACLES

TENDON PAIN AND STIFFNESS:

Within a week of drinking distilled water, my tendonitis or stiffening of my muscles is subsiding. I am able to get up out of a chair without pain in my back and legs and I am back to lifting heavy weights. The one arm that I had pain for almost a year is completely healed. My right arm and shoulder still has a little pain when I move it sideways. It has been only two weeks and I am seeing results.

SKIN RASH:

This winter I had the worse skin rash. It literally felt like acid was on my skin. Everywhere my skin was hot; I started developing burning, itching skin. In only a few days of drinking distilled water my skin problems are gone.

PURE WATER GIVES BEAUTY:

Annette Larkins is now 74 years old and looks like she is forty. View some of her videos. She is an amazing person. She is a vegan that started drinking distilled water 40 years ago.

Whatever diet you are on, pure distilled water will benefit you. God Bless.
