The Word Says …
⭕️ ⭕️
🔵 Your body belongs to God 🔵
🔵 1 Cor 3:9 🔵
🔵 For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building. 🔵
🔵 Present your body 🔵
🔵 Romans 12:1 🔵
🔵 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 🔵
🔵 A sacrifice to God. Sacrificing what you may want to do with it or use it for. It’s the reasonable thing to do. 🔵
🔵 God said to be Sober 🔵
🔵 1 Peter 5:8 🔵
🔵 [8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 🔵
🔵🔵 The goal of Marijuana is not to be sober. 🔵🔵

Common Sense says…
⭕️ ⭕️ ⭕️
⚫️ Don’t give the devil an inch ⚫️
⚫️ He lives to kill steal and destroy. His goal is to kill and destroy you. Why weaken your defenses so he can have easier access to you? ⚫️
⚫️ You don’t believe in the devil? That’s fine, how about devilish people? Why weaken your defenses so they can have a better chance against you or your family? It only takes one time. ⚫️
⚫️ Inhaling carcinogens are bad/ not awesome ⚫️
⚫️ It may make you feel good. Does that make it good for you? You trust the government to manage your health? Cigarettes are legal too. GMO’s are legal too. Fire itself is legal too. Alcohol is legal too and none of these have any nutritious value. ⚫️
⚫️ It is legal but not encouraged. The American Lung Association encourages the public against smoking marijuana and tobacco products. They give you things with a warning label on it. ⚫️
⚫️ Just like how cigarettes come with a surgeon’s warning label, something can be legal but discouraged. ⚫️
⚫️ Did you know that Marijuana affects your ability to have dreams? ⚫️
⚫️ So not only your ability to have dreams but also what type of dreams you do have when you actually have them. ⚫️

My Testimony…
⭕️ ⭕️ ⭕️ ⭕️ ⭕️
🔴 Why I quit #1 🔴
🔴 Point #1: Children don’t need drugs. Realized I lost something valuable that a mere child has. 🔴
🔴 Why I quit #2 🔴
🔴 Point #2: I don’t like things controlling me. 🔴
🔴 Why I quit #3 🔴
🔴 Point #3: Overwhelming leaders and visionaries of the past believed in healthy pure lifestyles to think clearly and they lived it. 🔴
🔴 They clearly built the society that we many times defile today. 🔴
🔴 How to be free? Put on Christ. 🔴
🔴 Remember Romans 13:13? 🔴
🔴 Verse 14 says, “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” Put on Jesus Christ. Take off your character and put on His. Put on His mindset, His values, His habits, His morals, His priorities.” 🔴

Answering Objections
⭕️ ⭕️ ⭕️ ⭕️ ⭕️ ⭕️
🔘 I don’t do it that much 🔘
🔘 Cancer usually takes 20-60 years to develop. 🔘
🔘 People smoke marijuana differently than cigarettes. They don’t smoke with a filter. So they are actually holding tar in their lungs longer than cigarette smokers which leads to a greater exposure per breath to tar. 🔘
🔘 It’s natural 🔘
🔘 That doesn’t make it good for your body. Mud is also natural but I wouldn’t smoke nor consume it though it may intoxicate or help me relax. Other natural things include: 🔘
🔵 Cocaine 🔵
🔵 Opium 🔵
🔵 Strict nine 🔵
🔵 Anthrax 🔵
🔵 Wood 🔵
🔵 Poison Ivy 🔵
🔵 Spiders 🔵
🔵 Literal weeds 🔵
🔵 Excrement 🔵
🔘 – something being natural doesn’t mean that you should put it in your body. 🔘
🔘 I vape / use a bong 🔘
🔘 Vaporizers heat marijuana below combustion point and does produce lower levels of tar. However, these devices also release ammonia which can cause irritation and central nervous system effects as well as asthma and bronchial spasms. 🔘
🔘 Bongs have been shown to hold equivalent amount of tar as a joint or paper form of consumption. 🔘
🔘 https://adai.uw.edu/marijuana/factsheets/respiratoryeffects.htm 🔘
🔘 Moses and the burning bush🔘
🔘 This is insulting to God and reveals very clearly that the person who suggests that this was even close the modern use of marijuana does not read the Bible but just wants to use The Holy Word of God for their own selfish causes 🔘
🔘 The Bible says plainly that this was a supernatural experience. It says that 🔘
🔘 Clearly that the bush was on fire before Moses got there. Moses did not start lighting up the bush 🔘
🔘 When God tells Moses to take off his sandals, He said that it because now that ground was Holy because God was there. Moses was not trying to get higher to God, but God had come down to speak to Moses. 🔘
🔘 God did not recommend that Moses try to convince Pharoah to let His people go by Moses setting a bush on fire in front of Pharoah. He gave him a different miracle signifying that this was not to be used for an ongoing example of God’s way, actions, nor choices. 🔘
🔘 Moses got a clear commandment from God and it was confirmed by miracles, signs , wonders, prophecy, impact and the submission of the very stubborn children of Israel. When has MaryJ EVER led to that type of result. 🔘
🔘 The Bible very clearly states that the bush was on fire but it was not consumed. When people light up Marijuana, it is always consumed. There is never a time where the plant is not changed by consumption of heat. 🔘
