Cannabis

Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants that includes three different species, Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and Cannabis ruderalis. These three taxa are indigenous to Central and South Asia.

Cannabis has many different strains and does produce an oil that can be healing. Extracting that oil can be done in numerous ways which is as important as the oil itself.

Smoking it may produce different results which can be harmful. While the heat volatizes the oils and allows them and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to enter the blood quickly through the lungs they also change the oils and can alter the healing effects. The more volatile oils may enter the blood and the brain and cause what we call a high. This may differ in different people but some things are similar in every case.

The chemicals it produces can enter the brain and block pain but it can also block parts of the brain function where thought takes place and awareness may reside..

When the mind or part of it is shut down or access is cut off by the chemicals and oils you may get the feeling that you have your awareness heightened. Because part of your brain is shut down you may be able to focus on what is left and imagine a higher level of awareness but that is only taking place in part of your brain. The other part has gone dim or dark.

That dark place in your brain you are no longer noticing or aware of may leave you very exposed spiritually speaking. There are numerous studies that show the onset of psychosis is earlier in users of the drug especially among young people.

Female cannabis plants contain more than 60 cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD), thought to be the major anticonvulsant that helps multiple sclerosis patients; and cannabichromene (CBC), an anti-inflammatory which may contribute to the pain-killing effect of cannabis.

Many drugs may dull or relieve pain although they may produce different side effects. Cannabis' ability to dim part of the brain may help multiple sclerosis patients, relieve pain, cause Parkinson patience to stop shaking and help artistic people like musicians with active cortex calm the mental distractions of other parts of their brain allowing them to focus on the music or other mental pursuits without distractions.

As studies have shown there may be a reduction in the ability to plan, organize, solve problems which are usually done in particular parts of the brain. Activities that use those parts of the brain that used in making decisions may be neglected. Things you would have done may be put off or neglected altogether. Also individuals may become more impulsive showing patterns of less control over impulses that normally would be over ridden by demands of family, work and responsibility to community.

It also may leave you more vulnerable in the dim areas of your brain. Lots of drugs can do that. If you habitually drug your brain to obtain "peace" you may return to the drug to get the endorphins that are produced in the euphoric state. That is addiction.

The question is why are you not at peace already?

That might seem to be a callus question if we are dealing with a cancer patient or someone with severe back pain etc but it is always an important question if not an important part of our daily prayer.

The truth is listening to music or people talking in your headphones or just making up daydreams about the past or what you want to say or do are all part of that need to distract the brain. The brain is the tree of knowledge. It gives us a platform and screen on which to play out our lives in our minds eye. If we are dealing with guilt, anger , judgment we may feel a greater need or even compulsion to drug the brain, to get relief.

We should always approach such indulgence with a degree of wise and prudent caution and a measure of righteous restraint.

The outlawing of Cannabis is an abuse of nature and the liberty granted by God but the fact that they can make it illegal is because we have already rejected God .

With that in mind I must add that the abuse of Cannabis and many other things for personal pleasure or distraction which is all to common is a crime against God.

Where the line is drawn should be between you and the Holy Spirit.

Peace on your house,
