Islam's view on Marijuana
-
"They ask you about intoxicants and gambling. Say ?In them is great harm, and a benefit for the people; but their harm is greater than their benefit.? And they ask you how much are they to give, Say ?The excess.? It is thus that God clarifies for you the revelations that you may think." (2219)
Bro Layth's article on Alcohol is quite fitting on this subject. Good exposition. I guess it would be the same for intoxicants such as marijuana.
Peace,
Respectfully.Well said, i totally forgot about this verse but it fits, AlhamdilAllah, Thank God, Hvala Bogu.
God bless you.Peace.

c0de,
does cannabis clouds ones mind or not, it depends.
different people are influenced by energys differently.for example, there are on Earth many places, which have powerful energyfields.
if spiritual person with pure thoughts visits such place, s/he may experience very positive spiritual experience.
while sceptics may feel no difference or have a bad experience.such energies magnify what is within.
its all about energies anyway. if you go deep into human cell, the smallest thing you have is vibration.our earthly experiences are different.
for example, these are different experiences if one uses synthetic narcotic substances or one doesnt use them.
with chemical interventions in labs new substances born. While God given substances and psychedelics are safe, man made may not be.btw, in Greek psyche - soul ja deloo - expose
psychedelia - exposing soul -
our earthly experiences are different.
for example, these are different experiences if one uses synthetic narcotic substances or one doesnt use them.
with chemical interventions in labs new substances born. While God given substances and psychedelics are safe, man made may not be.Ok... did you even read the last post? Are you paying attention? I gave you MULTIPLE examples of natural God given substances which cloud the intellect Opium, Cocaine, and all the alcoholic drinks for example. This has nothing to do with the "naturalness" of substances.
does cannabis clouds ones mind or not, it depends.
different people are influenced by energys differently.No, it doesn't "depend"... And it has nothing to do with relative influences. It clouds the intellect of EVERYONE in equal proportion. A "spiritual" person is less "spiritual" when high, and a stupid person is even more stupid when stoned. No one gets smarter or more "spiritual" on weed.
for example, there are on Earth many places, which have powerful energyfields.
if spiritual person with pure thoughts visits such place, s/he may experience very positive spiritual experience.

I don't want to sound rude, but its total BS... and I was full of it at one time. So spare me the lecture on "spiritual energies" thank you.

you dont understand that cocain and opium are not God given substances. God gave coca bush. And man makes from it cocain.
God gave poppy and man makes from it opium. And later they make from opium heroin. -
my point is that plants are ok. cocain, heroin and alcohol are not plants. cannabis is a plant.
there are plants with psyhchoactive compound called Ibogaine which have a good ?eyeopener? effect. Ibogaine makes people understand that they should leave behind heroin, cocain, alcohol and tobacco addictions.

So according to your argument it is okay to eat all of the poisonous plants out there? Just because they are "plants"? (lol) Your entire argument is based on the fact that just because cannabis is a plant, it is okay and allowed by God? When God has made all the good AND all the evil, and has forbidden us the evil things for a reason, because their harm is greater then their benefit.

i didnt say that its ok to eat all plants.
what I say is that when stimulating your brain, choose natural God given plants over manmade substances.
obviously!Any genuine "eyeopener" effect is given by God, not the plant. And He is able to open or close anyone's eyes at will.
ofcourse. (but this was very simplified statement.)my point with you is that if you mixed chemical narcotics and cannabis together, then you are not in a position to have a clear view on cannabis. your opinion goes to the mind alerting mix. and ofcourse, this mix cant be same as only cannabis.
its same with persons who drink alcohol and smoke cannabis together. i talked with such person yesterday. not nice. also. -

ofcourse. (but this was very simplified statement.)But I already gave you the example of Opium, which has no other substances added. Nor do alcoholic beverages add any chemicals in the brewing proccess. They are made completely naturally. These examples have already nullified your whole argument bro.
and its the same as to read the (God given) quran and follow (manmade) sunnah at the same time. then reject islam and say its all BS.
The problem for you isn't the Sunnah, the Quran itself rejects cannabis as it fits into the definition of khamr. It clouds the intellect and this is a fact. In Canada you are not allowed to drive under its influence, did you know that? It is illegal to do so because of its impairing effects.

Already first 4 minutes says much important things.
Cannabis was the biggest crop in the world, before it got criminalised 100 years ago, in wrong reasons, mostly because of greed. It has been legal for hundreds and thousands of years in the past. -

I know about the (fake) political drug war, and I don't support it. I am not defending the actions of the governments, because I know they are a political stunt. My argument has nothing to do with politics. You have to prove that weed is not included in the definition of khamr, and until you do, you have no case.

you know, i didnt argue with you, when i posted my last post. its a information for those who dont know, not to you specially. dont take everything personally.to get heroin from opium, you have to add to opium some substances.
for example if you add some wierd substances to gasoline, would you consume the result as a drug?
normal people don?t and won?t. and they don?t consume opium either. but some people consume opium+something = heroin.
you cant make heroin from natural plant. its like plastic, made from petroleum, normal people just dont consume it!Actually, I am in a better position then you. I used it in the past, but I am no longer dependent on it, so my view is not biased, like yours.
i dont know you, bro. i know you used chemicals. this puts you to a position to talk about chemicals.
you propably consumed LSD. there are God given mushrooms, many kind of them. they give you alsmost the same trip as LSD but they are clean. clean because they are in balance. thy have psychoactive substances and also balancing substances. LSD have only psychoacyive substances. as i sayd before. you can (and should) but your trust in God (as the quran telles you to) but you should not put your trust in chemicists.those who read the quran and hadits dont know what is pure quran-based islam. they only know what is the quran + hadits.
you did cannabis and also manmade substances, so you dont know what is the pure cannabis. you only know what is cannabis + synthetically maniplulated materials. this position is not comparable with someone who has s/he?s trust in God (and God given provisions) alone. -

This is just more evidence against your argument. There might be differences, but you can not claim that one is khamr, and the other is not.
those who read the quran and hadits dont know what is pure quran-based islam. they only know what is the quran + hadits.

Were talking about the status of these drugs with regards to the Quran, nothing else. And you have to prove that these natural substances are not khamr, when I am telling you that they are.

i have proved to myself. and i have proved here.
its you who say, ?hei i am a longtime addict i know?. i just say that your statements are nothing more than ?follow me, i know?. but you dont come with evidences.peace

and i have proved here.
No you haven't. Opium is a naturally occurring plant that is very addictive and obviously destroys the intellect, so it is khamr. So your argument that just because Cannabis is a natural plant it is not khamr has been effectively countered, and for this you have not even provided any response. You just ignored it as if this point doesn't exist. (In a debate, this is considered a defeat, by the way)
its you who say, ?hei i am a longtime addict i know?.
I "was"... Unlike you who (I am sure) is still dependent on pot, which is why your judgment on this issue is... clouded. (pun intended)
i just say that your statements are nothing more than ?follow me, i know?. but you dont come with evidences.
Excuse me, but I did NOT just tell you "hey take my word for it, I know more then you" I gave you arguments which have still not been able to answer.

opium is not a plant.
what i cant prove, is that cannabis have viel lifting properties.
and you cant prove otherwise.
i can bring many arguments from many religions to back me up.
only hard evidence what i have, is that God gave all fruits to us as gifts. in every plant there are benefits. it?s so even if some people misuse some plants.
i have also statistics, that show that most cannabis users, find it very beneficial for them in many ways. people heal and so on. but there are also some people who may have negative effects. forexample 1 out of 5000 may get scisofrenic. maybe this one was you?i can say, it works for me, and you can say it didnt for you.
and i believe you. when you mixed different drugs you didnt like the outcome - logish.
you dont believe me. and its ok too.
as i sayd earlier - different people, different outcomes. -
opium is not a plant.
Dude Opium is the direct EXTRACT of the poppy plant without any processing or added chemicals. It is no different then the THC in your pot, its what gets you high. Also, take the example of the magic mushrooms which are not-processed in any way but produce the same effects as LSD.
what i cant prove, is that cannabis have viel lifting properties.
and you cant prove otherwise.Yes I can. In a recent study they found that marijuana use causes the part of your brain which deals with fear to shrink in size, which basically means that they are less able to deal with stressful situations because they are less able to handle pressure. Now the proccess of "lifting the veil" causes a person to gain freedom from all fear, of everything besides God. This is a direct contradiction with effects of marijuana use. Why do you think marijuana users are usually more paranoid? You think that is just a funny coincidence?
i can bring many arguments from many religions to back me up.
only hard evidence what i have, is that God gave all fruits to us as gifts.Since when is cannabis a "fruit"? (lol)
in every plant there are benefits.
Of course, but the definition of khamr is exactly that its harm is MORE then its benefit.
1 out of 5000 may get scisofrenic. maybe this one was you?
Personal insults aren't gonna help you here bud, you're already in quick sand. (btw, it is spelled "schizophrenic"
i can say, it works for me, and you can say it didnt for you.
(lol) so now your claiming that your "veil has been lifted" eh??? (and I am the schizo here? haha)

Any form of addiction is Haram. if you are not addicted to something it is fine, drinking alcohol for example leads to other bad things and it has been stated do not apparoach prayers when you are intoxicated because you will not be able to utter your prayers properly. Life my children is not that difficult, just know your set limits and all will be fine, do not indulge to much into trying to solve these issues, they will turn your mind to putty, therefore just know your set limits and boundaries.

how do you see, shrinking the size of something what couses fear to be a bad thing? if this part of your brain would grow, this would sound bad.
I see that cannabis makes people relaxed, happy and peaceful. its normal, that when you are in those states you dont panic and are not affraid.Now the proccess of "lifting the veil" causes a person to gain freedom from all fear, of everything besides God. This is a direct contradiction with effects of marijuana use. Why do you think marijuana users are usually more paranoid? You think that is just a funny coincidence?
not all cannabis users are paranoid. pretty much the only thing that makes cannabis users paranoid, is the fact that cannabis is illegal. police
i couldnt say, that cannabis makes me paranoid. how could i, if i clearly understand that onlyone to fear is God? but yes i know also that some people may get paranoid.Since when is cannabis a "fruit"? (lol)
if cannabis bud is not cannabis plants fruit, then what is it?the definition of khamr is exactly that its harm is MORE then its benefit.
you have to help me out here, from where did this defination come? or what means khamr, same as intoxicant? if so, then i already provided the meaning at the beginning.Personal insults aren't gonna help you here bud, you're already in quick sand.
sorry if you feel insulted. i didnt mean to insult you. but i dont know you, its a public forum, you never know if you meet this one out of 5000.what is your point anyway? do you wanna say that muslims should not use cannabis?
cannabis as a plant have been nominated to number one healing herb on the planet. both - by ancients healers as well as many nowadays sientists. type to your internet search engine "medical marijuana" and see for yourself which are the benefits. btw - any statistics you find in internet will show you that there is no deaths (or one or two deaths through history) related to cannabisuse.
forexample, there are thousands of deaths over the world in a year with aspirin alone. but cannabis is more efficient painkiller, without death possibility. do you say a muslim should eat aspirin instead of cannabis?666
Any form of addiction is Haram.
show me the aya.
prayer or meditation can also have addictive properties.
