id agree with that kid though, totally allfor the hippies
what does it matter?
Yes He did He created everything!
because if he didn’t all the druggies and hippies wouldn’t have anything to do
hi. this is the first time i’ve commented on your site =P
evil, sin, whatever.
sure
That assumes that he did, which assumes that he exists. But if he did, he did it because it contributes to the ecosystem.
Hahahahaha, awesome.
for fun
Because he wanted to.
Because it should be legalized for medicinal purposes, seeing as it is proven to help certain people.
For medicinal purposes
Just another temptation.
It was part of the fall…..a consequence of sin.
This might be your most ridiculous question yet.
For smoking?
Perhaps for treatment of people undergoing chemotheropy…THC is FDA approved for use although marijuana is not. With said, I am not sure that everything in creation has to have a purpose that we can discern. How can we understand God?
why do you think God created terrorists?
God invented the marijuana plant so we could identify future Burger King employees.
because God was a druggie, everyone knows that.
he created everything didn’t he?
btw, I was 15th!
temptation
Did Barry Bonds smoke it?!
He allowed it.
I agree with An80sMetalMan Good one eh?
A time and place for everything under heaven… We abuse, He does not. He had a purpose in mind for each thing He created. Whatever the purpose was for cannibus, I’ll find out when I get to heaven.
yeah, because He created everything.
Yes…It’s natures way of saying High…
Candy
To clarify, I meant to differentiate between “creating” and “allowing”, which would more accurately describe where this question should go.
Maybe he didn’t create it.
there is no god …god is not real
It is interesting, isn’t it? In my much younger days I justified usage on account of the “God created it” clause. I’m not sure where I sit now. Maybe God knew that there would be cancer or something.
So we would have something to do on March 20th
I don’t know.. for people who don’t like drinking alcohol?
maybe for helping ease pain from treatments like chemo, as mentioned above
Not sure…..could its purpose have changed after The Fall???
todays my birthday…
Strange question. Who else would have created it?
yeah, but it doesn’t really have to do with anything
it was humans that missused it
Its one of Earths many medicines for some
To help chemo patients with the thc, and let people get stoned and do stupid crap and level out the population problem
The hemp plant has many uses, other than smoking. It’s a very useful plant.
Medicinal purposes like the other narcotic plants. What God intended for good, satan turns around for evil like music, sex, art, food (gluttony), etc.
to test us. for medical uses. for fun
for the same reason why he created the forbidden fruit.
Ummm…not too sure. To make sweet necklaces from the root/stem.
Because smoking weed can be fun and relaxing. Durr.
yes
to use it so that certain people’s destiny’s can happen
it is a tool of God like everything else
to smoke it. people just overuse it.
just kidding. i don’t know.
that was kind of a dumb question.
It reminds me of Adam and Eve.
He could’ve just not made it, but then he wouldn’t be able to test us with temptation. Since I consider marijuana harmful, I think God created it to test who can connect to Him without mind alterations such as marijuana and who needs such an earthly possession.
Perhaps He created it for the beauty and not for the intention, although He did know man would use it in the wrong way… but he knew we would use knives and other sharp objects to kill people… maybe it didn’t exist until sin entered the world. But yet, all we know is what the Bible says, and God found that everything was “good” – meaning perfect. So He didn’t “Mess-up” by creating it! Maybe there was only one type of dinosaur that would eat it… who knows but God!
For medicinal purposes.
to be difficult.
PS – I find it a very poor excuse that people say “Well – God made it!”
We should think deeper than that. As being a born-again Christian, I see that there is a much bigger picture to life. Dig deep!
Mental anesthesia. Pain Relief. Enjoyment.
Genesis 2:15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.”
One restriction. Is marijuana the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Definitely not. So maybe it was originally for our enjoyment. But then again so was walking around naked and hanging out with God. It is a different world now and modern merijuana is genetically altered the same way a poodle is a genetically altered wolf.
“what God intended for good, satan intends for evil” – the bible…
considering the euphoric effects of the plant, God may have well designed this natural phenomena as a means of anesthesia, a desirable alternative to euthanasia (murder)…
considering the euphoric effects of the palnt as well as the carsinogenic effects of inhaling it when burnt, satan may have well corrupted this natural phenomena as a means of getting high and also getting lung cancer…
PSS – To a response that was blogged right before my first response – God doesn’t temp. He can’t. Only Satan can, and since Satan has contol of the world right now he can do whatever to have us try to destroy our lives, although Satan can’t directly take someone’s life. (Meaning – Satan can have us destroy our own lives, but he cannot directly hurt us. He is spirit – we are human)
god created it because….. o people have something to argue about weather its right or not.
Same reason He made mosquitoes.
So that Rastafarians could have their own religion.
Larry
good question..we’ll probably never know
Marijuana is made from the hemp plant, right? I think it’s just that people decided to abuse the plant. It’s the people, not the plant.
The same reason he created other plants.
Sorry, I don’t believe in a God who created everything…
However, if I did, He probably created without a divine intention, or really much of a purpose. Through our own evolution, and evolution of plant life, humans found a way to use and abuse marijuana.
Why…..now, that IS an excellent question. It must have a good use. Maybe a medicinal one.
Gawd wants us to be happy.
“there is no god …god is not real”
Posted 5/28/2006 at 9:04 PM by Leonisafaefreak
*Agrees* Anyways, it’s a joyous plant that wants to help us relax after work. But, people say you can’t enjoy the plant if you work. Why are they so against a happy, harmless plant?
*Watches those damn “harmless?” commercials*
OH! I SEE NOW!
God was high
hehe………………hehe…………………………hehe, What was the question again?
Stephen was stoned in Acts 7:57!!!
People assume so much of the purpose of this plant. Both a medicine and a contraband. A solution and a problem. The issue is not what marijuana can be used for, but how we use it. But, I think the uses (and misuses) are irrelevant.
Mankind, is both a problem and a solution of God’s. People are constantly disobeying him one way or another. In this logic, I conclude marijuana is a creation of God. Since God has the title “creator” and how closely it resembles another one of God’s creations: us.
He wanted to get high.
So He can have Dan ask the question: “Why do you think God created the marijuana plant?“
oops didn’t see the “why” detail on there… But you know according to the Bible, God says “my thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways”
…Seriously, I think it was just to be a plant. And people found out that if they burn it and breathe it in then it gives them a nice sensation. I think lots of things in the world are neutral, and it’s people that make them good or bad.
Isn’t it simple?
TITTIES.
because he got high, because he got high, because he got high…he was going to abolish world hunger, but then he forgot and i know why…because he got high, because he got high because he got high…do do do
HE MADE IT FOR ME!!!!
I don’t think God DID creat everything… but that is besides the point. People assume the marajuana plant is bad when really it is humans who misuse it that give it a bad reputation.
So that one of my best friends could get high and try to ruin my relationship with my boyfriend.
Agh, sorry for the angry answer. I meant, because pot is better than alcohol. Ah just damn it, I don’t know. He created a lot of crap that ruins people.
*~*For the same reason He created the Forbidden fruit…. To tempt us and test our faith… DON’T SMOKE WEED! LOL
What if God doesn’t exist and the plant is merely a product of Darwin’s evolution theory?
Medical purposes. People have just abused it, using it in ways it wasn’t meant to be used. It’s easy to abuse such things. Along with alcohol, sex, food, and so on. It has aspects to it that’s useful, but people are using it for all the wrong reasons.
A Non existant being cannot create anything. Besides man figured out how to use it
to make rope
Props to the atheist!
Cause without it we college kids wont have anything better to do….lol
Who cares… just smoke it!
considering he made everything then yeah absolutely.
Because no one else could.
Nicholas
Same reason He created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. ; )
Why did he create people?
another choice in the garden of EDEN…..
it plays into the adam and eve situation. replace apple with marijuana
God is an enormous power which created the incomprehensible entirety of the universe. The marijuana plant, like humans, evolved on a tiny speck, completely unnoticed by God.
Actually I just made that up.
Its possible that it was once used for true medicinal purposes. I mean if you want to ask “Why did God create…” questions, you can go with rattlesnakes, sharks, black widow spiders, etc. And what about tonsils, apendex, and so forth? There will always be questions, but we won’t always have answers.
I think that asking why God created marijuana is kind of slippery. This is assuming that the marijuana plant is in fact a bad plant, but why did God create tobacco? It’s the human race that sees a problem with it, but who knows what “He” thinks.
Hey, in Singapore they don’t allow chewing gum. So, why don’t we ask the Singaporean government why God created chewing gum?
To give the hardcore conservatives something to bitch about.
God created the plants, but it was us Humans who ruined it.
I don’t know how weed was invented, but I’m pretty sure God didn’t make it so that bums can be stoned 24/7.
Another creation abused by man…(Sigh)
because God loves us and knows we need a little high every now and again.
Seriously. Ok, kidding. Sorta. But didn’t they just discover some medicinal substance in it for something?
There’s no God.
Nope, the Jewish media created cannabis.
To test our resilience to temptation. Perhaps.
yuppers. and he must have known it was smokable. by that logic, the conservative chritian right should be all for legalizing it!
Whoever said God created it?
I saw this in the comic’s today and thought it was hilarious.
“What do you get when you mix Marijuana and your four leaf clover stew?”…”Pot Luck!”
I KNEW someone would say temptation. Silly people. I’m pretty sure just because it’s illegal in the US doesn’t make it a damn sin. Lighten up.
I wrote a post on SEX ON THE FIRST DATE, if anybody wants to comment, more than welcome.
i have heard it can be useful in treating cancer, or at least that they are testing it in pill form for that. but it probably has other purposes too.
So that stressed out people can chill out and discussed screwed up theories about Him in their backyard at 2 in the morning…..not that I’d have anything to do with it….
Me
Dude man, like, cause, well man, its, like this….on the sixth day he went “woe”, then he went “woe”, then Adam was like, “Yo God waz up! Eve is really gettin in my grill, like sayin ‘You need to get a job loser!’ What should I do man?” Then God was like, “Woe, go eat an apple man!”
It wasn’t until later that he realized his mistake, so he created marijuana, so it would never happen again.
-Pilgrim of Truth
p.s. This is just a joke, and therefore should not go on my permenant record when applying to heaven.
Maybe it created it for uses in medicine in the earlier times, but everyone found out what it can do, thus abusing it and stuff. Don’t know if was actually used in medical treatments in earlier times, but it seems likely.
maybe medical purposes
To make us… happy.
If god exists that is; but that’s besides the question.
just another part of creation.
God created sex right? and sex can be either good (one man, one woman, in the bounds of marriage) or bad (you know what i mean), right? therefore, we make the marijuana plant bad.
and because He is God and can do what He pleases.
he probably created so people could get a pleasant smoke out of it once in a while. it’s just the farmers that began crop-planting and businesses that sold it in masses that made it get out of hand.
to use and enjoy. read genesis 1:29
marijuana? i can think of lots of reasons why he created marijuana. what i dont understand is why he created some bugs, like silverfish. ugghhh…i hate silverfish
God is the opiate of the masses. He wanted physical representation of himself. MARIJUANA = GOD!
[I'm not actually a druggie. Post-disclaimer or something].
I ask why not?
but why? happiness, freedom from boredom, altered state of reality, enhance creativity, encourage eating, forget trivial things, less stress, medicinal purposes etc.
I could go on.
and… pot is not ONLY for the hippies you stereotypical jerks, it’s the gangsta’s gateway drug.
haha.. joking…
sick site, by the by.
<3 mle
Because perhaps God created substances like cannabis to be used to actually further humankind’s connection to Him… Who ever said that smoking a joint was evil? It has been made into a “sin” but perhaps it and other drugs were created to be used in the proper context of worshipping God.
Is that too far out?
Um…just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s a sin.
Same reason he created opium, the coca plant, and mescaline. It’s to keep the DEA in business.
I dunno, but it sure keeps me employed.
*gasp* Okay, so THAT sounds bad. Breathe everyone. I’m an adolescent drug & alcohol therapist. No worries.
Drugs are used in spiritual expression and worship in many cultures. In America we see pot as a sin even though it is less harmful than cigarettes or alcohol. I think that these substances can be very spiritual when used in moderation and as a tool for worship. But I’ve never tried.
medicine for horses and cows? ease for those with cancer? He knows.
Of course, only man has perverted it to our own sick twisted desires….far out.
The same reason he created the mosquito
well, i dont beleive in God.. but i could think of a few good reasons, haha
i don’t believe there is such a thing as “god”, but that’s just me.
God created everything. Man just took the things he made to be used for good and made it something retarded like marijuana.
God created chaos then left the room.
Okay, the question is not “DID God create marijuana?”. So learn to read, first of all.
Second of all, why would he create something solely for sin or temptation? So that we would fall for the devil? So he could laugh at us and poke us with baka sticks? Right.
Medicine purposes, but we’re too caught up in the oother “excuses” to realize it has some merit.
Um…so we could smoke it?
To help those on their death bed or in TREMENDOUS pain.
(((((( GRANDMA HUGS ))))))
Lori
….Question: Who was the idiot who came up with inhaling through wrapped-up burning leaves for stimulus?…..That requires major boredom in my book…………
why do you think He created drinking alcohol? at least marijuana brings relief to cancer patients.
Why did God create Dan?
So people could get high.
I dont think it was meant to be used for evil…
The Logan
Because he wanted mankind to have good, strong hemp rope.
To help kids survive the nascence of rock ‘n roll.
because he wanted us to find it. he wanted some to question it, some to hate it, and some to escape from, or find, reality. :]
Because He loves us! Because He wanted something to temporarily shut up high school dropouts and hippies.
Unknown – same answer I give as to why he created roaches.
Never heard of Extreme Monopoly!? Well, learn something new every day I guess.
I would say for medicine…isn’t that what most of our drugs are anyway? Not plants but most of them can be abused. I’ve heard of doctors telling terminal cancer patients to try to get a hold of marijuana to ease the pain. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong…So why do you think God invented Marijuana? Like most things he created, we have twisted it around anyway.
PERHAPS FOR THE SAME REASON HE CREATED THE TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL. TO SEE WHO IS OBEDIANT.
Crap the caps lock was stuck on………
~G~
God works in mysterious ways, or so they say.
Maybe we dont get all the mysteries solved.
I like it that there’s twice as much interest in marijuana as there is in Barry Bonds. I, in fact, am interested in neither. That’s in a manner of speaking, of course. I’m interested enough to comment here.
As for the purpose of marijuana, I don’t agree there is a purpose. Or a God. Have we ever talked about that?
He got bored…or else just wanted everybody to calm down.
for fun duh.
obviously God created everything for a reason, but i highly doubt that the creation of the marijuana plant was to roll it up and smoke it. it probably has some amazing great thing to contribute to society, yet we’re too busy getting high to bother looking for it. a pity, really.
Oh dear! (That seems to be my intro these days lol) I used to smoke marijuana…it seemingly took away all my inhibitions and I really enjoyed people, laughter, fun, food, gatherings, etc. I think it’s another one of those things that God allows…it or Him.
What a ridiculous question.
i dont know and i dont care.
Because he loves us and wants us to be happy.
i think it’s for medicinal purposes
yes
sorry. thought the question was “did”.
because it’s pretty.
RYC: Now, THAT was funny !
I don’t believe in God, so it’s kind of a moot point.
anyways. god doesnt exist, so he didn’t create anything. shrug.
god didnt create it. people did.
Glaucoma.
L,r
I wish I knew why He created mosquitos and ticks.
the question you must answer first is; is there a god and why. or is that accepted as a general opinion around here? the marijuana plant is for… healing diseases probably. like the i-am-hyper disease, the i-am-sad disease, the i-am-fat disease, because it helps against all of that.
God created everything with good in mind, and there was no such thing as harm. The marijuana plant, was merely another plant. But when Adam and Eve sinned, everything turned against them, making the marijuana plant bad. If it had been up to God, they never would have sinned, the marijuana plant would just be another plant, and nobody would have to worry about drugs, or alcohol. -Tori
The marijuanna plant wasnt made for smoking, people misused it that way. The plant itself is just another plant – same as …. grass
Cause when our ansestors died and went to heaven and started bitch’n saying, “Hey, we arnt happy! We can’t get high!” So God said “My childen, you dont alwas get what you want…Besids if i gve you somethaing to get high you’ll abuse it and kill yourselfs for many genorations to come.” and then they said. “No we wont! Come on! please!!!!” So God did and put them back on earth. then he was like “Wat the hell have I done!!” Then the devil came and said, “Yo Home slice! I’ll help them learn from there mistakes…I’ll make them die slowly. Make them see what bad has come to them.” Befor God could answer the Devil ran down to Earth and did his work.
THE END!!!!
!~nicole~!
Wow, what a tough question. If I actually used the stuff, I would say something along the lines of “because He loves us and wants us to be happy” but that would just be wrong. I’m not quite sure, but I’m going to go with just another temptation for us to avoid.
RYC: Ronda is one of my closest friends from college, and she has a blog on here (roaringlamb3). She’s awesome, and one of the few people from college I still talk to. She’s…31 today? 32? Something like that.
i thaink mine is the best answer….
Same reason he created the coca plant (COCAINE), poppies (HEROIN) and mescal (ACID) ; so’s yaz can get high! Thereby escaping your dreary black & white existence. Or maybe you can rationalize that Satan created them to tempt you…Bwah ha ha!
Pot sucks anyway. It’s for loo-hoo-zers. They get all stupid and slow, same as booze. Although if does help people with eye problems and alleviates pain from certain types of cancer so…
LOL! We are so ego-centric aren’t we! Its all about us – isn’t it!?! LOL! ROFL! I think I’ll just trust God to worry about that one!
So his children could smoke it.
He created it but i don’t think for the purposes of getting high. Same reason why people created sharpie markers or over the counter drugs, they are just used in the wrong way
so he could give the future presidents and governers of CA something to smoke
tosmoke it cuz its fuckin awsome
to cure any kinds of aches!!!!!
Perhaps for medicinal purposes…but who am I to say that I know God’s purposes in His creation?

Let’s see … Medicinal purposes? ::Grin::
You are the world’s laziest blogger.
i think that god created it for a medical purpose back before the eve ate the stupid friut…then satan twisted it and introduced it as something to get high on, then it was recreated for the hippies..wooohhoooo and now its just a stupid thing to distract kids from doin something even stupider… its been stupid since the fruit
For a reason. It serves a part in the ecosystem, but not the part we use it for. Humans abhuse its service.
[ariana]
God did not create pot to be smoked. That’s just like saying He created water so that people could drown…
He created it as a plant, but I doubt that He did it be smoked.
yes
For people with glicoma (sp). HA
To quote my favorite Philosophy professor from my Alma Mater, “Why? Because.”
To temp us.
Hi Dan,
Just wanted to let you know that my account was hacked and I will no longer be able to use my marvelous__treacheries account.
I’ve subscibed to you under a new name and will be shutting down the other site.
Thanks,
~Caroline~
Apparently half of these commenters don’t understand basic sentence construction, since they answered a “why” question by simply saying “yes.” And, talk2Ben, National Pot Day is 4/20, not 3/20.
If there is a ‘God’ and if ‘God’ did create everything, ‘It’ would have created marijuana as a joke; just to be able to make fun of people.
{It’s like the fascination and sheer joy we get out of watching people mess up; that’s why Jackass was created.}
so we could smoke it.
Because he wanted to see what would happen when human beings got totally stoned.
I think it was also a way to make sure human beings could perpetuate their own species.
hmmmmmmm b/c he needs some entertainment up in heaven sorrounded by perfect ppl…so why not watch some kids act like idiots down on earth smokin some somem somem lol.
because it’s a temptation… you have to learn to resist temptation… we’ll never know exactly why God does certain things until we get to heaven … until then, we have to have faith in him
It has the medicinal uses.
It also gives us more choices that need to be made.
i beleive God created it to test us. not to mention some people have to smoke it for medicine.
He created it for medical uses and other things to heal. Not to be abused by those who do it just to get the high.
God created the marijuana plant for the same reason he created everything else. It was created to help us, but instead, we abused it and made it some sick drug.
God didn’t. It was evolution.
To stir up controversy
Dan, I have a higher power. My higher power is god, and god is evolution. God is also Krishna and god is science and Buddha and maybe Yaweh and Allah.
But mostly science and evolution.
God sure did make Marijuana!
Thank you god, im gonna roll a blunt RIGHT NOW to smoke with my almond latte!
Oh, I missed the point. God created the maijuana plant for the same reason he created saddam hussein and hitler, child porn and george bush, he ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU! Not you Dan, just anyone who talks about the garden and snakes, satan and stuff.
god created ganja so that man can smoke it and run over little kids in the walmart parking lot. children make good speed bumps. p.s. marijuana is only illegal b/c at one time the hemp was used to hang color folks b/c hemp is stronger than cotton will ever be.
why did God create mosquitos?
nobody really knows.
just because he can.
He didnt. It evolved from other plants over many centuries.
I found this cannibis timeline… pretty interesting!
God didnt create the marijuana plant, I created the marijuana plant.
He didn’t… the DEVIL DID!!!!
coz green is very pretty
Medical stuff. Many things that were created to be good, are used in a bad way.
He did it, to amuse us. Also, that we might have an answer to being in love…”Stoned and I missed it.”
He did it, to amuse us. Also, that we might have an answer to being in love…”Stoned and I missed it.”
God never said that smoking marijuana was bad, men decided that. The hemp plant has many uses other than the obvious: as an anti-nausea medicine, to make rope, canvas, nets, and paper. The U.S. Constitution was written on hemp paper and the seeds were used to fuel burning lamps. The notion that God created cannabis to tempt people into indulging so that they would end up in hell is about the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard.
so people that had cancer in the state of callifornia could smoke it and feel the need to eat and so that the hippies could abuse it!
Well he created rocks too, but I don’t think he made ‘em so people could try to smoke ‘em.
temptation
to make druggies happy.
i like your questions.
Only for those who want to smoke it
becuz so it can make the goody ppl look better.
For enjoyment. Why does something that brings enjoyment have to be a sin? Cuz ur mommy told you it was? THINK people!
Why did he create Anthrax? Does he hate Tom Daschel? Or maybe we should just attribute everything to Him but not ask questions. I think that’s the illogical way out.
to make people happy
God doesn’t really need a reason WHY he created something…Everything was made for a purpose. Just some purposes aren’t meant to be know.
Or I’d agree with what most people are saying.
Darn hippies…
In a form of intelligent design in which evolution exists but everything is planned by God, yes.
because like everything else, it has its place and role to play, as silly as that might sound.
haha…the marajuana plant was invented to feed the deer, and other animals. It was man who figured out that crushing up its leaves and snorting/smoking/eating the product gets you high.
I’m sure the deer got a kick out of it though.
for people to relax with
Why not?
Probably the same reason he created the tree with the fruit we weren’t supposed to eat.
people can’t get past the “druggie” aspect of marijuana. Marijuana is a very useful plant. It staves off nausea, and controls spasticity, and pain. For some people it absolutely makes living tolerable. Can you tell I am a proponent of medical marijuana? Have I ever tried it? Only twice, 25 years ago in brownies.
1) it could be an evolved form of another herb used for medicine (like it is now.) or, 2) He could have created it for a certain animal that eats only that, like the koala eats eukalyptus.
perhaps it was an experiment to test his people
perhaps it was an experiment to test his people
I believe he created the marijuana plant to give people an excuse for reading your blog.
i think that everything is put here for a reason. i dont think that marjiuana is such a bad thing. it’s like anything else, use in moderation. people overdo it and becos idioits, just like people overeat and become unhealthy. its all about keeping things in check.
you could ask this question of anything “bad” in today’s society. but with this particular question, for temptation, perhaps. although some may say for “medicinal purposes,” i do believe there are other treatments for what marijuana is used for. and if they are not, then i’m sure something else would have been discovered… medicinal marijuana happened to be first.
who says god created everything? what about the big bang?
i know im gonna get into trouble with this comment.
god has put many things in this world which are laballed bad and are bad but he puts these things as a test for mankind, marijuna generally is bad, god tests humans how they use it
i have no idea.
Goddamn, Dan…hilarious question and equally amusing responses… misattribution, bias, ridiculousness, it’s all here.
Just another thing to create. Or another pasttime for humans. Or maybe so they would be rewarded once they used their brains to figure out its effects.
to use, obviously. same with tobacco.and coca
> The being in question is all-knowing, all-seeing, etc….. It was created for its medicinal purposes and corrupted by that fallible, corruptable, being known as us….
Peace
To give people a chance to cure their illnesses.
It makes brownies taste better. God is the master chef.
That assumes that he did, which assumes that he exists. But if he did, he did it because it contributes to the ecosystem. -Adriene
I agree with Adriene. But I do not believe that God exists. After all, look at the phrase. “Believe in God”. I would only believe in Him, not know He exists.
So people could smoke it… tobbaco is more harmful than marijuana anyway. The only reason it’s not legal is because it can’t be detected in the bloodstream (so there’s no way to tell if someone is driving stoned and there’s no real way to control its use).
to give people a way to relax?
yep
oh, I meant to say,
I don’t care.
yes
Marijuana is a vegitable.
Reminds me of the lyrics to a King’s Missle song… “Jesus turned water to wine, and if he wanted to, he could have turned wheat into marijuana or vitamin pills into methanphedimines. Jesus was way cool. No wonder there are so many Christians.”
Also, back in “Bible days” they didn’t have random drug testing, so it was cool to do and you wouldn’t get fired from your job as a flannelgraph model.
A deity with a sense of humor. Go figure.
yes, because it only becomes evil when used wrongly… such is free will.
Comments (271)
for the hippies
first comment
wow
second, woops
becaue thier like, cool man
id agree with that kid though, totally allfor the hippies
what does it matter?
Yes He did He created everything!
because if he didn’t all the druggies and hippies wouldn’t have anything to do
hi. this is the first time i’ve commented on your site =P
evil, sin, whatever.
sure
That assumes that he did, which assumes that he exists. But if he did, he did it because it contributes to the ecosystem.
Hahahahaha, awesome.
for fun
Because he wanted to.
Because it should be legalized for medicinal purposes, seeing as it is proven to help certain people.
For medicinal purposes
Just another temptation.
It was part of the fall…..a consequence of sin.
This might be your most ridiculous question yet.
For smoking?
Perhaps for treatment of people undergoing chemotheropy…THC is FDA approved for use although marijuana is not. With said, I am not sure that everything in creation has to have a purpose that we can discern. How can we understand God?
why do you think God created terrorists?
God invented the marijuana plant so we could identify future Burger King employees.
because God was a druggie, everyone knows that.
he created everything didn’t he?
btw, I was 15th!
temptation
Did Barry Bonds smoke it?!
He allowed it.
I agree with An80sMetalMan Good one eh?
A time and place for everything under heaven… We abuse, He does not. He had a purpose in mind for each thing He created. Whatever the purpose was for cannibus, I’ll find out when I get to heaven.
yeah, because He created everything.
Yes…It’s natures way of saying High…
Candy
To clarify, I meant to differentiate between “creating” and “allowing”, which would more accurately describe where this question should go.
Maybe he didn’t create it.
there is no god …god is not real
It is interesting, isn’t it? In my much younger days I justified usage on account of the “God created it” clause. I’m not sure where I sit now. Maybe God knew that there would be cancer or something.
So we would have something to do on March 20th
I don’t know.. for people who don’t like drinking alcohol?
maybe for helping ease pain from treatments like chemo, as mentioned above
Not sure…..could its purpose have changed after The Fall???
todays my birthday…
Strange question. Who else would have created it?
yeah, but it doesn’t really have to do with anything
it was humans that missused it
Its one of Earths many medicines for some
To help chemo patients with the thc, and let people get stoned and do stupid crap and level out the population problem
The hemp plant has many uses, other than smoking. It’s a very useful plant.
Medicinal purposes like the other narcotic plants. What God intended for good, satan turns around for evil like music, sex, art, food (gluttony), etc.
to test us. for medical uses. for fun
for the same reason why he created the forbidden fruit.
Ummm…not too sure. To make sweet necklaces from the root/stem.
Because smoking weed can be fun and relaxing. Durr.
yes
to use it so that certain people’s destiny’s can happen
it is a tool of God like everything else
to smoke it.
people just overuse it.
just kidding.
i don’t know.
that was kind of a dumb question.
It reminds me of Adam and Eve.
He could’ve just not made it, but then he wouldn’t be able to test us with temptation. Since I consider marijuana harmful, I think God created it to test who can connect to Him without mind alterations such as marijuana and who needs such an earthly possession.
Perhaps He created it for the beauty and not for the intention, although He did know man would use it in the wrong way… but he knew we would use knives and other sharp objects to kill people… maybe it didn’t exist until sin entered the world. But yet, all we know is what the Bible says, and God found that everything was “good” – meaning perfect. So He didn’t “Mess-up” by creating it! Maybe there was only one type of dinosaur that would eat it… who knows but God!
For medicinal purposes.
to be difficult.
PS – I find it a very poor excuse that people say “Well – God made it!”
We should think deeper than that. As being a born-again Christian, I see that there is a much bigger picture to life. Dig deep!
Mental anesthesia. Pain Relief. Enjoyment.
Genesis 2:15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.”
One restriction. Is marijuana the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Definitely not. So maybe it was originally for our enjoyment. But then again so was walking around naked and hanging out with God. It is a different world now and modern merijuana is genetically altered the same way a poodle is a genetically altered wolf.
“what God intended for good, satan intends for evil” – the bible…
considering the euphoric effects of the plant, God may have well designed this natural phenomena as a means of anesthesia, a desirable alternative to euthanasia (murder)…
considering the euphoric effects of the palnt as well as the carsinogenic effects of inhaling it when burnt, satan may have well corrupted this natural phenomena as a means of getting high and also getting lung cancer…
PSS – To a response that was blogged right before my first response – God doesn’t temp. He can’t. Only Satan can, and since Satan has contol of the world right now he can do whatever to have us try to destroy our lives, although Satan can’t directly take someone’s life. (Meaning – Satan can have us destroy our own lives, but he cannot directly hurt us. He is spirit – we are human)
god created it because….. o people have something to argue about weather its right or not.
Same reason He made mosquitoes.
So that Rastafarians could have their own religion.
Larry
good question..we’ll probably never know
Marijuana is made from the hemp plant, right? I think it’s just that people decided to abuse the plant. It’s the people, not the plant.
The same reason he created other plants.
Sorry, I don’t believe in a God who created everything…
However, if I did, He probably created without a divine intention, or really much of a purpose. Through our own evolution, and evolution of plant life, humans found a way to use and abuse marijuana.
Why…..now, that IS an excellent question. It must have a good use. Maybe a medicinal one.
Gawd wants us to be happy.
“there is no god …god is not real”
Posted 5/28/2006 at 9:04 PM by Leonisafaefreak
*Agrees* Anyways, it’s a joyous plant that wants to help us relax after work. But, people say you can’t enjoy the plant if you work. Why are they so against a happy, harmless plant?
*Watches those damn “harmless?” commercials*
OH! I SEE NOW!
God was high
hehe………………hehe…………………………hehe, What was the question again?
Stephen was stoned in Acts 7:57!!!
People assume so much of the purpose of this plant. Both a medicine and a contraband. A solution and a problem. The issue is not what marijuana can be used for, but how we use it. But, I think the uses (and misuses) are irrelevant.
Mankind, is both a problem and a solution of God’s. People are constantly disobeying him one way or another. In this logic, I conclude marijuana is a creation of God. Since God has the title “creator” and how closely it resembles another one of God’s creations: us.
He wanted to get high.
So He can have Dan ask the question: “Why do you think God created the marijuana plant?“
oops didn’t see the “why” detail on there… But you know according to the Bible, God says “my thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways”
…Seriously, I think it was just to be a plant. And people found out that if they burn it and breathe it in then it gives them a nice sensation. I think lots of things in the world are neutral, and it’s people that make them good or bad.
Isn’t it simple?
TITTIES.
because he got high, because he got high, because he got high…he was going to abolish world hunger, but then he forgot and i know why…because he got high, because he got high because he got high…do do do
HE MADE IT FOR ME!!!!
I don’t think God DID creat everything… but that is besides the point. People assume the marajuana plant is bad when really it is humans who misuse it that give it a bad reputation.
So that one of my best friends could get high and try to ruin my relationship with my boyfriend.
Agh, sorry for the angry answer. I meant, because pot is better than alcohol. Ah just damn it, I don’t know. He created a lot of crap that ruins people.
*~*For the same reason He created the Forbidden fruit…. To tempt us and test our faith… DON’T SMOKE WEED! LOL
What if God doesn’t exist and the plant is merely a product of Darwin’s evolution theory?
to smoke?
…………….
why else :]
I agree with An80sMetalMan lol
Medical purposes. People have just abused it, using it in ways it wasn’t meant to be used. It’s easy to abuse such things. Along with alcohol, sex, food, and so on. It has aspects to it that’s useful, but people are using it for all the wrong reasons.
A Non existant being cannot create anything. Besides man figured out how to use it
to make rope
Props to the atheist!
Cause without it we college kids wont have anything better to do….lol
Who cares… just smoke it!
considering he made everything then yeah absolutely.
Because no one else could.
Nicholas
Same reason He created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. ; )
Why did he create people?
another choice in the garden of EDEN…..
it plays into the adam and eve situation. replace apple with marijuana
God is an enormous power which created the incomprehensible entirety of the universe. The marijuana plant, like humans, evolved on a tiny speck, completely unnoticed by God.
Actually I just made that up.
Its possible that it was once used for true medicinal purposes. I mean if you want to ask “Why did God create…” questions, you can go with rattlesnakes, sharks, black widow spiders, etc. And what about tonsils, apendex, and so forth? There will always be questions, but we won’t always have answers.
I think that asking why God created marijuana is kind of slippery. This is assuming that the marijuana plant is in fact a bad plant, but why did God create tobacco? It’s the human race that sees a problem with it, but who knows what “He” thinks.
Hey, in Singapore they don’t allow chewing gum. So, why don’t we ask the Singaporean government why God created chewing gum?
To give the hardcore conservatives something to bitch about.
God created the plants, but it was us Humans who ruined it.
I don’t know how weed was invented, but I’m pretty sure God didn’t make it so that bums can be stoned 24/7.
Another creation abused by man…(Sigh)
because God loves us and knows we need a little high every now and again.
Seriously. Ok, kidding. Sorta. But didn’t they just discover some medicinal substance in it for something?
There’s no God.
Nope, the Jewish media created cannabis.
To test our resilience to temptation. Perhaps.
yuppers. and he must have known it was smokable. by that logic, the conservative chritian right should be all for legalizing it!
Whoever said God created it?
I saw this in the comic’s today and thought it was hilarious.
“What do you get when you mix Marijuana and your four leaf clover stew?”…”Pot Luck!”
I KNEW someone would say temptation. Silly people. I’m pretty sure just because it’s illegal in the US doesn’t make it a damn sin. Lighten up.
I wrote a post on SEX ON THE FIRST DATE, if anybody wants to comment, more than welcome.
i have heard it can be useful in treating cancer, or at least that they are testing it in pill form for that. but it probably has other purposes too.
So that stressed out people can chill out and discussed screwed up theories about Him in their backyard at 2 in the morning…..not that I’d have anything to do with it….
Me
Dude man, like, cause, well man, its, like this….on the sixth day he went “woe”, then he went “woe”, then Adam was like, “Yo God waz up! Eve is really gettin in my grill, like sayin ‘You need to get a job loser!’ What should I do man?” Then God was like, “Woe, go eat an apple man!”
It wasn’t until later that he realized his mistake, so he created marijuana, so it would never happen again.
-Pilgrim of Truth
p.s. This is just a joke, and therefore should not go on my permenant record when applying to heaven.
Maybe it created it for uses in medicine in the earlier times, but everyone found out what it can do, thus abusing it and stuff.
Don’t know if was actually used in medical treatments in earlier times, but it seems likely.
maybe medical purposes
To make us… happy.
If god exists that is; but that’s besides the question.
just another part of creation.
God created sex right? and sex can be either good (one man, one woman, in the bounds of marriage) or bad (you know what i mean), right? therefore, we make the marijuana plant bad.
and because He is God and can do what He pleases.
he probably created so people could get a pleasant smoke out of it once in a while. it’s just the farmers that began crop-planting and businesses that sold it in masses that made it get out of hand.
to use and enjoy. read genesis 1:29
marijuana? i can think of lots of reasons why he created marijuana. what i dont understand is why he created some bugs, like silverfish. ugghhh…i hate silverfish
God is the opiate of the masses. He wanted physical representation of himself.
MARIJUANA = GOD!
[I'm not actually a druggie. Post-disclaimer or something].
I ask why not?
but why?
happiness,
freedom from boredom,
altered state of reality,
enhance creativity,
encourage eating,
forget trivial things,
less stress,
medicinal purposes
etc.
I could go on.
and… pot is not ONLY for the hippies you stereotypical jerks,
it’s the gangsta’s gateway drug.
haha.. joking…
sick site, by the by.
<3 mle
Because perhaps God created substances like cannabis to be used to actually further humankind’s connection to Him… Who ever said that smoking a joint was evil? It has been made into a “sin” but perhaps it and other drugs were created to be used in the proper context of worshipping God.
Is that too far out?
Um…just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s a sin.
Same reason he created opium, the coca plant, and mescaline. It’s to keep the DEA in business.
I dunno, but it sure keeps me employed.
*gasp* Okay, so THAT sounds bad. Breathe everyone. I’m an adolescent drug & alcohol therapist.
No worries.
Drugs are used in spiritual expression and worship in many cultures. In America we see pot as a sin even though it is less harmful than cigarettes or alcohol. I think that these substances can be very spiritual when used in moderation and as a tool for worship. But I’ve never tried.
medicine for horses and cows?
ease for those with cancer?
He knows.
Of course, only man has perverted it to our own sick twisted desires….far out.
The same reason he created the mosquito
well, i dont beleive in God..
but i could think of a few good reasons, haha
i don’t believe there is such a thing as “god”, but that’s just me.
God created everything. Man just took the things he made to be used for good and made it something retarded like marijuana.
God created chaos then left the room.
Okay, the question is not “DID God create marijuana?”. So learn to read, first of all.
Second of all, why would he create something solely for sin or temptation? So that we would fall for the devil? So he could laugh at us and poke us with baka sticks? Right.
Medicine purposes, but we’re too caught up in the oother “excuses” to realize it has some merit.
Um…so we could smoke it?
To help those on their death bed or in TREMENDOUS pain.
(((((( GRANDMA HUGS ))))))
Lori
….Question: Who was the idiot who came up with inhaling through wrapped-up burning leaves for stimulus?…..That requires major boredom in my book…………
why do you think He created drinking alcohol? at least marijuana brings relief to cancer patients.
Why did God create Dan?
So people could get high.
I dont think it was meant to be used for evil…
The Logan
Because he wanted mankind to have good, strong hemp rope.
To help kids survive the nascence of rock ‘n roll.
because he wanted us to find it. he wanted some to question it, some to hate it, and some to escape from, or find, reality. :]
Because He loves us! Because He wanted something to temporarily shut up high school dropouts and hippies.
Unknown – same answer I give as to why he created roaches.
Never heard of Extreme Monopoly!? Well, learn something new every day I guess.
I would say for medicine…isn’t that what most of our drugs are anyway? Not plants but most of them can be abused. I’ve heard of doctors telling terminal cancer patients to try to get a hold of marijuana to ease the pain. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong…So why do you think God invented Marijuana? Like most things he created, we have twisted it around anyway.
PERHAPS FOR THE SAME REASON HE CREATED THE TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL. TO SEE WHO IS OBEDIANT.
Crap the caps lock was stuck on………
~G~
God works in mysterious ways, or so they say.
Maybe we dont get all the mysteries solved.
I like it that there’s twice as much interest in marijuana as there is in Barry Bonds. I, in fact, am interested in neither. That’s in a manner of speaking, of course. I’m interested enough to comment here.
As for the purpose of marijuana, I don’t agree there is a purpose. Or a God. Have we ever talked about that?
He got bored…or else just wanted everybody to calm down.
for fun duh.
obviously God created everything for a reason, but i highly doubt that the creation of the marijuana plant was to roll it up and smoke it. it probably has some amazing great thing to contribute to society, yet we’re too busy getting high to bother looking for it. a pity, really.
Oh dear! (That seems to be my intro these days lol) I used to smoke marijuana…it seemingly took away all my inhibitions and I really enjoyed people, laughter, fun, food, gatherings, etc. I think it’s another one of those things that God allows…it or Him.
What a ridiculous question.
i dont know and i dont care.
Because he loves us and wants us to be happy.
i think it’s for medicinal purposes
yes
sorry. thought the question was “did”.
because it’s pretty.
RYC: Now, THAT was funny
!
I don’t believe in God, so it’s kind of a moot point.
i’m curious as to why OJesuslovesyousomuch thinks music and art are evil….
anyways. god doesnt exist, so he didn’t create anything. shrug.
god didnt create it. people did.
Glaucoma.
L,r
I wish I knew why He created mosquitos and ticks.
the question you must answer first is; is there a god and why. or is that accepted as a general opinion around here? the marijuana plant is for… healing diseases probably. like the i-am-hyper disease, the i-am-sad disease, the i-am-fat disease, because it helps against all of that.
God created everything with good in mind, and there was no such thing as harm. The marijuana plant, was merely another plant. But when Adam and Eve sinned, everything turned against them, making the marijuana plant bad. If it had been up to God, they never would have sinned, the marijuana plant would just be another plant, and nobody would have to worry about drugs, or alcohol.
-Tori
The marijuanna plant wasnt made for smoking, people misused it that way. The plant itself is just another plant – same as …. grass
Cause when our ansestors died and went to heaven and started bitch’n saying, “Hey, we arnt happy! We can’t get high!” So God said “My childen, you dont alwas get what you want…Besids if i gve you somethaing to get high you’ll abuse it and kill yourselfs for many genorations to come.” and then they said. “No we wont! Come on! please!!!!” So God did and put them back on earth. then he was like “Wat the hell have I done!!” Then the devil came and said, “Yo Home slice! I’ll help them learn from there mistakes…I’ll make them die slowly. Make them see what bad has come to them.” Befor God could answer the Devil ran down to Earth and did his work.
THE END!!!!
!~nicole~!
Wow, what a tough question. If I actually used the stuff, I would say something along the lines of “because He loves us and wants us to be happy” but that would just be wrong.
I’m not quite sure, but I’m going to go with just another temptation for us to avoid.
RYC: Ronda is one of my closest friends from college, and she has a blog on here (roaringlamb3). She’s awesome, and one of the few people from college I still talk to. She’s…31 today? 32? Something like that.
i thaink mine is the best answer….
Same reason he created the coca plant (COCAINE), poppies (HEROIN) and mescal (ACID) ; so’s yaz can get high! Thereby escaping your dreary black & white existence. Or maybe you can rationalize that Satan created them to tempt you…Bwah ha ha!
Pot sucks anyway. It’s for loo-hoo-zers. They get all stupid and slow, same as booze. Although if does help people with eye problems and alleviates pain from certain types of cancer so…
LOL! We are so ego-centric aren’t we! Its all about us – isn’t it!?! LOL! ROFL! I think I’ll just trust God to worry about that one!
So his children could smoke it.
He created it but i don’t think for the purposes of getting high. Same reason why people created sharpie markers or over the counter drugs, they are just used in the wrong way
so he could give the future presidents and governers of CA something to smoke
tosmoke it cuz its fuckin awsome
to cure any kinds of aches!!!!!
Perhaps for medicinal purposes…but who am I to say that I know God’s purposes in His creation?

Let’s see … Medicinal purposes? ::Grin::
You are the world’s laziest blogger.
i think that god created it for a medical purpose back before the eve ate the stupid friut…then satan twisted it and introduced it as something to get high on, then it was recreated for the hippies..wooohhoooo and now its just a stupid thing to distract kids from doin something even stupider… its been stupid since the fruit
For a reason. It serves a part in the ecosystem, but not the part we use it for. Humans abhuse its service.
[ariana]
God did not create pot to be smoked. That’s just like saying He created water so that people could drown…
He created it as a plant, but I doubt that He did it be smoked.
yes
For people with glicoma (sp). HA
To quote my favorite Philosophy professor from my Alma Mater, “Why? Because.”
To temp us.
Hi Dan,
Just wanted to let you know that my account was hacked and I will no longer be able to use my marvelous__treacheries account.
I’ve subscibed to you under a new name and will be shutting down the other site.
Thanks,
~Caroline~
Apparently half of these commenters don’t understand basic sentence construction, since they answered a “why” question by simply saying “yes.”
And, talk2Ben, National Pot Day is 4/20, not 3/20.
If there is a ‘God’ and if ‘God’ did create everything, ‘It’ would have created marijuana as a joke; just to be able to make fun of people.
{It’s like the fascination and sheer joy we get out of watching people mess up; that’s why Jackass was created.}
so we could smoke it.
Because he wanted to see what would happen when human beings got totally stoned.
I think it was also a way to make sure human beings could perpetuate their own species.
hmmmmmmm b/c he needs some entertainment up in heaven sorrounded by perfect ppl…so why not watch some kids act like idiots down on earth smokin some somem somem lol.
because it’s a temptation… you have to learn to resist temptation… we’ll never know exactly why God does certain things until we get to heaven … until then, we have to have faith in him
It has the medicinal uses.
It also gives us more choices that need to be made.
i beleive God created it to test us. not to mention some people have to smoke it for medicine.
He created it for medical uses and other things to heal. Not to be abused by those who do it just to get the high.
God created the marijuana plant for the same reason he created everything else. It was created to help us, but instead, we abused it and made it some sick drug.
God didn’t.
It was evolution.
To stir up controversy
Dan, I have a higher power. My higher power is god, and god is evolution. God is also Krishna and god is science and Buddha and maybe Yaweh and Allah.
But mostly science and evolution.
God sure did make Marijuana!
Thank you god, im gonna roll a blunt RIGHT NOW to smoke with my almond latte!
Oh, I missed the point. God created the maijuana plant for the same reason he created saddam hussein and hitler, child porn and george bush, he ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU! Not you Dan, just anyone who talks about the garden and snakes, satan and stuff.
god created ganja so that man can smoke it and run over little kids in the walmart parking lot. children make good speed bumps. p.s. marijuana is only illegal b/c at one time the hemp was used to hang color folks b/c hemp is stronger than cotton will ever be.
why did God create mosquitos?
nobody really knows.
just because he can.
He didnt. It evolved from other plants over many centuries.
I found this cannibis timeline… pretty interesting!
http://www.ukcia.org/culture/history/chrono.html
God didnt create the marijuana plant, I created the marijuana plant.
He didn’t… the DEVIL DID!!!!
coz green is very pretty
Medical stuff.
Many things that were created to be good, are used in a bad way.
He did it, to amuse us. Also, that we might have an answer to being in love…”Stoned and I missed it.”
He did it, to amuse us. Also, that we might have an answer to being in love…”Stoned and I missed it.”
God never said that smoking marijuana was bad, men decided that. The hemp plant has many uses other than the obvious: as an anti-nausea medicine, to make rope, canvas, nets, and paper. The U.S. Constitution was written on hemp paper and the seeds were used to fuel burning lamps. The notion that God created cannabis to tempt people into indulging so that they would end up in hell is about the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard.
so people that had cancer in the state of callifornia could smoke it and feel the need to eat and so that the hippies could abuse it!
Well he created rocks too, but I don’t think he made ‘em so people could try to smoke ‘em.
temptation
to make druggies happy.
i like your questions.
Only for those who want to smoke it
becuz so it can make the goody ppl look better.
For enjoyment. Why does something that brings enjoyment have to be a sin? Cuz ur mommy told you it was? THINK people!
Why did he create Anthrax? Does he hate Tom Daschel? Or maybe we should just attribute everything to Him but not ask questions. I think that’s the illogical way out.
to make people happy
God doesn’t really need a reason WHY he created something…Everything was made for a purpose. Just some purposes aren’t meant to be know.
Or I’d agree with what most people are saying.
Darn hippies…
In a form of intelligent design in which evolution exists but everything is planned by God, yes.
yah. he created everything..
because marajuana is amazing.
duhhh.
also,
talk2Ben, its not march 20, its APRIL 20th.
because like everything else, it has its place and role to play, as silly as that might sound.
haha…the marajuana plant was invented to feed the deer, and other animals. It was man who figured out that crushing up its leaves and snorting/smoking/eating the product gets you high.
I’m sure the deer got a kick out of it though.
for people to relax with
Why not?
Probably the same reason he created the tree with the fruit we weren’t supposed to eat.
people can’t get past the “druggie” aspect of marijuana. Marijuana is a very useful plant. It staves off nausea, and controls spasticity, and pain. For some people it absolutely makes living tolerable. Can you tell I am a proponent of medical marijuana? Have I ever tried it? Only twice, 25 years ago in brownies.
1) it could be an evolved form of another herb used for medicine (like it is now.) or, 2) He could have created it for a certain animal that eats only that, like the koala eats eukalyptus.
perhaps it was an experiment to test his people
perhaps it was an experiment to test his people
I believe he created the marijuana plant to give people an excuse for reading your blog.
i think that everything is put here for a reason. i dont think that marjiuana is such a bad thing. it’s like anything else, use in moderation. people overdo it and becos idioits, just like people overeat and become unhealthy. its all about keeping things in check.
you could ask this question of anything “bad” in today’s society. but with this particular question, for temptation, perhaps. although some may say for “medicinal purposes,” i do believe there are other treatments for what marijuana is used for. and if they are not, then i’m sure something else would have been discovered… medicinal marijuana happened to be first.
who says god created everything? what about the big bang?
i know im gonna get into trouble with this comment.
god has put many things in this world which are laballed bad and are bad but he puts these things as a test for mankind, marijuna generally is bad, god tests humans how they use it
i have no idea.
Goddamn, Dan…hilarious question and equally amusing responses…
misattribution, bias, ridiculousness, it’s all here.
Just another thing to create. Or another pasttime for humans. Or maybe so they would be rewarded once they used their brains to figure out its effects.
to use, obviously. same with tobacco.and coca
> The being in question is all-knowing, all-seeing, etc….. It was created for its medicinal purposes and corrupted by that fallible, corruptable, being known as us….
Peace
To give people a chance to cure their illnesses.
It makes brownies taste better. God is the master chef.
That assumes that he did, which assumes that he exists. But if he did, he did it because it contributes to the ecosystem. -Adriene
I agree with Adriene. But I do not believe that God exists. After all, look at the phrase. “Believe in God”. I would only believe in Him, not know He exists.
So people could smoke it… tobbaco is more harmful than marijuana anyway. The only reason it’s not legal is because it can’t be detected in the bloodstream (so there’s no way to tell if someone is driving stoned and there’s no real way to control its use).
to give people a way to relax?
yep
oh, I meant to say,
I don’t care.
yes
Marijuana is a vegitable.
Reminds me of the lyrics to a King’s Missle song… “Jesus turned water to wine, and if he wanted to, he could have turned wheat into marijuana or vitamin pills into methanphedimines. Jesus was way cool. No wonder there are so many Christians.”
Also, back in “Bible days” they didn’t have random drug testing, so it was cool to do and you wouldn’t get fired from your job as a flannelgraph model.
A deity with a sense of humor. Go figure.
yes, because it only becomes evil when used wrongly… such is free will.
I wish I knew
that is about the stupidest question.
