The Right to Use God's Plants for Pain.

God knew man would have pain in life because he is omnipotent and knows all things and because God is omnipresent and knows the past present and future for each of us and the entire world.

I believe the Lord created us and understands how our bodies operate and will eventually break down and fail. He knows our human strengths, limitations, frailties, and weaknesses.

He knew us from before we we are born and knows all the accidents, injuries, diseases, and obviously all the pain we would suffer in this relatively short life on earth when compared to the length of eternity.

 

The good news is:

  1. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
     
     
  2. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
     
    Revelation 21:4
    ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

 

God's gift to mankind also includes the free natural pain killing plants he created for mankind's pains but mankind outlawed His pain plants in favor of man made synthetic medications patented for profit as I pointed out in the article I wrote called The American Pharmaceutical Rip Off.

  

Please read the following Bible verses below that show how plants were used in the Bible to treat pain and disease and were not criticized like alcohol is in the Bible

 

Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
 
The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
 

To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

 
To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.
 
It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
 
“Go up to Gilead and get balm, Virgin Daughter Egypt. But you try many medicines in vain; there is no healing for you.
As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were loaded with spices, balm and myrrh, and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.
Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift—a little balm and a little honey, some spices and myrrh, some pistachio nuts and almonds.
The men designated by name took the prisoners, and from the plunder they clothed all who were naked. They provided them with clothes and sandals, food and drink, and healing balm. All those who were weak they put on donkeys. So they took them back to their fellow Israelites at Jericho, the City of Palms, and returned to Samaria.
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people?
 
“Go up to Gilead and get balm, Virgin Daughter Egypt. But you try many medicines in vain; there is no healing for you.
Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken. Wail over her! Get balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.
“‘Judah and Israel traded with you; they exchanged wheat from Minnith and confections, honey, olive oil and balm for your wares.
 
Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”
 
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
 

John 3:16 New International Version (NIV)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
 

down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.


 
Myrrh (These plants were used in traditional Chinese medicine, perfume and incense, and used in the bible.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 



 
 
I believe these Bible verses imply that God also created grape vineyards for making wine, and grains for making beer for pain! 
 
God also created Myrrh which is a plant used in Chinese Medicine.
 
And the Bible also mentions balm which was apparently used as a medicine to relieve or help cut pain.
 
So I believe God made all the plants including pot plants, poppy plants, coca plants, mushrooms, cactus, lichens, herbs, and many other plants for us to plant, cultivate, harvest, eat as food, and used as medicine to treat different types of pains, injuries, and diseases people would experience while living on earth.
 
I believe God created these free pain killing plants for us to use as a gift for his people and all animals because He is full of mercy and grace.
 
He knew we would have pain in this life and would eventually die from our sins as written in Romans 6:23.
 
A good piece of news is that there won't be any pain or weeping in heaven as in Revelation 21:4 which is another gift from God.
 
I believe some of God's Plants were made to be pain killing medicines but man outlawed and prohibited His free plants and replaced them with expensive man made synthetic pain killers for profit and greed!

In the process of outlawing God's free medicinal plants, Governments around the world created criminal black markets for these different plants to be cultivated and sold by criminal elements that wanted to profit off of God's free pain killing plants. 

These world wide plant prohibition laws created dangerous and greedy gangs around the world instantaneously!

And they were not all gangs that tried to profit from Gods pain medicines over history. Ironically some Governments have sold God's pain killing plants for profit like the gangs we have today.

The British Government shipped and sold opium from India through the British East Indies Trading Company to the Chinese people in the early 1800's until the Chinese Government caught and captured the British East Indies Trading Companies' fleet of ships and crews carrying opium to every major port in China in a huge drug bust. This led to the Opium Wars that you can read about on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars

Great Britain was not the only government accused of selling God's medicinal pain killing plants for profit. The US CIA also was investigated by the US Government in a Contra cocaine trafficking scheme back in the 1980's under Ronald Regan's second term as President of the US which can be read about at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_involvement_in_Contra_cocaine_trafficking .

So did mankind and governments around the globe make a big mistake outlawing or prohibiting the cultivation, sale and use of  God's free medicinal plants?

Should we continue to outlaw what grows freely and naturally from the seeds created by God around the globe even though we know it creates dangerous criminal black markets and greedy gangs around the world?

I believe in ending the prohibition of God's Medicinal Plants and the war on organic drugs. This would cut the cost of these drugs taking away the high profits that gangs and cartels thrive on and even kill for! 

Cutting the price of God's Medicinal Plants on the street would mean addicts could afford their safer cleaner FDA approved organic medicines and they would not  have to steal for to feed their habits.

The crime rate would thereby drop significantly so that less judges, less public defenders, less cops, less prison guards, less probation officers, and less parole officers would be needed.

Reducing the crime rate and number of incarcerated prisoners would cut government costs in the criminal justice system, lower real estate costs for prisons, cut prison construction costs,  reduce prison administration costs, lower prisoner food costs, cut heating and air conditioning costs, and reduce medical treatment costs.

Throwing people in jail for using drugs also takes income tax paying citizens out of the work force and lowers government income tax revenues.

So keeping people working and paying taxes would thereby help reduce government budget deficits and keep the addict off welfare which is another huge government cost saver for the government.    

I believe if addicts could afford cheap clean organic drugs there would be far less drug overdoses because legal drugs would be checked for strength and purity and stamped safe by the FDA.

People would no longer buy dangerous drugs on the street cut with other dangerous drugs like fontanel or bathtub made methamphetamine.

This would mean less overdoses and emergency paramedics, less doctors, less nurses and less emergency vehicles like cop cars, ambulances, and paramedic trucks, thereby reducing government medical costs even more.

Some of the money saved could be used to cut huge budget deficits in American towns and cities and hopefully some money would be spent on rehabilitating people instead of incarcerating people which I think makes far more sense.

Violent prisons turn out violent people that are more violent when they come out and many prisoners develop psychological, psychiatric, and other medical problems that ultimately drive up healthcare costs. Prisoner fights and sleeping on steel or concrete ruins prisoners backs, necks, and shoulders for life there by increasing orthopedic and other medical costs to the government.

Please read what a few US Presidents, Senators, Congress People, Scientists, Business Icons, Politicians, Musicians and other World leaders have said regrading this hot topic by clicking the link just below. 

Legalization of Drugs!

 

And I also believe the following Bible verses in the Old and New Testaments show that Alcohol is a dangerous liquid to drink or mess with. This only makes sense since it is seven drugs in one being a stimulant, a depressant, a anesthesia, a blood thinner, a antiseptic, a anticoagulant and _____?

 

Leviticus 10:9

“You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the tent of meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come,
 
Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.
  
Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
 
Whoever loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.
 
Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish!
 
Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine.
 

Saying 19

Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
 
 
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks,
 5:18
 
There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.
 
Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.

 

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.

 

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,
 
Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
 
To be continued.
