I agree …good discussion and I completely understand where you’re coming from…..I think you may be interpreting it more strictly than what was meant but there’s nothing wrong with playing it conservatively if that’s how one feels. I think the meaning of it is talking more about an overall lifestyle and behavior of an individual and not condemning the use of anything that alters your mood or state of being. If that were the case then what about sugar, caffeine???.....What about dopamine and adrenaline that you produce naturally??? Lots of things are mood altering, etc…..

One last question before let this one go…..I’m just curious how folks see this part of it……Why did God put Marijuana here on Earth if it was wrong to use it? What’s the passage say about giving us all the plants to use, etc..etc….I forget the exact wording…..Do you think he made a mistake when he made marijuana??
