Marijuana Vs. Religion -- Which is more detrimental to the black community? #DATA --POLL ADDED

[Suleiman Bey]

Right, but the fact that there is, IS still a major issue.

AND

Are we looking at weed from a legal perspective or health perspective?

And the only reason why weed is illegal is because of Dupont and the textile industry being shut down because of the many uses of Hemp, which could have revolutionized textile industry in a whole, but Dupont was a greedy b*stard.

I can speak on the many miraculous and medicinal properties that marijuana has whereas the good out weighs the bad once you remove the propagandized stigma that have been put in place.

Yes, the great properties of being spaced out with glazed over eyes. Talking nonsense that wouldn't be spoken otherwise. Doing things you wouldn't "normally do". Good can come from those 2, but usually it doesn't.

Last time I checked a majority of Creeflo's people where black.

And I just used that as an example.

Are there even ALL black churches nowdays?

And the only reason why weed is illegal is to keep minorities (especially blacks) imprisoned

fixed for you

btw if you're really interested in the positive/negative effects of marijuana as it relates to black people's health you should read this book
Melanin : The Chemical Key to Black Greatness : The Harmful Effects of Toxic Drugs on Melanin Centers Within the Black Human

I think some of these guys are speaking from the standpoint of it being illegal and it leading to crimes and nikkas being put in jail. Which I can definitely see that said. @staticshock posted articles showing nikkas getting shot over half a pound and shyt.....thats ridiculous. When you got nikkas getting locked or killed for ounces and shyt i can see why someone would look at the drug as being detrimental to blacks. I think its easy to be out in Cali and feel like weed isn't a big deal.

Cops dont even give a fukk tbh. In SF I was outside the UNDFTD store smoking a joint, two cac cops walked buy and just smirked and kept pushing.

Got stopped at one of those DUI checkpoints that LAPD be doing on weekend nights....cop was like "Your car smells like weed" Im like "yeah i just bought some from a dispensary" he was like "Aight, just go man" didn't even ask for my ID or weed card. Seems like they dont feel like its worth pressing the issue.


But in other parts of the country nikkas would be fukked. shyts crazy out here

Y'all don't know how lucky y'all have it in Cali

Religion by far because its an institution. It shapes how people perceive the world around them. It shapes how critical people think. Shapes how people treat other people. And it indoctrinates people so early in life that it takes a happy coincidence of experiences/self discovery to break the programming.

Drug use and alcohol use in the Blk. community is no joke but religion has done far more damage IMO.

Theres going to be a lot of money to be made of legal weed in these upcoming years....it's gonna be hard enough for minorities to get a piece of the pie and its gonna be even harder with people spreading propaganda and shaming black people for smoking weed. You got a breh in here from ATL talking about all the trapping out there going on with weed. Man imagine if weed was legal out there and had a social equity program, how many black brehs would be getting paid? Black dispensary owners, black growers, black employees. It'd cut down on a lot of the bullshyt

Glad to see my Brehs get it!!!...

Marijuana is a tree that grows in the ground that affects your brain, mostly positively. It has negative physical and mental effects, but with moderate use this is somewhat negligible.

Religion on the other hand requires you to surrender yourself to a belief system that consistently contradicts the laws of nature, facts, science and common sense, and is in many ways incompatible with modern society. One cannot deny the good religion has done but one also cannot overlook the evil it has procured.

Religion requires strict adherence to a unique(ly outdated) set of beliefs. More specifically, the tenets of that religion. Let us call them commandments for the sake of convenience. However, the individual forms habits, routines, preferences, wants and needs that often deviate from said commandments. As a result, Religious persons often exhibit a curious phenomenon in which they select which commandments to follow, which to treat as mere guidelines, and which to flatly ignore.

This phenomenon often bleeds into real life, affecting debates, decision making and more importantly, arguments.

tl/dr religious people flip flop more than a cotdamn slipper factory

Good ideological point, where is the data that supports your claims?

Sidenote - It seems as though a lot of you are emotionally attached to marijuana in the same way people are attached to Jesus even to the detriment of the well-being of the community.Even when there's evidence that marijuana is the reason a lot of blacks are literally(not ideologically) in shackles. Interesting..

 

[kevm3]

Not sure why atheists are obsessed with the religious. Every other day is some new thread on how religion is doing this or that. How is something you don't even believe in preventing your success?

I don't wish to sound like a self re-enforcing fool who simply makes claims without evidence, but what I said above can be easily observed in real life. It would require more time than I would be willing to commit to provide examples with good context. I must admit, on the other hand, that all people are guilty of picking and choosing. It is only because many religious people claim adherence to their beliefs that they are held to that particular standard.

We don't judge the everyman because of his actions, but we scrutinize the fukk outta law enforcement and politicians because they are expected to uphold certain standards and benchmarks.
