Voting Question: Question about Marijuana, music and Islam?
Let me run down the last year of my life. I'm 16, I started smoking herb last april and pretty much every day since, that got me into Hendrix, which got me into anti-government research, which got me into the whole satanic conspiracy and prophecies, which brought me to God through Jesus with Christianity, which eventually got to me to where I am now, Islam. I never really had a reason for smoking. I did not think of it as a way to just get high or just for the fun of it, but I did it because when I smoke, I meditate, and it brings my thoughts as clear in my mind as they can ever be. I sometimes go through entire speeches in my mind and I could never think of such things or say these things when I'm sober, 3 or 4 thoughts, at the same time, and on the same subject enter my mind. Every night, I smoke a few bowls turn on Hendrix close my eyes and drift off into my mind. I can actually see how huge my mind is when I close my eyes. I can actually at will, go through my mind and I see stars moving extremely fast as I travel and see colors and patterns and beautiful things. This made me more interested in meditation and chakra healing, and thus has brought me inner peace, whenever I am upset I can calm myself down to sometimes complete peace which I never could do. I now spend my days playing guitar, drawing, listening to music, and meditaing all in between. I've dropped out of school and isolated myself from the government and society, I let God guide my life and since nothign happens my life, the signs he has sent me tell me for sure it's him, and he's broguht me to where I am now. and So, to the point, I recently did some research and found out that African tribes once used music for Satanic purposes, which is why it is Haram. And that any intoxicant is Haram. So music, and marijuana, two things that my life revolves around are prohibited? If Satan used music to brainwash us and send subliminal messages, then I understand, but the way I Know it, God used Hendrix, God used Bob Marley, and God used Marijuana to bring me, and I'm sure a huge amount of people closer to God, so I vowed to use my music to spread God's word and hope he is not upset with me for that, since the guitar is the only possible thing I can see in my future. Then with marijuana, it was the first part of bringing me to God, and is the source, next to God, for bringing the most people together, and brought what was the closest to world peace in history. the satanic government says it's bad, they're right? Of course not. I understand cigarettes are horrible, I will never smoke a cigarette or drink a sip of alcohol for the rest of my life. I fully understand the difference between recreational and non-recreational. I don't quite know what I would call how I use marijuana. I am basically the same as I am when sober, but without negativity, and with rapid thinking, and my emotions are full, music is beautiful, and when I pray, I can actually feel God listening. I feel God inside of me while I pray and it's a warm great feeling that comes from my chest area and I pray with a smile the entire time. And when I'm finished, it fades away. I don't want to upset God, I tell him this every time I pray. Yes, marijuana has brought harm to my family but that is only because the government put it in their brains that it will make me crazy and ruin my life. Please read all of this and please take this very seriously, because without music or marijuana, I will just be a 16 year old kid sitting in my house the entire day only with thought. Yes sometimes I pray after I've smoked and I do sometimes have trouble to focus and my speech is sometimes slurred, but once I focus I take my stoned self and put him away until I'm finished praying.
i did some more research about the herb in islam and was reading all about how it is frowned upon by many and I asked God for guidance, and instantly I clicked a random link and read about one person who gave the best evidence to why it is not prohibited, marijuana is not a toxin, in order to be an intoxicant, it must be a toxin, alcohol effects us by harming us and the buzz we get is the harm were getting, it is a toxin. when people say weed is an intoxicant, they obviously base that by the effects, but it would be the same if you would eat a bucket of salt, you would get effects from that, like high blood pressure, but its not an intoxicant, that would mean that everything is potentially an intoxicant
