Marijuana impairs your thinking, and kills your brain cells. i have heard of a guy who went to college with someone i know and took marijuana and did not wake up the next day. this especially happens when you take it with other medicines. most people who are pro marijuana are the ones who take it themselves. i have yet to meet someone pro marijuana who didnt take it themselves. even non jews do not take marijuana and are anti it for the same reason. we have many college class discussions discussing the cons and pros (the pros were all proven false) of marijuana and there are people there who have admitted to having taken it and they say how many issues it has given them. Take for example someone who is paralyzed and all they have left is there brain and they have lost everything else and marijuana has been said to help take off pain would they rather lose everything including their ability to think and do things in order to take off of their pain and suffering of their sickness? i didnt think so. pro proven false. Hashem does NOT want us to harm ourselves or our bodies marijuana does so why would a place who is working to help us keep kosher for Hashem give us the ability to destroy ourselves when Hashem doesnt want us destroying ourselves? It destroys our ability to learn which means it destroys our ability to learn Hashem’s Torah why would the ou do such a thing?
