IS MEDICINAL MARIJUANA ALLOWED?

um what about medicinal marijuana and marijuana in general so I have a uh a Shure about it on the internet and uh you could just type my name on the Internet your own ruen marijuana or drugs or something like that and you'll see a whole Sho about uh marijuana but we've asked this question but I'll answer you anyway because just for the sake of uh you having something to to go home with the first commandment in the Ten Commandments tells us that he took us out of Egypt then he tells us in the second commandment that we're not allowed to have any other God then he tells us to not use his name in vain so the first three Commandments tell us that we have a certain set of responsibility of where we spend our time how we even spend our where our mind is and so on and so forth and explained to us that we are not allowed to intentionally alter our state of mind and the reason why is because you have to know that is next to you at all times not just when you go to theet not just when you learn Torah not just when you're eating and doing not even just when you're putting on at all times is next to you which means if he's next to you you have to be prepared now that means you have to be prepared to talk to the King of Kings you have to be able to talk to him you have to be able to pray to him you have to be learn to if a person really has that in his mind they're not going to want to alter their state of mind now if a person Alters their state of mind electively Shalom says somebody that alters their State of Mind by taking drugs whether it be marijuana or any other type of drug electively for fun they are considered a a the Tora says is a wayward child that would be given the death penalty so that means that that person is violating the Ten Commandments because he's altering his state of mind he's putting himself in a literally in a state of mind that he's not able to talk to Hashem it's like for example if you were going to get a job all of you guys I'm assuming you want to work one day and make a lot of money probably right what do you want to do when you grow up I'd like to own oil tanker or oh so you want to be a billionaire not just a millionaire a millionaire okay multi-millionaire that's just 1 million multi okay now on the way to become a multi-millionaire you're going to have to have a boss at some point probably right and at some point you're going to have to have big customers too now imagine you're going to a meeting with the biggest customer in the world you're going to meet I don't know Exxon or something you're going to meet the best of the best now are you going to go to that meeting hi no right why not because they want 100% Consciousness you want them to know that you're all there with them you want them to respect you because of who you are and not some uh uh you know some uh mushroom that you have in your head and uh you look at the guy he looks like an elephant sometimes and you know no you want to know ah I'm here he's here we're going to do some business together we're going to do some business together now that customer one day is going to turn to nothing why he's flesh and blood is always going to be here he's the king of kings we have to know that we are meeting him whether we want to or not at all times so when a person Alters their state of mind they're disrespecting the King of Kings much more important than the customer of all customers now on the other hand the second part of your question is what about medicinal marijuana meaning marijuana that somebody needs for medical reasons because they have uh some type of disease it be arthritis it could be a cancer it could be all types of terrible diseases that have a lot of pain you are in luck I'm an expert in pain I've been experienced it every day of my life for the last 17 years so now I know a little bit about this now the good news is about pain is that there are treatments for pain not all treatments alter your state of mind yes you can use marijuana to help your pain some people helps them some people doesn't some people just gets them high but they still have the pain some people helps them so they get high right and they don't have the pain anymore but the good news is that does not want us to sin so what did he do he gave somebody the idea he's like you know what why don't you take out the part the THC part that gets people high take it out take the CBD and give him just the medicine that way you can get rid of the pain without getting high and even more so convince the government to make IL legal and sell it in CVS stores ah there you go so if somebody really wants it for medicinal reasons they can get it for medicinal reasons without getting high which means that anybody that's taking it for medicinal reasons and still getting high guess what they want to get high they want to get high and for that there's a punishment there's a special chamber it's nice and hot waiting point being abai it's not good for you it's not good for you for a lot of reasons aside from the sin aside from the sin I know a lot of people I know I'm much older than all of you I know a lot of kids that when I grew up marijuana was uh very common and not any different from today kids would smoke in in a uh in schoolyards and uh from ages of 10 11 years old 13 14 15 at all ages and they had no shame about it and they did it every single day I know one kid named uh Cheeto Cheeto Chicho something like that Cheeto Cheeto something like that whatever his name was in uh in New York and uh this kid uh literally was always smoking and one day we're on the bus and I asked them like listen doesn't it feel like weird to you to be high all the time he said no I smoke so much that for me to be not high is not normal for me not to be high is not normal he said I got I you the high is the normal for me now I don't know if he's still alive I doubt it but but I can promise you I can promise you that he cannot he cannot do a calculation of 15 * 15 how many of you can do 15 * 15 in your head how many how many of you can do 15 * 15 in your head how many of you can do 10 * 10 in your head 9 * 9 7 * 7 325 divided by 5 okay all of this stuff you're supposed to be able to do naturally why you have a f fantastic brain you have a fantastic brain that even if you don't think that you have a high IQ even if you took a test that says you are like a half a by the way your brain has more wiring in it than all of the technology in the world combined every time you smoke drugs regardless of what they are it's destroying that wiring it's killing that wiring and it's literally making you stupid unfortunately those brain cells don't regenerate so what happens now it's not a big deal one cigarette after another then another another joint another Bowl another this another that I know but I wasn't born yesterday I know don't worry now what happens in the beginning it's not a big deal in the beginning you feel like it's even making you smarter well guess what by the time you get to my age all of a sudden you forget people's names all of a sudden you don't even know where you are all of a sudden and the feeling you had that was kind of cool when you were 18 becomes standard and it's not cool it's not cool at all why cuz you get fired for stuff like that cuz they ask you how come you didn't meet the deadline oh I forgot we had a deadline what do you mean you forgot $5 million is depending on his deadline and you forgot what are you high no but uh I used to smoke used to smoke now's the results so if you want to get yourself to a level of stupidity continue smoking it's also a sin but it's also going to make you stupid now I know you're going to say yeah but there's a lot of really smart people that smoke uh yeah there are a lot of really smart people that smoke they would be smarter if they didn't [Music]
