If a state is going to allow medical marijuana to be sold, they should do it out of a doctor's office, not an individual's home. A criminal is not going to even consider robbing a doctor's office when a private home offers a much easier target with less chance of being caught.

Yeah, I saw this story a little while back and it made me wonder. Still, you have to admit that it's true that pot dealing is more or less a "normal" activity at colleges. Has been since before I went to college in the late 70's. But so long as it's classified as illegal, dealing in it will be far more dangerous than selling tobacco or alcohol. That's where the danger comes from, far more so than from the stuff itself.
These people need to re-think a lot of things, it seems to me.

Very simply, God has made us to be capable of great joy and peace, and the excitement of siimple godly living. Drugs are antithetical to this natural state and are justifiably banned as a public endangerment and nuisance. Most people are at least tempted to go on to harder stuff from pot. Our culture is fast becoming a drug-infested slum land. The drug culture is a world best not traversed.
Only fermented drink, pariticulaly wine, is allowed in Scripture, and that only in moderation. Drunkenness is considered a sinful use of this libation. Certain persons under spiritual discipline were not allowed to even have wine.
