“Licit Drugs”

Tuesday, July 10, 2012

     Is it okay for a Christian to use medical marijuana if it is medically necessary?

Sincerely,
Sick

Dear Sick,

God condones taking medication for our health problems.  Paul told Timothy to take some wine for his stomach (1 Tim 5:23).  The sick were told to have the elders pray over them and anoint them with oil – oil was used as a medicine (Jas 5:14).  Drugs used recreationally are an abuse of their purpose, but when used properly for medical purposes (i.e. as prescribed by a doctor), there is no problem.
