🌱 When People Call You a “Junkie” — Medical Cannabis Use

🌱 When People Call You a “Junkie” — Medical Cannabis Use

When people call you a junkie because you believe in plant food and medicine 🌱😂 — I can’t even be hurt by it anymore. While they eat dead flesh, pop real synthetic pharmakia/drugs, drink alcohol every day, do cocaine, or just smoke cigarettes (which I don’t even do), and you can drink or eat cannabis…

I’m not out there on the internet calling people drug addicts, even if they are. Because I know they are often hurt and broken people who need help, not judgment. It’s okay — we can’t help everyone.

I don’t even speak to some of my own family members anymore because I can’t handle how drug addiction slowly takes over their soul and hurts themselves and everybody around them — way too often.

But calling me a drug addict? That’s a bad joke — or just plain lies. Look in the mirror before you point fingers.

I ran away from home at 13 partly because I wanted to escape my mom’s drug addiction and constant pill-popping. She even started giving my sister and me pills, and by 11 years old, I saw her sniffing cocaine at home. I’m also a human trafficking survivor — the trafficker was a drug-addicted online met boyfriend, who wasted money on drugs and alcohol he didn’t even have. So he “had to sell me” — not because he was looking for work, but because he was looking for men online to sell me to quickly, so he could “keep the party going.”

I know exactly what terrible things people on drugs are capable of doing — either while high or just to get more. I promised myself never to be that. And I’m not.

Yes, I drank a lot during hard times in life and learned to drink way too young. I own that and I’m sorry for whoever I hurt while drunk. But I’m not a drug addict. Let’s get that fact straight. I try to stay away from alcohol myself too now or drunk people.

Stop telling lies about people. Find a real hobby. Lies like that can destroy lives!

Yes — I am poor and homeless again in life. But it’s not because I’m a drug addict. Legal cannabis in Denmark — especially with THC — is too expensive.

If I had kept taking the morphine and endless pills the system tried to feed me since I was a kid, I probably would have been a drug addict by now. But I said, Enough. Stop. I even quit therapy when they refused to offer just talking without pushing drugs. Sometimes it feels like asking the system for help is like a contract with the devil.

I am against how the system creates real drug addicts — giving out opioids for free — while I can’t even afford my daily plant medicine and an apartment at the same time!

Thanks to a vegan/edenic diet and using cannabis tea or cacao, I don’t need morphine or to go to docters all the time. It helps me survive life and actually live a little — not just lie in bed all day. Cannabis lets me stand or walk for 1–2 hours a day (or every other day) and even find moments of peace and relief from constant pain here while my leg still is in recovery and docters couldent promise life without pain.

And I have not lost hope in total healing, cause 8 have tried it before. But as long as life is as it is. Yes — I will continue to use cannabis until Jesus fully heals me again. Amen. I can barely walk. I live in a shelter on the 3rd floor with no elevator. I have a dog to carry down the stairs and walk daily. My homeless husband helps when he can, but he has his own struggles. The cannabis helps in my life too.  

I’m not ashamed to say I’m pro-cannabis for medical use! But that doesn’t mean I think healthy 16–17-year-old kids should be smoking it, or that it’s okay to do 10 grams a day and smoke your whole life away. I actually believe smoking is unhealthy in general and only use it in tea cacao oil or erb soups.

When will the world stop seeing cannabis as a “drug” while blindly taking real drugs not from God? Or maybe just stop lying about people they don’t even know. Is a little honesty in the world too much to ask?

🌿 A Few Bible Verses About God’s Plants, Food, and Medicine

🌱 Creation & God’s Gift of Plants

Genesis 1:29

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”

Proverbs 15:17

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fattened ox and hatred with it.

Daniel 1:12–17

12 “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.”
14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.
16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.
17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.

🌱 Healing from Plants

Revelation 22:2

Down the middle of the great street of the city, on each side of the river, stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

🌱 God Made Plants for Medicine

Ezekiel 47:12

Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.

🌱 God Created Herbs for Use

Psalm 104:14

He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate—bringing forth food from the earth.

🌱 Plants for Healing & Provision

Ezekiel 34:29

I will provide for them a land renowned for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations.

🌱 Use of Plants in Anointing & Worship

Some believe cannabis (possibly “kaneh-bosm”) was part of the holy anointing oil recipe:

Exodus 30:23

Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant cane...

The “fragrant cane” (Hebrew: קנה בשם – kaneh-bosm) is debated — some scholars think it’s calamus, but others argue it could have been cannabis.

If you judge me for using the plants God made, maybe you should read His Word again. 🌿✝️

Peace be with you dear truth seeker ✨ 🌱 ☮️
