I would also question the logic. GOD does want joy, but happiness can be received from a lot of things...but that does not mean that everything is from GOD.

Well, maybe we can start by naming a few things NOT from God. I'm already stumped.
I think that the u.s. has thrown the baby out with the bathwater. There re some very beneficial uses for weed...unfortunately some people use weed just for fun. But there is a strain of weed that has been developed and I am ok with it growing in the ditches everywhere https://www.leafly.com/sativa/charlottes-web
For me charlottes-web maintains the health benifiets of weed and people can not abuse it (didyou know that I am told that a material that is stronger than steel but lighter than plastic can be made from hemp, plus a large amount of biomass could be produced. Because the stuff grows like a weed)
Well, I am absolutely with you about the U.S. having strayed from God's Will.
In fact, I'm about to make a post dealing with this using Scripture as support.
As for Charlotte' web and Rick Simpson oil -- I'm told -- is another: Yes, if one is genuinely in need of medical assistance and is truly using marijuana as medicine, then the use may be right by God.
My only medical uses for marijuana were for fighting against depression and helping with my ADD (to the extent that is really a thing). These concerns I believe God can solve for me through living in his Word. Also, through fellowship, as I'm enjoying in these conversations taking place in the comments and on other #christian-trail posts, I believe God is healing the same ills I once attempted to solve using weed.
I would like to recommend a book, the book is called "A More Excelent Way by Hennry W. Wright" https://www.christianbook.com/more-excellent-way-health-book-and/henry-wright/9781603741019/pd/741011
From what I understand the book comes at much cronic illness from the standpoint that many people need spiritual/emotional healing. And much sikness is just a symptom of the way that we look at things. With that said I might say that pot might be a bandaid that you are using to cover up a deep wond.
At some point I think that it would be helpful if I studied the entire book! (also can you tell me about Rick Simpson oil-Thanks)
Yes, pot was a band aid for me as well as it being a crutch.
Rick Simpson oil is a very powerful and concentrated form of cannabis, intended for medicinal use. I've heard of it being consumed in capsules, swallowed and also used topically.

Thank you for the book recommendation. I'll make a note and look into book some.
Also I want to say that each of us deals with different problems. satan would like to cause us to think that all tempetation should disappear when a person becomes a Christian, but that is not true. I know a guy that when he gave his heart to CHRIST he was delivered from years of smoking tobacco. The man did not even crave a cigarette, but then one day he smoked a cigarette to help keep him awake and he was hooked on cigarettes...but this time when he tried to quit his journey as marked with withdraws.
