I have a question for ya Neon. Isn't it against your religion to do drugs? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it stated that your body is not yours, it belongs to Allah, and therefore it is not yours to harm?

Islam explicitly forbids drinking alcohol, but scholars disagree as to whether ingesting other drugs is allowed or not. Most muslims dont drink, but if you go to muslim countries you see many who smoke tobacco. Now a lot of people wonder why alcohol is singled out among intoxicants. The practical reason is because alcohol is so readily available and appeals to more people than any other drug, and because the state of "drunkeness" is undesirable because you cant carry on your day-to-day activities, including praying, when you're drunk all the time. It also has a high potential for abuse Many muslims can therefore justify doing pot because even though it causes euphoria it doesnt prevent you from carrying on any activity. You can drive while on pot, take a test, carry on a conversation. Taking Alcohol in excess, however is dangerous and can lead to "irrational" behavior(being an asshole). Bottom line-you're not in a clear state of mind. Of course, most people dont become alcoholics, but according to scholars if you dont drink at all then theres a zero percent chance you'll become addicted, so thats why its totally forbidden. Thats the rationale.

As to your question, not harming your soul takes priority over not harming your body. If you pray five times a day, go on Hajj, fast, donate your money, get married, and raise muslim kids, read the Quran everyday, blieve Allah is the only god and Mohammed is the last prophet, then everything else is pretty minor. Anyway, its impossible not to harm your body. Every day you dont exercise, eat a fattening meal, go outside not wearing sunscreen then you do damage to your body.

People in the UK have a much higher chance of meeting muslims. Pakistanis and Indians are everywhere there.

Yeah I prefer Science but then you have to respect others.....it would be pretty boring if we were all one culture...some single cyborg existence..lol

but then maybe not we would all know the secret to growing the best weed lol
You could smoke it in the UK and we could feel it in the US...
As for the Muslims
there are a quite a few communities in BC...I went to one of the mosques there....it was beautiful and I have had muslim neighbors, so I get kinda upset when the rasicm starts up...
I have read a little of the Koran as it is translated on line but lost interest...it was too much like the Bible....

wish I was back in Canada... I will either be North or south of the border soon...it is sad to lose faith in your country you know?
hey thanks for your 2 pence...I like that...ever seen a toonie or a loonie?
have a good day...
