Spiritual Dangers of Recreational Marijuana | Desiring God
I host "Transparent Training Union" (virtual Samson Society meeting) Sundays at 5 PM CST. As such, I have a non-regular attendee who's a pothead, and he's not shy about being "high as a kite" whilst attending "TTU".
As you can imagine, he's not one to contribute much of anything (of any substance), whilst being inebriated, due to his impaired state of mind.
I've told him (one-on-one during "TTU's" after meeting) that I don't believe his recovery is benefiting in anyway by his marijuana use (whether it's prescription or recreational or some combination). He respectfully disagrees whilst letting me know that I'm "entitled to my opinion".
I recently asked my Samson Hero about this situation. Here's my email below:
"Another item that's arisen, that I need your help with, are pot heads that come to TTU high. And I know they're high on marijuana because they gloat about it.
These brothers can't / don't share anything of any substance because they're inebriated. Plus, I have no idea if they're clearly hearing anything else that's being shared or even truly remembering to keep everything in strictest confidence. Since I've no experience with marijuana, I have no point of reference.
If TTU was an in-person meeting, I'm assuming an inebriated brother wouldn't be allowed in (assuming he somehow made it to the meeting).
During TTU's after meeting tonight, I was left with an inebriated guy, and after disclosing (again - he's done this in other TTU meetings he's chosen to attend) that he was high as a kite, I let him know that I believed using marijuana wasn't helping his situation. He respectfully disagreed with me.
What are your thoughts? Should I simply look the other way as a meeting host, or do I take steps to barr him from TTU or something in between?
This is new territory for Rob."
I'm looking forward to hearing back.
