Description

Today we’re tackling a question more and more Christians are asking: Is there a biblical perspective on using medicinal cannabis or CBD oil? As these options become more widely used for pain, anxiety, or chronic illness, many believers are left wondering—Is this wise? Is it biblical? Is it beneficial? While the Bible doesn’t mention cannabis or CBD by name, it does give us principles, as with alcohol use, for discernment, self-control, sober mindedness and honoring God with our bodies. And of course, we need to ask—how do we distinguish between responsible medicinal use and the recreational cannabis use that may dull the mind or lead us away from God’s best? In this episode, we’ll explore how Scripture helps us navigate this complex topic with clarity and care. Mike Davies and Morne van der Walt, elders in the life JoshGen give some perspective on the subject, Morne from his background as a pharmacist and Mike from a biblical perspective.
