Cannabis Indica extract was used in American medicines from about 1850 to 1937 when it was banned due to people smoking it rather than using it medicinally. The AMA did not want it banned, because small quantities in edible form can work as a mild sedative without intoxication. I use a 10mg THC/CBN gummy at bedtime. It causes mild drowsiness and helps me remain asleep. Large quantities and smoking anything is bad.
After being refilled with the holy ghost after 15 years of being backsid the first thing God did was convict me of smoking this garbage . He told me that I could not grow spiritually hanging onto sin. My wife and I have bought a house and are able to give more to the church with the money we have saved...
I'm the same way.. I love God.. and I smoked for years.. as I realized what the scriptures truly say and mean.. I see smoking is definitely sin.. and I can not be truly saved and continue in sin.. that's impossible.. if someone continue in sin, how are they saved.. God bless you..
@Bobby Zlatevski I did.. I had gotten saved in 1999.. then fell away from God after 2001.. I fell back into my old sin for many years.... which leads me to question wether I had truly received salvation.. I had many preacher's to tell me, I'm backslide but God doesn't take my salvation, I can never lose that.. well, I agree to a certain point.. yes the bible says once you been saved, God does not take that away, it's permanent.. but.. was I truly saved is the question.. because bible says a saved man does CAN NOT SIN, BECAUSE GOD IS IN HIM.. Bible doesn't say well hmm he might sin but. He is saved.. see if we kneel down and ask forgiveness, then God forgive us, everytime.. but, bible says drunk, liar, thief will not enter the kingdom of God, so those of us who continue in these things after being forgiven, do not have true salvation.. if we continue getting drunk or stealing or lying, then no we have not been saved from hell.. I believe the devil is really good at making people believe they been saved.. the ones who are truly saved, are those who have STOPPED WILLFULY SINNING.. even tho we all sinners, because our minds create sin by just its thoughts alone, so we repent daily.. but it's the WILLFULY done sin that we have to turn from.. we can't purposely go sin and continue getting drunk thinking God doesn't remove your salvation.. he don't, but ya don't got it anyway.. we gotta stop those things, when we do, God grants us true repentance.. God bless you..
@Bobby Zlatevski God bless you my brother, for I myself have fallen away from what is truly God and his will.. I love you brother, and the ONLY thing we can do, is pray in full faith, without doubt.. if we pray, and have the slightest doubt, God does not answer it.. of course God doesn't answer prayer if it's not his will.. but if it is his will, he always answer, IF WE PRAY IN FULL FAITH WITHOUT DOUBT IN HIM.. lots of people make this mistake, I myself was one of them.. I always kept doubt.. now I fully see why certain things were not answered, either it wasn't Gods will, or I didn't pray without doubt.. I came to see this truth.. any doubts will crush our prayers.. with this being said.. I AM A SINNER, FACT.. just as everyone else.. and I struggle daily with willfully sinning.. it's something we as brothers MUST TURN FROM.. or we will burn in hell.. I can't imagine that.. think about this for a second Bobby, when we pass away or Jesus christ returns, we meet God either way, if we are turned away, and cast into the lake of fire, God gives us this same body, with the same mind, and the same feelings we have here on earth.. and we know what it feels like to accidentally touch a burner, or get burnt, we jump away instantly to try and get away from that pain of being burnt.. can you set here 1 minute... and just think,, this body and its same feelings being burnt alive, without help.. no escape.. brother I do not want to burn.. at all.. none.. people don't realize the severity of our sins.. and not being saved, sanctified, covered in the blood of Jesus Christ.. so, brother, stay in prayer, pray without ceasing.. trust in Jesus christ, and all love from me to you and your entire family.. pray, without doubt.. always remember pray without doubt, and if its GODS will, he will answer it.. God bless you brother..
@Bobby Zlatevski I don't have any of them.. I don't even have a Facebook now.. I gave up my Facebook about 3 years ago.. and haven't looked at it since then.. aint nothing wrong with them.. I just needed a change.. so I stopped getting on.. there's so much false information spread across these platforms that half of the entire world has already been decieved..
Amen. I’m still backslid and I’m asking you to pray for me. Don’t go back ever ever never again. So happy for you that God has forgiven you and you’re full of salvation! I want that too!!!! So much…… If Jesus ever allows me to get the Holy Ghost again I will never go back ever again. I’m So happy for you and your family!!! Nothing is worth going to hell over… not one tiny little thing.
What about consuming caffeine instead of getting enough sleep? What about overeating or eating when not hungry? What about consuming MGO food stuff that is not after it's kind?
Caffeine can cause a high and can be addictive. In fact it can make you more alert and help you make better safer decisions(especially when I’m working a 24hr shift) It doesn’t cloud your judgement, studies show it is safe to consume in low to moderate amounts. Some people have eating disorders and need to eat even if they don’t feel like it. Some people when working out and trying to gain muscle mass need to eat a calorie surplus to gain healthy muscle weight. Is it a sin to force myself to eat more food so I can be stronger even though I am not hungry and don’t want to? I have never heard anyone raise a religious argument against GMO foods before and I haven’t studied it but I would say that God gave dominion over the earth to man and we have used that dominion over plants to make them produce more food. We are no longer bound by the old testament dietary laws. The apostles decided that the gentiles only needed to abstain from eating blood, things strangled, and things offered to idols. I don’t think GMO foods fall into any of those categories.
@@wraith41 God created every herb for food and medicine, for nourishment and healing, not to be abused, misused, or brought under the power of through excess and lack of self-control. We are to have dominion over all that is in the earth unfortunately many have become dominated by the herbs and food and of the earth. We are called to walk after the Spirit so as not to fullfil the lust's of the flesh. God flooded the earth because all flesh became corrupted where God's Law of kind was violated throughout the entire earth with angels, mankind, and animals mixing together. The Lord warned how as it was in the day's of Noah so shall it be when the Son of Man returns. It is also written that when we stand before God we are going to have to give account for the things done in our bodies. Our bodies are the temple of God which holds the Holy Spirit. We are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice holy, acceptable, and pleasing to God which is our reasonable service. Our bodies were purchased with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. We are to give God glory in all things including our bodies. If we put things in our bodies that break it down verses build it up we dishonor God by doing such. We are only judged on what we know so then shall we choose to refuse knowledge to evade judgement? What we put into our bodies should be a form of our love, devotion, and worship to our creator and blessed Savior. Unfortunately most don't take this seriously because they don't care, don't consider it important or still believe their bodies belong to themselves to do whatever they please with and deny Jesus's Lordship in this area of their own lives. I thank God for His grace and mercy yet we should strive to love the Lord our God with all our strength as in other words our bodies. We should also love the Lord our God with all our minds to seek out what is pleasing and acceptable to God in what we put into our bodies. The scriptures are the best point of reference as to what, when, how, where, and why the Lord considers acceptable and pleasing to put into our bodies.
@@wraith41 GMO foodstuffs violate God's Law of kind so in that instance that is a definite yes! Soft drinks and fast foods are something to be considered if people are continuing to consume it after it is either causing them harm or dominating them especially if they have other healthier options but refuse to choose them. Sometimes our available options aren't always the best ones and that's where God's grace comes in and is always a reason to give thanks to Him for.
So if I understand you correctly, here in Canada were all forms are legal for any reason, make sure you talk to your family doctor about it, get a prescription and purchase it from a government regulated supplier, not from the corner dealer. Please correct me if I am wrong. If need be a video regarding this under Canadian law or other countries that have also fully legalized marijuana such as the Netherlands.
Yes I think that’s what he recommends. The problem is however as he pointed out their are tainted forms of CBD out there and you can never really be sure what you’re getting. I’m still undecided on the matter.
It’s not a matter of law or not. There are many US states where marijuana is completely legal, some where it is illegal. It’s not about if it’s legal, or who you buy it from. It’s about the effects it has on your body. Alcohol is legal and you can buy it at any store. But it’s the effect it has on the body and the mind that is the problem.
Unfortunately due to allergy to medications, I'm having to use, and it has helped my mobility incredibly. Praying for healing, the pain is debilitating, IF I took the pain killers prescribed, it would be worst,plus, on top of other medications like zanax, all these meds are damaging my body more.
The saying is dumb and attempts to silence questions. People need to be allowed to ask honest questions and leaders need to stop giving such lazy answers. Bro Bernard thankfully actually tries to find an answer to the hard questions
I have much respect for my brother Bernard he said the perfect thing; seek God… I would add, it’s about the intent from the heart why one would take these substances whether medical or otherwise. Only God knows this.. Scripture does say “Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts”. We must be led by the Spirt and always examine man’s teaching.
@@NicoleCB I believe that at the current time alcohol was probably their only option for pain relief and sedation. It’s like a doctor sedating or medicating someone who is in pain today. You would think it would be cruel to operate on someone without proper anesthesia today. So when someone back then was in a lot of pain they could medicate them with strong drink. You could look at this scripture as saying to have mercy on those who are in pain and suffering. Don’t just let them lay their in pain but help them. The verses directly before it condemns alcohol consumption by kings and princes lest they forget the law and it cloud their judgment. When you drink you drink, it takes away your good judgment. There are so many people who think they are sober enough to drive home after drinking. They break the law and due to that poor judgement thousands of people have died.
@@NicoleCB Hey God bless! To me every time I think or hear about the discussion of alcohol what comes to mind is Kings, Priest, Rulers, etc are told not to drink or partake of strong drink in Old Testament. You may ask well how does that relate to us now and my simple answer is scripture now calls all them that are born again a royal priesthood. So everyone that is born again now would be considered a priest therefore told not to partake in alcohol or strong drink. We are the temple of the Holy Ghost therefore always are in a position of ministry.
How about caffeine? It's both addictive and bad for you. Not trying to condone anything, just love truth. It's true that having a smoke a few times a day is frowned on, however a lot of Christians drink a Lot of coffee.
Right on , who says they are real Christians Paul talked a lot about false teachers out for your money . Gluttony is a sin too much sleep , food , alcohol all about self control which the holy spirit gives you if you pray a lot .
Dr. Bernard, does the spiritual nexus between CBD and marijuana not matter, since we know that they both come from the same realm which some believe is sorcerous? Does the connection of CBD with marijuana, which has proven its capability to compromise consciousness, conscience, and spirituality, indicate that we should pass on both forms of cannabis. Most important, does the mere fact that cannabis is known to have led to addiction, to have defiled judgment at times, and to have created broader strife suggest that any spiritual connection with cannabis and cannabis products might best be avoided? Finally, even if we take a more conservative stance than is necessary, would that not be the wiser approach? We seem to have a way of justifying whatever we are determined to do--often playing with fire. Why not find other natural and less controversial ways to alleviate pain that do not involve spiritual risks; is this really a chance that we should take spiritually? The fact the we have to debate the use of CBD oil suggests that it might best be avoided. Please address my questions in your next video on this topic. Thanks.
When we have to jump through a bunch of hoops just to figure out if it's acceptable for a Christian to use, then the BEST practice is to avoid it and rely on God and His Word.
@@joshuasmith9312 obviously no medical problem is bigger than God, but God doesn't always choose to heal does he. Do you believe in not going to the doctor as well?
@@Republican_Banana No, I do not believe that. However, that has nothing to do with my original point. If you have to rationalize and justify your use of something using worldly arguments, then it is best to avoid it. It is likely more harmful than meets the eye and also has a high likelihood of causing your brother to stumble--the Word cautions against this.
There's one preacher who said you can't have a beer because its a sin. I think hes wrong. Getting drunk is a sin. Smoking weed does open doors to demon so does everything else, like TV shows we watch. Listening to music, even when you eat too much food. We need to stop just focusing on weed. We need to look at everything else we do in life because life is spiritual.
If God saw that this was going to be a problem from the start, then why would he allow it to grow and exist in this world that he made and has complete control over all that's created on this earth. Also, the church talks all about the negatives of recreational drugs, but nobody talks about the rampant obesity that's happening in the UPCI church. We preach against recreational drugs but in turn they substitute it with binge eating which also destroys the temple of God.
Many of our medicines are modern inventions as well. People even in the days of the Bible had to use substances for pain. No condoning recreational use but to ignore actual medical use of natural substances, it seems God created things as medicine for us. As all medicines they should be used cautiously and not recreationally

“We oppose alcohol etc and that’s based on scripture”… Didn’t Jesus create wine for the guests that had already drank the cisterns dry? Doesn’t it say in Psalms 104 that God made wine to make merry the heart of man? All things in moderation, but if it’s sin to you then it’s sin to you.
Cannabis was burnt on the left hand Altar at the entrance to the Holy of Holies in a Temple in Tel Arad Israel. You speak on a subject you know little about both in scripture and in life
It says in the Word of God not to judge another for in the same measure you judge another so also you shall be judged. It also says to not be as an hypocrite in not practicing what you preach. If you preach against recreational psychoactive drug use and addiction then why isn't caffeine mentioned which is both psychoactive, addictive, and harmful to the body both increasing blood pressure and the stress hormone cortisol?
The problem is most people don't have the willpower to keep it at a reasonable level....also the wine in those days was half the alcohol content that it is today.
No it is not! Epilepsy is a disease, not a demon, how dare you say such a hateful thing. People with epilepsy are NOT demon possessed! It is a disease of the brain.
My grandfather had severe epilepsy (grand mal seizures). He fell off a swing when he was a child. It was simply a brain injury. There was no demonic activity involved whatsoever. He died in his early fifties. Keep looking for the devil and that's all you'll ever find.

Most important, does the mere fact that cannabis is known to have led to addiction, to have defiled judgment at times, and to have created broader strife suggest that any spiritual connection with cannabis and cannabis products might best be avoided? Finally, even if we take a more conservative stance than is necessary, would that not be the wiser approach? We seem to have a way of justifying whatever we are determined to do--often playing with fire. Why not find other natural and less controversial ways to alleviate pain that do not involve spiritual risks; is this really a chance that we should take spiritually? The fact the we have to debate the use of CBD oil suggests that it might best be avoided. Please address my questions in your next video on this topic. Thanks.
When we have to jump through a bunch of hoops just to figure out if it's acceptable for a Christian to use, then the BEST practice is to avoid it and rely on God and His Word.
Exactly! Amen
That's easy for people to say who aren't dealing with medical problems like pain.
@Republican_Banana If you think that medical problem is too big for God, you have much bigger issues than just pain.
@@joshuasmith9312 obviously no medical problem is bigger than God, but God doesn't always choose to heal does he. Do you believe in not going to the doctor as well?
@@Republican_Banana No, I do not believe that. However, that has nothing to do with my original point. If you have to rationalize and justify your use of something using worldly arguments, then it is best to avoid it. It is likely more harmful than meets the eye and also has a high likelihood of causing your brother to stumble--the Word cautions against this.
There's one preacher who said you can't have a beer because its a sin. I think hes wrong. Getting drunk is a sin. Smoking weed does open doors to demon so does everything else, like TV shows we watch. Listening to music, even when you eat too much food. We need to stop just focusing on weed. We need to look at everything else we do in life because life is spiritual.
Totally agree with your teaching!
Praise God Brother Conway!!! HALLELUJAH THE HOLY GHOST MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
No weapon fashioned or formed against me shell prosper
I wouldn't use it,if it WAS prescribed !!! Otter meds ARE available.
If God saw that this was going to be a problem from the start, then why would he allow it to grow and exist in this world that he made and has complete control over all that's created on this earth. Also, the church talks all about the negatives of recreational drugs, but nobody talks about the rampant obesity that's happening in the UPCI church. We preach against recreational drugs but in turn they substitute it with binge eating which also destroys the temple of God.
Right on See 11 Cor 7 : 1 Niv bible . True believers have to overcome any bad habit . That's what it's all about it says " he who overcomes Sin !!!!
The Word of God says that if you know what is right to do and don't do it you sin
I needed to hear this
He must be talking about medical Marijuana, getting a prescription from a Doctor.
Excellent guidance!
if you're doing it to alter your perception that's not good. It does cause psychosis in young people.
What Are your thoughts on cooking with alcohol?
Many of our medicines are modern inventions as well. People even in the days of the Bible had to use substances for pain. No condoning recreational use but to ignore actual medical use of natural substances, it seems God created things as medicine for us. As all medicines they should be used cautiously and not recreationally
❤️YESHUA made unfermented wine and calls fermented wine a mocker and a serpent in the Book of Proverbs and who is the serpent ...? The devil that loses when you Follow and Obey and KNOW YESHUA instead !!! SOBER is the WAY and the TRUTH and the NEW LIFE !!!🕊️

Getting high is not the same as over eating.
Caffeine?
In moderation is great for you . As many studies show .
why would you need prescription if you called yourself an apostle but cannot heal yourself?
Define irony, being told what not to do because your body is a Temple of the holy Spirit by two guys that are at least 30-40 pounds over weight a piece
cant love it till ya try it :)
❤️InTOXICation is sin according to the word of GOD and he hates it . and IF any of you lack Wisdom ,let him ask that of GOD who gives to Everyone Freely and FaithFully ,and that WILL ,be given him .James 1 vs 5 be WATCHING and SOBER and READY to do the Will of GOD Daily !!! 🕊️
“We oppose alcohol etc and that’s based on scripture”… Didn’t Jesus create wine for the guests that had already drank the cisterns dry? Doesn’t it say in Psalms 104 that God made wine to make merry the heart of man?
All things in moderation, but if it’s sin to you then it’s sin to you.
Cannabis is in the bible sir ?? Hello
Cannabis was burnt on the left hand Altar at the entrance to the Holy of Holies in a Temple in Tel Arad Israel. You speak on a subject you know little about both in scripture and in life
So why is alcohol not illegal and a sin? #agendas smh
Amen
Marijuana is not bad for you I hope you. It's not the same as cocaine or alcohol they kill
Dr bernard the cheese trap
It says in the Word of God not to judge another for in the same measure you judge another so also you shall be judged. It also says to not be as an hypocrite in not practicing what you preach. If you preach against recreational psychoactive drug use and addiction then why isn't caffeine mentioned which is both psychoactive, addictive, and harmful to the body both increasing blood pressure and the stress hormone cortisol?
Read my comments .
U eat inocent animals which turn into carcingen in the body u eat animal meat is as if u are a nicotine smoker ?

Check out the biblical basis for vaganism
Smoking it yes See 11 Cor 7 : 1 Niv bible .
U eat cheese which contains morphine check out the cheese trap dr bernard ?
It doesn't contain enough to affect a mouse let alone a person....lmao!
Even Jesus enjoyed wine from time to time
Right on .
The problem is most people don't have the willpower to keep it at a reasonable level....also the wine in those days was half the alcohol content that it is today.
Read genesis...all herb bearing seeds... this guy cherry picks
He never said he thought it was a “sin” to answer the original question. Great politician. lol
I said the same thing….
He never answered the question
epilepsy is a demon.
No it is not! Epilepsy is a disease, not a demon, how dare you say such a hateful thing. People with epilepsy are NOT demon possessed! It is a disease of the brain.
@@freedomnews7922 just because people have epilepsy doesn’t mean they’re possessed, they’re being oppressed by spirits brother.
My grandfather had severe epilepsy (grand mal seizures). He fell off a swing when he was a child. It was simply a brain injury. There was no demonic activity involved whatsoever. He died in his early fifties.
Keep looking for the devil and that's all you'll ever find.
@@freedomnews7922 I think he means that there can be demons behind this disease and Jesus can deliver the person from the oppression ... but also the disease can be natural and Jesus can heal the person. Truly we are walking in freedom and victory in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
@@tjaw8877 Jesus can heal any disease and Jesus can cast out any demon. You cant call anyone who has a disease demon possessed. There are many fine spirit filled saints of God who suffer from heart disease, COPD, ect. You have to have discerning of spirits to determine if someone is in need of healing or deliverance from a demons.
