Jesus and Mary (Jane) Barnabas Sprinkle Dmin

Two pastors from Southern Oregon (one, a Republican, and the other, a Democrat) lay aside their political differences to examine marijuana and cannabis through two lenses: hard science including medical journals from both inside and outside the U. S., and scripture itself. "Fact-filled, pastorally wise, biblically faithful."--Wayne Grudem, Ph. D. and author of Systematic Theology. Foreword by Christian Thurstone, M. D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Colorado School of Medicine. With questions at the end of each chapter, it is perfect for a small group study. Also, an easy read for anyone seeking the truth about the safety and efficacy of CBD and THC along with its theological and societal costs and implications. Goes into much detail about how marijuana affects developing brains (under the age of 25) as well as whether or not it is a "gateway drug." Both Charlie and Barnabas have first-hand experience of pastoring in the "Napa-Valley" of Pot, Southern Oregon and can tell you stories about the good, the bad, and ugh. Finally, it gives answers to biblical proof-texts for marijuana as well as hope and resources for the addict.
