Salam,
please do not be ignorant to my question, i am really starting to question wether or not it is haram.
I have hered that a intoxiant no matter what size is haram, so wouldnt tea, caffeine, nicotine, nutmeg be haram (Theres alot more)?
Also, define- intoxicated
past tense of in·tox·i·cate 1. (of alcoholic drink or a drug) Cause (someone) to lose control of their faculties or behavior.
Now what if it doesnt cause you too lose control?

Also not supporting it in any way, but helps you get closer to your deen?

Please dont say rude things i just need some answers cause this is debated on.
If it is proven to me to be haram than i wont get near it.

What has got into the Nation of Imam Al Mahd that they need to take drugs in order to feel better?

Our Drugs is the love of Ahlul Bayt
The begging of our acceptance of Allah

How can we be so relaxed, its as if we have forgotten that we will die and be accountable for our sins before the al mighty Allah

Drugs, seriously come on

[Photi]

go sip some tea then. oh wait, that's a drug too.

Whether it is haram or not, the way to get closer to your deen is in following the Sunna of the Prophet , not in smoking pot.  We're Muslims, not Rastas.

Salam,
you might want to look at it from a "everything that is bad for you is haram". It is well know that marijuana is bad for you while tea, for example, is not. So tea is not haram, marijuana is.

p.s.: Nicotine, according to sayyed Fadlallah is haram. I'm not sure about other scholars.

Wasslam

First tattoos and now marijuana.
We need to stop looking for reasons as to why marijuana could be halal. You can't reassure an intoxicant's benefits in an attempt to outweigh the haram which is so black and white. The question 'why' shouldn't even be asked with something like this, especially as a Shi'ah of Ahlul Bayt .
Shame on all those who find pros of something like this, in my opinion.

It looks like whoever drew your avatar was high on pot. I don't use it but it strikes me as odd that something that is part of nature can not be of used and has not any use.

[iSilurian]

I have met a sufi who says it is not a drug and is not haram.

But, marijuana does have far greater effects on people that things such as tea or caffeine.

If tea and caffeine are haram as well.  perhaps marijuana is a worst haram than sipping tea.

just my opinion.

It makes you lose your senses so its haram.

[P. Ease]

To those who say marijuana makes you lose control or senses. Clearly you've been smoking some other plants, not marijuana. It rather puts your senses/control to sleep. Hence the word ''stoned'', feeling like a ''stone'', not being able to do anything, just sit and be. So if we are talking about definitions, it does not ''intoxicate''.

However I do think it is haram, because it has been scientifically proven that it kills your short term memory cells, and at a longer recreational use, brain cells. Anyone who has anybody in their circle of family/friends/schoolmembers who smokes marijuana regularly can testify to this.

And i'd say that is another type of losing-your-senses. Not everything has to be like going crazy.

[Banooota]

I'm shocked this topic of marijuana is even up for discussion.

it is mind altering.  end of.  otherwise why would people smoke/eat it?  

Additionally, yes it is a natural substance.  and so is opium...

Surely this should mark the end of the discussion?! arrrrgh!

[satyaban]

It causes a state of euphoria so of course it is an intoxicant.

"To those who say marijuana makes you lose control or senses."

It causes the distortion of the senses, like the sense of time and vision, so these altered senses are not deadened but exaggerated, not a total loss of control. I spent many years using it and there is nothing wrong with me, you can ask anyone here.

[Darth Vader]

It is a psychedelic drug. It irreversibly changes your mind.

It was not smoked by any Prophet, Imam, Waliullah (saint). Not even tobacco.

Nor by any famous historical figure. (No, Bob Marley or Richard Simmons don't qualify.)

It is israaf and extremely harmful in a way that it must be avoided completely. The smoke is full of carcinogens and is thicker and more choking for the lungs.

OPEN YOUR EYES. Behold SC's Satan's 11 championing its use. Isn't that alone evidence enough?

So why would any actual believer want to alter their brain chemistry and self destruct?

Only a satanist in the closet would. And here is why:

- For pleasure. Marijuana remarkably intensifies sexual and other pleasures like music. It is no secret. Just ask any junky creep near you and they'll happily list out its "benefits", including "concentration and control", but they are unable to mention the great harms of it from prolonged use. Mental and physical diseases that can't even be diagnosed. All that enhanced "concentration and control" later makes marijuana a necessity for any such tasks including driving, meaningful conversation, etc.

- To gain escape from reality. To "lose" oneself by getting "high" and getting "stoned". To kill time while remaining oblivious. US soldiers in Vietnam, for one, extensively used marijuana and its derivatives.

Anyway...

This poison is not for a believer. No ayatullah etc. will ever allow its use. No true follower of Muhammad and Ali will dare touch its filth.

End of story.

is that all medicinal plants except cannabis?

[ShiaBen]

I spent some time thinking about this and my outlook has completely changed.

If you can use it or any other natural psychedelic plants/natural substances to help you in a tough situation.

Then I guess it's not haram.

But if you use it in a way where it can lead you to death or destroy your life, then that particular course of action would be haram.

I think I'll support marijuana any day over something like painkillers, alcohol, today's tobacco, etc.which slowly but surely kill you.

What about Cocain, Heroin and Pigs they are of nature too

Pigs, are they an intoxicant? Heroin is a synthetic and Cocain is used by many safely in the mountains of Peru but there intent is not the same as some skeezers on an urban street cornor. What is the stuff some people chew in the East Katt?

[ShiaBen]

I had no idea they use cocaine in Peru.

I thought they strictly chew the coca plants only?

Interesting tidbit.

salam bros and sisters ..

concerning MJ i wana say that if a country decides to legalize drug stores, alcohol, and stuff .. then it's hypocracy to point fingers at a soft drug like MJ .. it is surely more peaceful and less dangerous than alcohol for instance .. how come they make it illegal then? the only explanation i can get is that it's a conspiracy .. there must be something in that drug that makes the dajjal NWO not like it .. or? i just can't find a good reason why it should be illegal .. even in supposed "muslim" countries .. such as the UAE .. we have alcohol by the containers .. and prostitution as well by the boat-loads .. then if you get caught with THC in your blood you go to jail .. for years!! and in other countries you get death sentence!! how ridiculous ..

alcohol makes people drive very bad (put others in danger), get into fights, lose balance, beat up their families, mistreat their wives .. etc .. so why again is alcohol legal in most of the world .. only limited by age?? and MJ is the looked down upon drug ..

and at the same time the pharamceutical companies (that come in size and power only after weapons and oil industry) .. have a free hand to make whatever drugs they want and sell them to us, without telling us where the drug is from .. they label the medicine boxes with a bunch of jibberish chemical names .. and the capsules also give no indication of what we are ingesting/injecting/inhaling ..

just the fact that everybody thinks lowly of MJ makes me like it. If everybody (in terms of governments .. which are all corrupt right?) is against it .. then it must be the best "drug" around.

i always felt MJ is a spiritual drug .. look what happened to the americans in the 60's when the whole hippie movement started .. they became less materialistic .. and were the strongest force countering the unjustified slaughtering of vietnamese people .. the hippies who smoked up 24/7 .. as well as taking other drugs .. were islamically speaking the best people in america at that time .. they went out on the streets and protested .. not caring if they live on the streets and in vans .. while having their "hippie" brotherhood protecting them .. under slogan of "love .. peace .. man! "

so living in a messed up materialistic world such as today, we sometimes need a drug for our souls .. to make us feel happier and higher than the dajjal system .. if you want to read about people who used drugs for advanced spiritual paths .. read any of Carlos Castaneda books .. such as "teachings of don juan" .. or "journey to ixtlan' ..

the point is that taking drugs can be good and bad for us .. and that we have to give due respect to the spirit of the plant .. which pharma companies have killed .. they severed our connection to the actual plant that is having an effect on us .. and we are left to uncertainty .. treating symptoms vs. the cause

another interesting story my uncle Allah yerhamu .. told me: that there were people living somewhere near sham i think .. and they were suppressed by some other force .. and they reacted to it by doing key assassinations .. and they smoked up a lot i guess .. and that the word assassin comes from the arabic root word hashasheen .. i am obviously not 100% sure .. maybe i'm wrong .. i don't know anything.

Salam dudes .. love ya!
