Catnip time out on the terrace.
God made drugs for pleasure and created receptors for these drugs in our brains. Some drugs you can just pick off the plant, like catnip (for cats) or marijuana (though some cats get high on marijuana too, as I learned in college). Other drugs you have to concoct from natural materials, like wine. Jesus drank wine. For two thousand years, wine has been part of the sacrament of Holy Communion in all Christendom (even though the Methodists drink grape juice). Wine is the blood of God.
Some religions and Republicans tell us drugs are bad. ("Just say no," Nancy Reagan said.) Is God bad then for creating drugs? Why do some religions and Republicans hate God? Is Nancy Reagan higher than God?
(The issue is, of course, abusing drugs. Let's not punish the people who use them and don't abuse them.)
