Why are Coca, Marijuana and Opium Poppy Outlawed in the USA?
It says in the first book of the Holy Scriptures that YEHOVAH God gave man ALL plants bearing seed as food for man. Marijuana is a prolific producer of perfectly balanced oils of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids for human nutrition according to the book called "Fats that Heal Fats that Kill". Wikipedia says Coca leaves make a nice tea. Can you make tea out of Marijuana leaves? I suppose you can. It would be nice to run this vegetation through a juicer and get a healthy mind healing juice. Sure would help with depression. LOL!!!! I don't smoke let alone smoking Marijuana but the oil from it is good on salads mixed with vinegar. Would be nice to have a glass of Marijuana juice or a glass of Coca juice or juice some opium poppy. Remember God gave man ALL plants bearing seed as FOOD. It clearly says so in Genesis the first book of the Holy Scriptures. What the Bible does condemn however is pharmacia. It clearly says in Revelation that Babylon the Great is deceiving the nations with Sorcery in the King James Bible and that all those practicing it will be thrown in the lake of fire. The original word for sorcery there is pharmakea or pharmacia which Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the King James Bible says is Medicine, Poison and Witchcraft. Medicine comes from alchemy. It says in many Bible's that YESHUWA compared himself to a "physician" and called Thomas a "physician" but Strong's Exhaustive Concordance says that this word simply means "healer". YESHUWA was actually comparing himself to a person who stitches, dresses and bandages wounds not a practitioner or pharmacuticalism. The King James Bible has the word "medicine in it in the old testament in the english but if you look up the original meaning of these words you will be surprised. For instance one word that simply means to "remove a bandage from a wound" is rendered as medicine in the King James Bible. The two times were the word medicine does mean medicine in the original Hebrew it indicates the uselessness of it and alludes to it being a Egyptian pagan practice. One scripture in the old testament refers to leaves of a tree serving as medicine but leaves are vegetation so therefore food according to YEHOVAH in Genesis. Balm is mentioned in the context of the word "physician" in the old testament in the King James Bible but the original Hebrew word hear for "physician" simply means someone who stitches, dresses and bandages wounds. Balm is an oil derived from a tree that Hebrews used to dress wounds that they bandaged. Balm is from vegetation. The man who fell to the robbers was helped by the "Good Samaritan" who paid and inn keeper to take care of him. This inn keeper was such a man who stitched, dressed and bandaged wounds. This is what YESHUWA compared himself to not a pharmacutialist. YESHUWA in fact is said to have spit out wine when he was on the cross that had been drugged. Remember in Revelation it clearly says that Babylon the Great is decieving the nations with pharmacia and all those practicing it will be thrown in the lake of fire. Pharmacia is rendered as "sorcery" in the King James version. The Europian Union has banned the sell of herbs which are nothing but plants and have embrased pharmacuticalism which is medicine and vitamins. All laboritory substances are pharmacuticalism and are condemned in the Holy Scriptures. What is good however are plants bearing seed. YEHOVAH God gave man in Genesis all plants bearing seed as food so it really makes me mad that the European Union has banned the sell of herbs and Coca, Marijuana and Opium Poppy are outlawed in the USA. Or cource plants can be used to make laboritory pharmacia but the plants themselves that YEHOVAH God gave us are all foods for all mankind. It would be nice to drink a glass of marijuana juice. So why in the heck are governments outlawing a food that YEHOVAH God gave man in the book of Genesis. I don't smoke and would never smoke marijuana either but a nice glass of marijuana juice sounds good. Pharmacuticalism is evil but YEHOVAH's plants for man to serve as food are good.

One man's evil is another man's medicine. The reason that they are outlawed is basically because some people like to control other people's behavior and attack them by attacking things that are different. They generally use subjective opinions on morality and other subjective opinions like religion to go after unwanted classes of people to harass them. They make special criminal sanctions to attack crack users because they are generally lower economic level blacks whereas white people take regular cocaine. They went after pot to harass Mexicans. There are genuine problems with cocaine and opium but using the legal system to persecute users only adds to the criminal element by enriching criminals and making criminals out of users. It is almost like they want to increase the size of the police state and add as much violent crime as possible to justify it. If they could find a stupider thing to do I am convinced they would do it.

Actually, OP is right. Mind-altering drugs had been used for thousands of years until Christianity became the mainstream religion in places like Rome. That is when it became demonized because the Christian leaders at the time knew that tribes were using these herbs to get closer to their own Gods. Can't have any competition for our made up savior stolen from other religions can we now?
As for why it is STILL illegal today, well there's a few reasons. Despite being so incredibly far in the fields of medicine and technology, the church still has a lot of influence over people. And the United States is very stupid. Marijuana does not have harmful effects but if the government suddenly decriminalized it, it would probably make them look weak. With the US government aspiring so badly to be like the the Chinese government, I don't see marijuana being legal anytime soon.

Silly argument, why not drink a glass of poison-ivy or monkshood juice?
Not all plants are safely edible. Your right that the Bible does condemn sorcery, which is rooted in drug use - Pharmacia which relates to altering reality (mind-altering drugs) But this has nothing to do with why those plants are outlawed. They have been outlawed because of their health affects and because they are harmful to a society.
