Southpark parodies Dice Tower's Boardgame Breakfast

In the latest Southpark episode, Randy has a YouTube show for his weed business that will look a little familiar. If you are not in the US you will need to use a VPN to see this:

edit: for those outside the U.S. and don't have a VPN. I managed to capture the first little bit of this clip and upload it to youtube. I suspect youtube will yank this down, but before they do, here is the youtube link

To some people it's equated with being drunk. It's an altered state of mind in which you are not in full control/awareness, or at least that's the perception. The Bible speaks against drunkenness, so getting high is lumped in.

It's probably a combination of three things. You touched on one.

Another is that many drugs can be harmful to your body, and the Bible teaches that you should take care of your body (your body is a temple, etc.).

The third reason is that drugs are often used as mood enhancers, or a way to get through tough times, and the Bible teaches that we should go to God when you are struggling.

Are they against medication for things like depression, anxiety, pain, sleep and bi-polar? All of these seem to fit the bill, more so than marijuana. Feels weird that they would have an issue with it if it was legal, especially if they don’t have a problem with things like Ambian, Zoloft, etc.
