Plus, we should give glory to God for the food we eat anyways

Dopamine is a chemical that alters our mind.

The fruit itself does not contain the dopamine

It triggers the release in our brain.

Nor does it actually possess any mind altering chemicals in it

It does trigger the chemical to be released in our brain. It’s what makes us feel good. A reward system for survival.

lol, there's a difference between enjoying some food and getting high

Plants aren’t food?

?

not all plants are food

Yes but actually no

What plants aren’t food?

Grass

lol

hemlocke

You can’t use grass in a tea?

i mean, it would taste awful

Maybe.

Doesn’t mean it isn’t digestible.

plenty of poisonous plants.

Are we talking about what we see as digestible here?

Cause that's a whole different thing from what we see as being food

Different cultures have different meanings and food even so

We often eat plants for different reasons. For example, I ate a dandelion today. Not for the taste, but because it’s good for me.

You mean straight from the field or

well, if you eat hemlock, you will die

Totally.

genesis 1: 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

i don’t smoke weed but theres also verses about using wine to get closer to God

I’ve never had hemlock. However I can’t think of any plant that hasn’t been purposed for our benefit.

that verse was before the world became cursed

similar thing really. its not what you partake, its how you partake. “drunkenness” is a state of trying to forget yourself. you can use weed or wine to come closer to God

no, you must not alter your mind.

thats just not biblical

Acts 26:25

**Acts 26:25 - King James Version (KJV)**

```Dust


<25> But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. ```

1 Peter 5:8

**1 Peter 5:8 - King James Version (KJV)**

```Dust


<8> Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ```

I’ll use myself as an example. Drinking a little wine is okay. Being a belligerent drunk is not. That would be like being ruled by it.
