I hv no problem if somebody calls alcohol bad but it is NOT a bajjar kurehit.

bajjar kurehit is tobacco only.

What if tobacco is used medicinally? Why is it less of a kurehit to get intoxicated by 1 substance and lose your senses compared to another intoxicant?

Drinking small amount of alcohol as medicine is a different matter.

Nihangs live both in piri as well as miri.

Why to live in Miri does one have to have alcohol?

If you can avoid it....avoid it!

tobacco is the worst thing on planet.It is bajjar kurehit. A sikh cannot even touch tobacco.

plz don't compare tobacco with cannabis,opium or alcohol.

Brother...I treat alcohol like tobacco and any other intoxicant, but it doesn't change the fact that they are both intoxicants and can be used medicinally.

Veer ji...I am not disagreeing that tobacco is bad

Your view:

If alcohol is used in medicine, it is ok to ingest it...

If tobacco is used in medicine, it is not ok to ingest...

My view:

If any intoxicant is in medicine, it is best to avoid it...

 

Whether it is a bajjar kurehit or not in rehit maryada, why compromise on it?

Also #37 of the 52 hukams by Guru Gobind Singh Ji says to not drink or provide alcoholic drinks. - http://www.discoversikhism.com/sikhism/52_hukams_of_guru_gobind_singh.html

dear veer

All of us as kids must hv used COREX SYRUP for cough.

This SYRUP contains codeine(opium).

[shastarSingh]

Some cough syrups contain opium and alcohol too.

In addition, over-the-counter cough medicines typically contain some amount of alcohol. For instance, Vicks Formula 44 contains 10 percent alcohol (20 proof) and various forms of Robitussin are 3.5-20 percent alcohol. Nyquil contains 25 percent alcohol.

Can someone knock some sense into shastar singh  if u wanna take drugs go ahead, we tried to persuade you not 2. Stop trynna convince yourself that it is ok to when ur a sikh.

There is alcohol and nasha free things of almost everything, there is anaestheics for operations(we dont need opium, look what happened to the chinese when they took opium), medicine and tablets for everything. If u wanna become a bhang grower just take ur pag off and put a lal tilak on ur matha, become some pakhandi bhangi baba, double stonks sell bhang and open up ur dera, u can probably trick some gorre as well... saw an article on a bhangi hindu baba in USA or some <banned word filter activated> a while ago... he seemed to be living the life which u want to justify inside sikhi, somewere where it does not belong.

Sorry for the bashing but its become quite annoying now, stop justifying nashe!!!
