Pretty much everyone who posted in this thread agrees that we should not break the law. The debate was more over if marijuana is okay or not, if it should be legalized or not. It wasn't about if people should smoke it even though it is illegal.

Re: Marijuana?
I don't have a problem with marijuana, and I don't smoke it personally, but I don't hold anything against people who do.

Don't even start the law crap. You ever sped in your car? How about walked across the street where there wasn't a cross walk? Besides I was refering to it as a moral standard and such. There are countries in which marijuana is legal.

Thaddeus, I said "pretty much everyone" for this exact reason. I know some people said statements that can be taken to mean they have no issues with someone breaking the law. By saying "pretty much everyone," I was saying that was not the majority view. As such, you cannot dismiss a whole thread based off of what a very small minority said.

Your original comment sounded like you were saying this whole thread was based on the premise that we were all condoning illegal usage of marijuana. That, however, is not the case in this thread.

Indeed. I'm pretty sure the first post in this thread said that I am not saying to go do it, I never said I thought it was a good idea either.

Well, then candy, fatty foods, and many other things would be sins, as they take away from the body. I think the bible says a few things about moderation...

Indeed you are correct. Just like over eating and undereating are sins. But Marijuana has actually been proven to not harm the body in small amounts.

You could say it temporarily causes mental impairment, which would make Many medications a sin.

In small amounts, it is the mind and a person's judgement that are the issue. People smoke pot because it makes them feel good by altering their state of mind.

I really dont understand why anyone wants to smoke marijuana anyway unless you have emotional problems. I dont care what excuse you make, it damages you-its an escape- its a drug. Why are you defending a drug? As for medical marijuana I really sincerely doubt any of you use/support it for that reason. If that was the case it'd be a no brainer because its already legal as a medicine for very sick people. Go ahead and make excuses. Just dont expect me to take you seriously when you condemn other people for being gay or liars or adultery, because sin is sin and you're just as bad for making excuses like these. If it causes you to get high then youre not in your right mind therefore sinning. End of story.

Have you ever actually smoked pot? Cause it sounds either you haven't, or you were smoking it to rid yourself of problems.

I have been promoting both sides throughout this thread. I am simply wanting to see what christians have to say about it.

the fact is smoking it is illegal,

smoking is bad for the lungs - I ought to know about dammaged lungs

I am glad you went to snorting it instead - I don't mind snorting it occasionally

it is safe and not illegal

would you be refering to trying new things to open your mind to a greater picture? If so, I think that is ridiculous. Read the bible and that is plenty of expanding.

No, I haven't, but I have a sister who is a pothead and I work at a prison. I also have alot of professional education on the subject. Also, I am over 50. I was almost there when they invented it, lol. Your question reveals your own prejudices. To say that only those who have smoked pot have the right to decide if it is good or bad is to say that only those who have tried meth can determine if it is bad or good. May I ask you this: did your parents approve of you smoking pot?
