Considering Paul himself did not submit himself to the governing authorities...
Also, when the government tells you to do things that go against G-d, will you do them? Even Yeshua practiced civil disobedience.
Furthermore, there is biblical justification for marijuana use

Do you think Paul's letters are the inspired word of God?
Care to show some biblical evidence to justify marijuana usage?
To the first: I believe only that they are good lessons to live by, but as the inspired word of G-d, no. They contradict the Word elsewhere far too much for me to consider them part of the Word.
To the second: certainly!
Genesis 1:29
Then G-d said, "Here! Throughout the whole earth I am giving you as food every seed-bearing plant and every tree with seed-bearing fruit.
Genesis 1:11-12
G-d said, "Let the earth put forth grass, seed-producing plants, and fruit trees, each yielding its own kind of seed-bearing fruit, on the earth"; and that is how it was. The earth brought forth grass, plants each yielding its own kind of seed, and trees each producing its own kind of seed-bearing fruit; and G-d saw that it was good.
Both of the above include marijuana.

No, the answer is yes. The problem is you're trying to catch me in a blunder, but with poor logic like that, you won't do it
You don't snort marijuana, nor is it ok to snort cocaine. The verses I quoted is G-d saying it is ok to EAT the seed bearing plants, which is what you do with marijuana (smoking it is a form of consumption, i.e. eating) when it reaches the proper stage of growth. The same goes for cocaine. When the coca plant is at the proper stage of growth, the flowers usually form into red berries that can be eaten, and the seeds can be used to make teas.

You obviously have a poor definition of the what consuming is if you don't believe snorting something into your system is being consumed you might want to check your 5th grade health books. Not only that but you can put cocaine on your marijuana and smoke it that way as well. So either way it's being "eaten" if that is your definition of being consumed .

Go up a few posts, I already gave it to Definition_Christ. I'd rather not repeat myself
And I said that that is all well and good, but in this case G-d commanded that all seed bearing plants are good and that we can consume/eat them. Therefore, government saying no is government telling you to disobey G-d

This is true, but you also have to take into account the other thing I said - that marijuana is matured to the point where it CAN be consumed healthily, whereas cocaine is not
And because God gave me a brain I choose not to smoke marijuana. But then again you could argue it's entirely subjective what we use our brains for seeing as we're using Scripture that can be interpreted very widely.
But I think it's wrong to condemn its use when G-d said it was ok

You can choose to smoke it or not to smoke it, that's just fine But I think it's wrong to condemn its use when G-d said it was ok

HAHAHAHA! this makes no sense! So its ok to smoke opium? Itss a plant. It is outlandish that christians would make excuses for using drugs lol. And btw smoking something is not considered consuming. Its funny how you can go to various threads and its the same people twisting the Holy Word of God to meet their desires. Now its drugs and how God says its ok to do drugs. LOL!!!!!
