I have suffered with an addiction problem to marijuana. Mainly, because I'm from a long line of addiction. In no way am I saying I have any withdrawal symptoms. I just simply want to smoke it all the time.
I personally hear from multiple people that "God made weed", and I think okay, but how many joints do you think he smokes a day?
None. And neither did His disciples nor Paul.
God made hemlock, but that doesn't mean we are to kill ourselves with it just because He made it.
We live in a dangerous world and friends betray one another and so it pays to be sober all the time to prevent temptations around others as well as being tempted to do harder drugs to become a worse addict to your self and your health.
1 Thessalonians 5:[SUP]4 [/SUP]But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.[SUP] 5 [/SUP]Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.[SUP] 6 [/SUP]Therefore let us not sleep, as do others;
but let us watch and be sober.[SUP] 7 [/SUP]For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.[SUP] 8 [/SUP]But let us, who are of the day,
be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.[SUP] 9 [/SUP]For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,[SUP] 10 [/SUP]Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.[SUP] 11 [/SUP]Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
Titus 2:12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
1 Peter 4:7But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore
sober, and watch unto prayer.
1 Peter 5:[SUP]7 [/SUP]Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.[SUP] 8 [/SUP]
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:[SUP] 9 [/SUP]Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
You need His help to stop smoking marijuana because He does want you sober in your walk with Him.
1 John 1:[SUP]3 [/SUP]That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.[SUP] 4 [/SUP]And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.[SUP] 5 [/SUP]This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.[SUP] 6 [/SUP]If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:[SUP] 7 [/SUP]But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.[SUP] 8 [/SUP]If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.[SUP] 9 [/SUP]If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 3:[SUP]3 [/SUP]
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure....[SUP]8 [/SUP]He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
2 Timothy 4:[SUP]18 [/SUP]And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Jude 1:[SUP]24 [/SUP]Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,[SUP] 25 [/SUP]To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
