You will have to be the judge, however, I consider it medication personally. Frankly, I do not intend to get 'stoned out of my mind' when I smoke, I simply intend to feel better.

IMO...it is no sin with my intentions. With other intetions, however, it certainly could be.

just my two cents.

but i think most believers have a problem with this because everywhere people tell them its bad but they really like it so its hard for them to let go.
Adam and Eve were told by God..We were told by our elders but only after the prohibition in 1937 of marijuana created this stigma.

In my eyes the sin begins when you put your habbits over the lives/welfare of others.


Very well said.

Funny. Most Churches would disagree with you. Sme chruches have adopted the idea that medimarijuana is ok, but not for recreation. The vatican has gone as far as saying that drugs "constitute direct co-operation in evil".(yet jesus turned his blood into alcohol, pirceless) But all you christinas just seem to believe what is convenient to you anyway. Id bet that even if the bible expressly forbid weed, all of you would still be smoking.

Mmm lovely thread.

My three cents:
1st cent - It isn't up to us to decide what is sinful and what isn't. The church you subscribe to decides that for you. That's why you belong to that church, because you believe that they can teach you how to live your life properly and get into heaven.

2nd cent - There are as many interpretations of holy scripture as there are people. Ultimately, it's your own moral compass that you follow. Focus on fine tuning your actions to fit the kind of person you want to be. Does smoking weed get in the way of you being the person you want to be? Do you feel like you are living up to your potential as a human being? If everything is great, then keep doing what you're doing. If, on the other hand, there seems to be a huge gap between the person you are and the person you want to be, try to alter some of the factors that might be keeping you down. Some people can be high all day and function perfectly fine, while other people may find themselves becoming depressed.

3rd cent - to paraphrase SouthPark: Pot doesn't ruin your life, it just makes you feel OK about doing nothing. A little bit is fine, but if it gets in the way of living your life, then it isn't all right. You have to decide for yourself what role it will play, sinful or not.

Friends,

the word "Sin" means "error". According to the Christian Tradition, the only Sin, the father of all Sins is putting mundane things above God.

Jesus gave us his commandement: "Love God above everything and love others like you love yourself", and the Christian path can be resumed by this simple phrase.

Like the starter of the post said, we must find balance and live a life to serve God and others. Just don't let pot take over your life, or your will.
