    Is smoking weed a sinful deed?

    Smoking the "odd bit" of mj will definitely get you stoned (drunk), and the Word condemns drunkenness in several different places. Besides that, IT MAKES YOU STUPID, clouds your judgement, saps your initiative, etc., so I don't think there's any question that it's a sin to smoke pot to get...
