its better for you to ask the holy spirit for this ... Some would say that playing this game I play is witchcraft , but the holy spirit never convicted me for it...

This debate will go round and round...

1. It's illegal
2. He is relying on it to help him in school. When you rely on a drug (for anything) it can become a habit/addiction very easily.
3. I think his excuse for doing it is lousy.

First the Bible says that we shouldn't do anything to our temple that is ungodly. Second weed causes your mind to be in another state where as you are not able to think or see clearly. Yes it is illegal and would you smoke it in front of Jesus.

it's illegal, and I doubt getting busted for Drugs, is going to help with school work.

God Bless

1 Pet. 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

1 Thessalonians 5:6-7 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken in the night.

Point here is to keep a sober mind being watchful. Has the Lord not warned us what would happen if He returned and found us not doing His will? If you're friend is a Christian, encourage him to be mindful of what scripture says about those things.

No offense intended here but your friend is behaving in a very idiotic manner. And making pathetic excuses for doing so.

As has already been said, this is illegal, it is NOT God-honoring, and will long-term damage his mind and body.

DRINGING A SIN ?????? ummm last supper (WINE) o is eating bread a sin to?
point is weed a waste of money my very unsaved brother is a pot head but jesus still loves him

Jesus does not condemn him, and neither should you.

Well I hear this thing everyday that weed does actually help some kids, we use it for medical reasons, etc... Now, if it was helping him in school, I dont know if that would make it right or not.

It is highly unlikely that this is helping him in school in any way. In fact this has proven time and again to be a hinderance rather than a help.

And please, dont judge other people. Believe it or not, from what you wrote, it sounds as though your almost judging another person. Who is anybody to judge another person? Anyways, I'm very knowledgeable in the bible yet, and I've only begun to start to read it. So, you have your answer.

Judging is not a bad thing. We make judgements all the time and in many situations. Think about it, if we did not judge then criminals would never be held accountable for their crimes, sin would never be exposed for what it is, and chaos would reign.

When the Bible cautions against judgement, it does so in the context of the standard whereby you judge. There is also a huge difference between passing judgement upon a person and judging their actions and motives to be right or wrong. In this case, it is the latter that is being discussed.

It depends on how and also what you are juding to rule wether it's rude or fine.

Hi Friend,
Personally I don't see anything wrong with "weed." But, and I use a strong but, the Bible also says "Render unto Caeser the things which are Caeser's, and unto God the things that are God's." Matt. 22:21 I don't know how it is where anybody else lives, but in North Carolina Caeser says it's illegal and until they change the law, there's nothing I can do about it. Caeser says it's illegal, I can't do it. If they change the law, who knows? But as for now, since it's illegal, I cannot have anything to do with it.

I agree with this, however there are several medical uses for marijuana and I believe it should be availible for that reason. Those include

Glaucoma, Wasting do to aids or cancer treatment, anxiety and nervous disorders. Pain, especailly from nerve damage (thisalone could help many who suffer from chronic back pain due to disc herniation), siezures (epilepsy) As an antibiotic.

The medical establishment argues that there are other drugs that are as effective or maybe more so, but those drugs often have undesirable side effects.
