That truth is one that most do not see. The slide America has taken because of sinful legislation has its own fruit.Its understandable why the propaganda was so widespread in the 50s & 60s, mostly because morality and common decency was a lot higher then than it is now.
What good thing can a cheeseburger do for you that God cannot? Does a cheeseburger help take you deeper into God? Does a cheeseburger make you more like Christ? How does eating a cheeseburger aid you in being an ambassador for Jesus to a lost and dying world? You could replace the word cheeseburger with just about anything, like for example a green shirt or a whistle or a bean bag chair. Does any of this make these things sinful?
The interesting thing about it is that willful disobedience is sin. If you think your being disobedient then to continue is willful. Willful sin carries a strong penalty. However, until someone is Truly born again, they generally can’t See or Hear. There is a fair amount of Scripture on the topic.It is a sin if you feel wrong when you do it......e.g. if you believe it is a sin.

Amen! My wife works in the legal department of the county children and youth services office, and I can say for certain that children suffer unspeakable neglect and harm as a result of marijuana use by the parents, if you can call them parents.All things are lawful but not all are helpful. Marijuana is, in most cases, harmful. God gave us dominion over the creation. If we are addicted, it has dominion over us.
It really doesn’t do much for me especially after having it prescribed for so long. I honestly don’t see why there is such a big penalty for it. It seems that police departments are out getting illegal growers which in essence is protecting the legal growers. However when you consider that those men and women on the police force are risking their lives to protect legal growers, it seems meaningless.The more drugs you take OFF the black market the BETTER in my opinion. I'm an Amsterdam regular and actually, I see less marijuana consumption there than I do in London.
Opinions?. I''m asking for a friend. Thank you

Some of the most brilliant, disciplined, and successful people I know use “dope”, in moderation. It’s those who become addicted and abuse it who see harmful effects. Those effects are pretty specific however and still don’t make anyone dumb. They have short term memory loss and lack of motivation, as well as emotional numbing which stunts maturity. What is notable to me is that every marijuana addict I’ve known was bound to be some kind of addict and marijuana seems to be the least harmful of the substances they could have chosen. Even food addiction is more harmful in my view. Alcohol addiction is by far the most pervasive and harmful to society, causing death and abuse and destroying families.There is a reason that it is called dope. That's what it turns people into.
Would consuming products with sugar in them be a sin as well since sugar is addictive according to certain studies?Smoking anything is a sin because it's both addictive which is a form of slavery of the flesh and it is destructive to health.
Galatians 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Marijuana is additionally sinful because it's illegal -unless it isn't where you are from.
Romans 13:1
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Is caffeine a sin as well since it’s addictive?Oddly enough, my ONLY addiction is caffeine. I can smoke cigars/pipes as and when I like without ever becoming hooked. Months on, months off, no problem. But a world without caffeine in it just seems bleak. I haven't gone a day without for years now.
To put it into context:
Space cake: consumed once - kind of enjoyed it, never really bothered again.
Caffeine: consumed once, addicted for life.
Why except caffeine?True, it's all about how you use it. Alcohol was used in the Bible but being a drunkard was wrong. We can't abuse any substance. Except caffeine.
