CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Touchy subject! Honestly written! I agree with you whole heartedly. I don't desire weed or drugs, personally, myself, either. However, I have arrived at this same conclusion, through scripture and life experience.The Bible seems to indicate that it’s ok to drink within moderation. Is it also ok to smoke weed (aka cannabis or marijuana) within moderation, legally, of course?
Sure, do it wisely.
Marijuana's effects on human cognitive functions, psychomotor functions, and personality - PubMed:
How much can you do it?
See How much does drinking become sin?.
I have no interest in smoking weed. I have better ways to spend my money
For people who are susceptible to addiction, I would advise against it.
Does smoking weed bring in demons?
If you overdo it, it may. The same goes for getting drunk.
If you find weed helpful, do it wisely and thank God for it.
What about opium?
Opium is highly addictive. Users will develop dependency. It is not wise to have an opium habit.
What about heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, LSD, etc?
These illegal drugs are addictive and affect one's physical and mental health. You will lose self-control. They will damage your brain. You don't need the Bible to tell you to avoid them.
Selling weed a sin?
It may not be a sin. Don't do it if it bothers your conscience.
I see an unmentioned bit of Paul's exegesis underlining many of your conclusions. When I have Christian siblings that do imbibe in cannabis,, that get reprimanded by other Christians, I always hand them this verse for comfort.
Genesis 1:29 God also said, “Look, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the surface of the entire earth and every tree whose fruit contains seed. This food will be for you,
