Opinions?. I''m asking for a friend. Thank you
Depends on a lot of factors.
is it illegal where you live? If so, yes it's sin.
Why do they want to use it? For medicine? Or to get high? If to get high, then it is sin (we're commanded to be sober minded).
If medical, it depends on the condition you are using it to treat, is it at the advice of a doctor?
Are you at least seeking a less damaging way to use it than smoking? (myself I vaporize flower, I don't use the cartridges with the additives that have caused illness in some people with their thickening agents, it is less harmful than smoking and I can control the dose better than using orally).
Does the harm than using it outweigh the harm of not treating the disease with it? (in my case the joint damage caused by letting my use of it lapse too long is worse on my body than using it)
You need to consider even if it is legal 1 Corinthians 10:23
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
For me, it is lawful, my doctor gives me the recommendation, and my state has laws for medical.
It is for me edifying and expedient, as the conditions I use it to treat, are worse than using the drug, if left untreated. It improves quality of life, and I am able to with selecting strains and use method, moderate my use of it so that I treat the conditions and alleviate inflammation, while mitigating the mind altering effects.
I also don't use it every day or even every other day, twice a week usually, spread out through the week, so I don't feel under it's power or addicted.
It requires judgement, and prayer, and honestly, thanksgiving, because He gave the plant to us.
