I gave one example in my post #81 of this thread.
Why except caffeine?
Overdose on marijuana just results in paranoia typically because of heart palpitations people get scared but there’s never been any reports of fatal marijuana overdose. Moderation and knowing your limit is the key thing here. But even going past your limit won’t result in death or permanent injury aside from doing something stupid like driving a car maybe or shooting apples off your buddy’s head. Alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana. People do actually die from alcohol poisoning and people also get way more impaired than marijuana use. I’ve never seen anyone who couldn’t walk or talk from smoking too much marijuana.
What good thing can pot do for you that God cannot? Does marijuana help take you deeper into God? Does it make you more like Christ? How does using pot aid you in being an ambassador for Jesus to a lost and dying world?
Yes it is. Getting high is the same as getting drunk, and scripture warns that no drunkard will enter heaven.
You can always tell who is driving high. They are usually going about fifteen miles per hour with both hands on the wheel. 5mph if they see a cop.
29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
So sin is subjective, What is sinful for me might not be sinful for you? It is all up to our opinion with no standard. Accordingly we are our own judge.Yes I also agree that if you are having convictions about it then it is a sin. Good point.
What are marijuana's long-term effects on the brain? | National Institute on Drug AbuseGreat. Which ones?
Can you point me to a single objective study that agrees with your assessment that “ in most cases marijuana use is harmful”
all the studies I am aware of actually find the opposite to be true.
As for your personal observations they are of course skewed to your personal circle and experience, and are therefore ineffectual at determining whether or not it is harmful (or not) in “most cases“.
Oh really? Research shows you to be wrong, especially for those who start in their teen years. I know a bunch of users and former users who would disagree with you. One thinks he's fine. He's a teacher and a professional musician. He also believes that Star Trek is a documentary and that aliens are assembling in space to invade us.Marijuana has no long term effects. It does not make a person psychotic. The worst effect of marijuana is it makes people lazy and content and even that is only temporary. The effects of marijuana typically last about 4-6 hours.
to a degree yes. There are some things that are always sin. There are other things that Christians have liberty in but other brethren may feel is sinful and they become stumbling blocks for them. A Christian who has the self control to not drink alcohol in excess will be at liberty to consume alcohol in moderation. But for a Christian that lacks that self control they shouldn't consume any at all, and if you're fellowshipping with that Christian who shouldn't drink any alcohol at all, a responsible Christian wouldn't drink alcohol around them, to not be a stumbling block.So sin is subjective, What is sinful for me might not be sinful for you?

NO.

Opinions?. I''m asking for a friend. Thank you
Just my poor attempt at humor.

I've always at sin as not, many times, being why you do something and not what you do. As an example, are you kneeling in prayer to bring attention to yourself or to show reverence to God.Opinions?. I''m asking for a friend. Thank you
My mistake, it was friend of that made that claim, Parousia was going against that claim and you seemed to back up friend of.
Impairment starts with the first drink or puff. Soto a degree yes. There are some things that are always sin. There are other things that Christians have liberty in but other brethren may feel is sinful and they become stumbling blocks for them.

Some things, there is no liberty on. Like murder or theft or fornication. Those are always sin.
Something like alcohol or marijuana, it's not ALWAYS sin, but it can be or it may not be sin, depending on how it is used, how much is used, and why it is used, and whether that person can exercise self control or not, because being intoxicated on either is ALWAYS sin.
Impairment starts with the first drink or puff. So
No, because being intoxicated is a sin.
Anyone who has ever achieved “carb coma” after a spaghetti dinner knows this to be true...intoxication can result from sugar, water, carbohydrates, ext...so what are yo suggesting? Really, a small amount of THC, psylicibin, DMT..whatever is the same as eating a candy bar...all things in moderation is the way I see it
