Yes, if smoking pot becomes mandatory.Well then. Are you going to stop celebrating Easter and Christmas?
If you get caught....my friends said if i ever get caught he said hes going to slap me for being an idiot.FYI: there is no such thing as a good slippery slope argument. Pot does not lead to cocaine because cocaine is scary and ruins lives, and pot isn't and doesn't.

I'm only responsible for me and mine.Good for them, although the rest of our nation hasn't followed suit.
Not at all. It's a shame Christmas and Easter were perverted, but here we are. They are Pagan holidays only if they are observed as such.Therefore I can deduce it's alright to take pagan celebrations,...
They're still doing it today. When we copy Pagans, or any other part of this World system, we align ourselves with them in the supernatural realm. This is not a good thing....but not ok to smoke or eat weed because some pagans in the past did.
Ok, hear me out...
No, I have never tried pot, and I dont pretend to be an expert on the matter, but I think the answer to the question is No.
As a Christian, its not a GOOD thing to do.I dont think God is exactly pleased when we do things like that. It says in the bible that we should stay in our "right minds" in order to be a good witness, not to be drunk on wine. Forgive me if Im wrong, but from what some of you have posted it definately alters your state of mind right?!
However, i do alot of things that I shouldnt! I drink, sometimes too much, I have smoked which I cant exactly argue is good for me, and when Im down Ive been struggleing with Self harm which I use to relax myslef and lift my mood.Even certain foods can and are used as comfort food, and is abused for the effect it has on ones state of mind. So I wont judge you guys for choosing this particular drug to use. Its no better or worse that any...
As a christian, you should know that it is not Gods plan for you that you should NEED to use any kind of drug, be it pot, tobacco, alcohol, or anything, in order to feel better, or to think properly. Its not his desire for his children to abuse themselves, through drugs overeating, or sleeping around. However you get your high, God wants you to learn to come to him, to chill with him , to find yourself in him, to rejoice in him, to celebrate him to be loved by him...God is ALL about the relationship!
So no, I dont think it is a good thing to smoke pot, but I dont believe its the biggest issue either!
just as an aside, wether you think it should be or not,fact is, it IS illeaglal! Therefore one should consider how it is that the drug is getting to you?! maybey the crime of buying or selling it to your mates is negligable but what, bigger crimes is it funding? where does it come from? how is it being trafficked? who does it? are they being exploited? Just a consideration...Ive been thinking along the same lines for chocolate...

My mind also tends to wander off on tangents, sometimes with genius realizations and insights I wouldn't normally stumble upon when sober-- the only drawback is that I often forget these "moments of clarity and lucid thought" seconds afterwards...
Prayers are sent your way for you and your familybecause I have been evicted as of yesterday due to the reckless actions of my brother damaging property of the apartments, I smoked some weed and calmed down immensely from fears that we wont have a house to live in, I cant continue going to school until were done finding an apartment and move by monday and several other things I really dont want to have to type. As of 8:30pm I got high. I have acomplished 3 thing, 1. created a new song on my guitar and recorded it with my tape player. 2. I finished 2 drawings for a portfolio when I am able to go back to school in a week or 2 hopefully, 3. I have been able to relaxe and my stomach unknotted from the stress. My family and I are trying to into an apartment and don't know if well qualify....I hate to ask but could you all pray that we get that apartment....you dont have to post but my Mom is losing faith in God because it seems like day after day he basically takes a giant dump on our lives. I cant have her lose her faith because she basically holds this family together. Sorry about this.
That's great advice.Prayers are sent your way for you and your family
If it helps...this is just my belief, even if it seems your mom stops believing in God, I dont think God will ever stop believing in her.
I think God is always travelling with us in life (is our rock).
Again...'s

He created it right? Plus the holy anointing oil contains marijuana, look it up.Ok, hear me out...

It really frustrates me when people compare the marijuana high to alcohol intoxication. When you are drunk you loose control function of every part of your body including your brain untill the drug wears off. It dulls, and numbs while marijuana can be stimulating to creativity, thought provoking, and help you look at things from a better perspective. Many cultures believe that certain drugs which fall into the catagory of enthogens can help them connect with God. Marijuana can be one of those drugs.It says in the bible that we should stay in our "right minds" in order to be a good witness, not to be drunk on wine. Forgive me if Im wrong, but from what some of you have posted it definately alters your state of mind right?!
All of those are examples of self-medication and using drugs as an escape which can be harmful.However, i do alot of things that I shouldnt! I drink, sometimes too much, I have smoked which I cant exactly argue is good for me, and when Im down Ive been struggleing with Self harm which I use to relax myslef and lift my mood.Even certain foods can and are used as comfort food, and is abused for the effect it has on ones state of mind.

The first Christians used marijuana and the jews before them did as well. I know it was being used openly around Jesus and if he had a problem with it he would have said so, instead he focused his attention more towards alcohol...As a christian, you should know that it is not Gods plan for you that you should NEED to use any kind of drug, be it pot, tobacco, alcohol, or anything, in order to feel better, or to think properly.

Genesis 1:29-31 said:God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…To you it will be for meat." … And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
Ignorance. If it was illegal to not burn bibles, would you? Or, if it was illegal to read the bible? What about illegal to read any book?Well, Christians don't mix with anything illegal--it says in their own bible, I forget which chapter and verse, "Render unto Caesar's what is Caesar's".
