"Do you not know that your body is a temple 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 body," (1 Cor. 6:19-20).
Surely therefore, smoking in whatever form is a sin.

I agree with you.
Misapplication of Scripture. The reference is to things (such as food) that are necessary for our sustenance. Marijuana doesn't fit that category.Romans 14:14 KJV
I know , and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
So then I know that if you esteem it unclean then to you it is unclean.
Not "surely therefore" it is sin to me.

No, sorry, but the misapplication is completely on you. Marijuana is not food. It was not given for man to "use" as were the other plants, which were given solely for food, though some also have medicinal properties. I know I'm going to be sorry I said that, but nonetheless, despite whatever arguments you will post to the contrary, marijuana is useless, and very harmful. Hence, the warning against defiling the temple is applicable.You cannot sin against or defile your body with what you consume.
PERIOD.
It may be another letter from Paul, but he did not contradict himself in any of his letters.
You have to read em all my brother.

You're not going to offer any argument I haven't heard, or one I can't refute. However, we both know continuing in this vein would be a waste of both our times and productivities. So let's agree to disagree and let it go. No one is going to change their mind.
Smoking Pot isn't a sin. But depending on how much it's used, it sure can get into the way of knowing God.

Sorry but these verses are about wine also, which is not needed to sustain life.
You are trying to promote a false doctrine of touch not taste not handle not.
As if God commands us not to.
Sorry but the word of God is not in meat and drink.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come ; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen , vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered , and knit together , increaseth with the increase of God. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances , 21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 Which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
I seek peace and joy with you.
If you wish to suffer a personal humillity for God, go for it.
However you will find nowhere that Paul, or Christ tells us to inflict our faith as doctrine on others.
Actually quite the contrary.
If you continue to try and refute this you will be sewing discord, and not merely saying you disagree that smoking is not a sin.
