Any addiction is sin, I will get back with the bilbe verse tommorrow. But if any person is truthful and really want to know Ask them, "Do you really believe God would approve of smoking weed?" ....some would say yes, but deep down i think they know its no. They just want an excuse.
Right now, there really isn't enough biblical evidence for me to be convinced either way on this issue. Every once in a while I will smoke it and get high, and other days I look back on it and wonder if I was sinning, because people tell me it is a sin. But other then just words from others, I am unable to convince myself that it is something to be avoided, and I just give in again and smoke it again. Even though I think I shouldn't sometimes.
Here's a good [easy to read] page on it:Right now, there really isn't enough biblical evidence for me to be convinced either way on this issue.

I think this is the Scripture you're looking for:
1Co 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
1Co 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
Yep, I like the simplicity of that answer. In God, you won't have to.
Beats a theological battle any day.
The problem with that logic though, is that you don't need anything fun or enjoying in life, cause you have God. You can just put your self in a cave with food supplies for the rest of your life.
My best answer to the topic is that weed is no more sin then anything else, but biblically we should not break the law in the contry we live in. So I guess its OK for christians for example in Holland to smoke it if they want to, as long as they don't put it higher then God, or exchange it with God.
I was stoned when I accepted Jesus myself.

Greetings. I first started on pot and hashish about a year after joining the service in '68 [I was 17 at the time I joined] and continued smoking it up to about 7 yrs ago along with being an alcholic to boot.I posted this somewhere else but I realized I would get alot more responses if it was in here. I posted it in somewhere else I found first.
Hello. I am talking to a guy who smokes weed etc. I told him that it was a sin. He shrugged and said um why. I said that God does not like it when people get high and smoke weed. He said how you know. I said the bible. He said the Bible never actually speaks about Marijuana itself. But I explained there was bible verses that said stuff that made you realize it was indeed a sin. He said he tell me a example then. I thought and thought and searched my mind, then I said, "Though shalt not be drunk with whine." he said he doesnt drink whine and thats not marijuanna.
So why is it a sin? What are the reasons and what are the bible verses. He is still awaiting my awnser and still smoking weed etc. I am having trouble trying to explain to him so I need help, and posts in here i can read and then repeat them to him.
?
The bible says to be SOBERminded, and not drunk on wine.
Anything altering our minds is sin when we use it for mere pleasure.
It isn't sin just becuz it's against a civil law, pharmakia in scripture is called sinful. Opening our mind thru any anebriation opens us up spiritually and allows satan to work in that empty gap.
It also brings inhibition - we do things we normally would never do if we were sober.
That isn't to say that God cannot work or counter demonic activity, but it's still sin. There's a whole spiritual parameter to opening up yourself thru alcohol (spirits) & drugs and it's very serious.
I agree. The one thing about pot is, that a few tokes of some really potent weed is all ya need and the effects last for hours. What is dangerous is driving or working while on it. Don't know about being at school while on it as I never did it in school. I never touched the hard stuff like heroine or cocaine though I did shoot up speed often when in construction.I dont think its a sin at all. I dont do it. But I dont think its a sin. God did create everything, so he did create the marijuana plant.And I dont believe he would make a plant that had that effect if he thought it would be terrible for you to use it.
Oh my, easily debunked!God did create everything, so he did create the marijuana plant.And I dont believe he would make a plant that had that effect if he thought it would be terrible for you to use it.
