Why is weed a sin

xcrunner71 said:

LAWL at the list.. just because you smoke doesn't mean you're going to hell. It's certainly not a godly lifestyle and disables you from your potential to serve God at your highest potential. Repent from smoking and stop.

Don't know either, but he sure put out some great tunes

Nadiine said:

that's definitely debatable - I never liked the band or their music or much of the grunge genre.

I was referring to his suicide - and he also did alot of heroine (so did his wife Courtney Love)

I could say that pot is usually the precursor to heavier drug use later on.

My youngest daughter was into grunge/punk and drugs in Junior High and is the only reason I even knew of that group. She ran away twice in 2 yrs, once when she was 13 and again at 14.

Never a dull moment with kids.

I'm SO glad that my friend gave me this link. I am a Christian and so is my husband. I see absolutely nothing wrong with smoking pot for "medicinal" reasons..to just get high YES. My husband had back surgery several years ago and has 3 blown discs. The pain pills that the doctor put him on made him dopey, restless, couldn't sleep, and the side affects alone were scary!!! His doctor also put him on Prozac which can be a mind altering drug. I took those and flushed them down the toilet. He ended up buying his first bag of weed 10 years ago, and it has been the best drug for pain and relaxation that he has ever been on. He takes a couple of hits right before he goes to bed and sleeps like a baby.
God created every plant in the universe, and it is man that has abused it's usefulness.
Eph 5:18 ~ And be not drunk with wine, WHEREIN IS EXCESS; but be filled with the Spirit;
I guarentee that when Jesus walked the earth their wine was "fermented". I bet they had a rip roarin' time at the wedding at Cana when the pots never ran out. Anything in excess is a sin...drinking, gluttoney, smoking pot for the wrong reasons etc...NOT for a natural pain remedy!!

Corin said:

The only thing i agree with you on is your siggy. lol

Id also like to know where in the bible it says that smoking pot is to be used for pain. Or anything else for that matter.
Also...id love to know where in the bible it tells that God made it.
Do you think God made beer as well? And cocaine?

Shiversblood said:

Unless you think some 2nd God made it, I really don't understand why you don't think God made the Marijuana plant. And the Plant cocaine comes out of. Is God not the Creator? Do you believe something else creates animals and plants on the earth? Don't say evil again, because evil is not a god that creates Plants. God creates plants.

Corin, not only did you not defend what you said, but you said something that does not make sense. With awnsers like this, I must from now on take all of your posts and old posts with just a grain of salt. Or flat out ignore them as false. Because there is no logic behind them.

Corin said:

Evil created the fact that its now a drug. I can say evil if i want. lol Cause thats what it is.
If you want to think God created drugs then go ahead. You are wrong.




I never knew who that was! lol
I cant see it very well!
