And any sin in the eyes of God is a hellworthy tresspass. That's what Jesus came and fixed. So that all we need to get into heaven is "Saving-Faith". Know you have saving faith and know you're getting into heaven regardless of your human sinful nature. In reality we're all equal to Jeffrey Dohmer. Most people would be too offended to examine this truth and accept it, we're fucked without jesus.

partially true... we cant help but sin but having faith isnt all we need to get into heaven. and we are not judged by our actions, true. but we ARE judged for our intentions

You have one thing TOTALLY WRONG. Sinning does not mean you go to hell, everyone sins, if they say they dont then they just sinned. As long as you ask for forgiveness you will go to heaven.

As for if smoking mj is a sin. The bible says to obey the laws of the land, therefore in the USA and pretty much anywhere besides international waters and the neatherlands, it is a sin. Im not sure about international waters it probably illegal there too.
Humans are, by nature, sinners so dont worry.

Laws of the land eh...in who's country? Mine or, gOD's?

Do you see the dilemma?

Particularly if the law states...'touch the bible and you'll be shot at dusk.'

What then?

Verdict : Obeying the law of the land is a man made entry. gOD, I'm sure....could care less about 'don't pee on the grass' things that are in place from one town/state/country to another.

I'd say if you think it's a sin, then it is...

When I was younger, I often viewed marijuana as being the "Forbiden fruit" talked about in the bible. The funny thing is, I only thought about it after I had smoked a joint, lol.

It was a major buzz kill, too! I actually quit smoking a while because I couldn't shake that thought...

I wonder....
