Indeed. Right after the Ten Commandments God gives a whole slew of rules on how to properly conduct the ownership of slaves, and all throughout Exodus are rules on how to properly conduct animal sacrifices whose scents are "pleasing to the Lord". Why, out of all these commandments, are only those Ten considered sacred? Nowhere is there a verse that says "Just kidding" or "You can start ignoring this one in a few thousand years once you develop more sophisticated moral and legal philosophies".

Anyhow, back to the original topic, there is nothing in the New Testament about weed. Believe me, I've read it.
And Jesus entered the temple, where the disciples were smoking ganj. "Why tokest thou of this herb? Dost thou not know that mine Father hath forbidden its usage, for it is but a tool of Satan?" And the disciples did extinguish the flame and start a D.A.R.E. group."
