Is smoking marijuana a sin

[cannabis campbell]

What is your opinion on this?

There are good things and bad things in life obviously marijuana is a good thing but thats just my personal opinion. There are laws in life that we have to follow if we break them by, for example vandalising stealing rape dealing etc they are all sins, so does mean smoking marijuana is a sin!?

In some countries its legal so would it make a differencec where we smoked it?

Is it a sin!?

Can we still go to heaven if we smoke weed?

What do you think?

Thanks in advance! . :stoned:

It's not a sin, i also think this because laws are just things higher authorities get to enforce, because something is illegal doesn't mean its wrong.

Mushrooms on the other hand im not so sure... they seem to be the forbidden fruit....but we'll never know till we die.

Interesting word 'sin'. The etemology comes from a greek archery term.....it means "Missing the Mark". Dunno why I like that but I do.

What ya gotta figure is that nothing natural is innately good or bad. It's how it's used that gives it its definitions.

If I were to slap definitions on it I would say this little plant takes on the archeypical role of the Trickster. "He isn't always evil, and he is not always wrong' as billy joel would say in the song...lol

..but I'm rabbling, aren't I?

Well, you're going to have to decide for yourself if it's a sin or not. But don't let someone else decide that for you...it just doesn't work out well that way. When you do decide though, don't bullshit yourself. If you can be honest with yourself ,you'll know the answer for you personally.

Me, as a very devout Christian, used to tear myself apart worrying about if i was going to hell for smoking marijuana.

I then did a very large amount of studying, and i have came up with the conclusion its fine to smoke weed.

There are NUMBEROUS verses in the bible talking about herbs in a positive light, one of the most famous being "I have created all green herbs bearing seed, for you to be as meat"(paraphrased)....now, this is very interesting, as it also says in the bible, (once again paraphrased) "In latter times, the spirit speaketh expressingly, that some shall speak against the meats in which God hath given you for thanksgiving"...now if "herb" is as meat, does this not mean the bible could have already prophecized the stigma against smoking weed now-a-days?


"Kaneh-Bosm"(Kaneh-Bos sounds familier eh? the M is to make it plural), was used to make annointing oil...a hebrew university or something has confirmed that "Kaneh-Bosm" is indeed the Cannabis plant, and 9 pounds would be mixed in with other substances (like cinnamen, myrrth, and i believe olive), and rubbed on the skin for healing, driving away evil spirits, and forgiveness of sins. The amount of cannabis added in, was (i think) 250 Shekels. Depending on which type of Shekel(i think there were different sizing in shekels per location), this is about 9 pounds of cannibis. This annointing oil would be so incredibly psycoactive, it is said it could be absorbed in the skin to produce an incredible high. "Kaneh-Bosm" was also used in incense, i think even the incense in the The Sanctuary of the Lord contained kaneh-bosm.

Other things:

Mice injected with THC lived longer than mice that were not injected with THC.

We have cannabis receptors in the brain.(meaning we were CREATED with the choice to use cannabis...why else would God put cannabis receptors in our brain, i think Cannabis is the only drug there is that we already have receptors for)

Cannabis is a great medicine, safer than most legal drugs.

Cannabis is an herb....whens the last time God prohibitted the use of an herb?

If i remember correctly, cannabis resin has been found in incense holders in jewish temples.

Thats a great question, I respect all of you. To consider these things is honorable and appropriate. Nothing is w/o sin though. We will live a free'r life if we accept this truth. It is very much the truth, Otherwise the misunderstanding, relegates us to walk a tight rope of fear, and hypervigilance of stepping too Lt or too far Rt.

A very good example of this.....a powerful one can be observed of Paul explaining the same to a very small, very new group of Christians in Corinth.

"It is not what Goes into the mouth, but what comes out of the mouth that defiles a man!"
"It is all good when taken in thanksgiving"
"God saw that it was good or very Good"

The meaning of "meat"...and how it is to be used (eaten, smoked, oil) might come into Question, But according to God he Gave us everything to use and to give thanks for!...we are to enjoy our lives, and share everything with respect, and as good stewards of the creation, restore and keep things working in good working order!

Marijuana is to be used by the elders!
Or someone grounded in religious belief, because it opens doors in the mind that might weaken ones resistance to Satan...and what I call Evil (Breaking the commandments) or being disobeidant towards elders!

Is it doing God's will, or our own will?..(to tend and keep the garden)(or to smoke and become lazy in the garden) I think is more important!

Marijuana is a living entity that does something in the garden, that no other plant can do!
it is not replaceable!
It is required in that system!
And it is our job to sow these seeds around the world! (God's will)

the body is the temple of christ and that smoke puts tar on the lungs, but if thats true then being fats a sin too!
