Is smoking marijuana a sin

[Captain Hanks]

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.

seems to me were on the same page here, no its not a sin, in fact god calls the holy annointing oil (with cannabis as an ingredient) holy!

I'm am a christian, and I believe that smoking marijuana is in fact a sin.

(Sorry I don't know actual verses but...) The bible says not impare your judgement or something of the like, which marijuana can and will do to most if not all people to some extent.


Also it says to treat your body as a temple, as mentioned earlier, so don't voluntarily take tar into the lungs. (or eat to much, or starve yourself, or excersise too much etc.)

Masturbation is considered adultry, it says in the bible that you commit adultry everyday with just your eyes (porno, thoughts about porno, thoughts about that chick at school or the office being in a porno) ...crazy eh?

But I also believe that sinning will definatly not keep you from entering heaven, as that is the reason that Jesus died on the cross in the first place....our sins.

That being said, I smoke my share of mary jane, I spank my monkey and even have pre-marital (<---is that the right spelling?) sex with my love (gf) and do many other things that if I wouldn't than I would probrably grow closer to God...



So, to sum it all up....Using Cannabis is a sin, sin will not directly make you go to hell.

So what you're saying is it's pretty much a sin to be human. Oh well, maybe the human race can be returned for a manufacturer's rebate. Wait a minute, it's the manufacturer who's complaining?!
Football of course, is a sin because it defiles a man to touch the skin of a pig. Unruly children should be put to death, and it's okay to sell your daughter into slavery. (<bible stuff) I always liked the one where God told the Israelites to go into Jericho and slaughter every man, woman, child, cattle, sheep, and--get this one, 'bash the babies head against the rocks." --real pro-life stuff there.

But it's all good as long as you go confess it to a pedifile priest who has the power to forgive you.

Most of the madness on the News today is coming, either directly or indirectly, from some type of religious hang-up. The pious have control of the governments and the world has gone stark raving mad. It's time we came up with a better way.

I've always thought that if man created the concept of good and bad, and what is good and what is bad, then that's just a large group of other people's opinions. I just do what I'm comfortable with.

If you believe in god like i do and really sit down and think about it i think everyone who believes will come to believe that Cannabis was put on the earth for a reason. I really do believe that for medical use and or recreational... If anyone has never had a spirtual talk about god while smoking or just chillen with a homie... theres nothing better than smoking a blunt and talking about the after life.... He gave this plant to us for a reason... take it as you wish.:thumbsup:

Well in a sense it is. Please read on before you say "wtf" If you believe in the Bible it says "Obey the laws of the land" so in a way we're breaking the law. But in another sense you have to read my signature about what God said about plants such as marijuana..I truly believe he was talking about flowering plants in general, not just marijuana. Also smoking it might not be so good but theres nothing wrong with eating it at all (besides breaking the law lol).
