is this a slavery thread now???

jsn9333... you are not alone but you are in the vast majority! even though weed is much less harmful, that is not the angle other conservative christians will ping you on. they will ping you on "obedience" to the law of the land.. as you know the Bible is huge on obedience and authority.

you could always argue back at anyone who breaks any laws (like driving 1mph over the speed limit, etc) that they do the same... but the fact is that if you are a conservative bible believing christian, you have to justsify willingly participating in illegal behaviors (though they should not be illegal, the fact is that they are).

so if you can justify that aspect in your mind soundly, then more power to you! that is a tough one to get around though... if you figure it out, let me know!!! haha... the only way i could imagine working around it (from a biblical standpoint) is if it is a key part of your spirituality and you felt it was an "oppressive" and hindering law to your walk with Christ (that wouldn't include recreational use though).

anyway, i would love to talk more as it is an issue (though this is a slavery thread now) i have faced for a long time!
