Is it wrong to smoke marijuana? is it a sin?!


Question: Is it wrong to smoke marijuana? is it a sin?
Hello everybody. My question is this. I smoke marijuana occasionally like once every 6-8 months. I am a christian and my mother and father have always implied in me that smoking marijuana is bad, even though my dad was a stoner when I was a toddler. My mother is an alcoholic too. Anyways, Im 18, i have a 3.0 GPA and im on the verge on graduating. I always want to rip on a bong full of fruity, bomb kush, but i end up feeling guilty and decide not to. I have VERY bad insomnia, getting about 3-4 hours of sleep on a good night. I don't know what to do. Most of my friends smoke marijuana, and tell me that smoking wont make me a bad person. Anyways, I want to know if smoking weed is bad in my situation. Thank you all for answering.

Well, since doing drugs and alcohol are considered destroying your body and your body is considered gods temple if your a Christian. Then yes smoking pot is considered a sin. Even though, your body can probably recover from the 6-8 month intervals of not smoking, I guess it is still considered a sin if your a christian.



Definitely bad for your health smoking anything!, let alone a mind altering substance. Even though it can be a lot of fun and one can learn a lot about how self thinks from it.
If you are being tempted and are going to do it again, why not eat it raw , which would eliminate smoking it ? It will take longer to have an effect and will be less heady and more of a physical high. Definitely less harmful to your health. You will use a bit more though.



Smoking is always injuries to health and smoking marijuana at so young age can be seriously harmful for your health. So it is better not to smoke marijuana and good friends will never like to see you in bad health thus you should choose among your good and bad friend to avoid bad company.



I don't remember what it exactly is but there's a quote from the bible about how god pit all the plants here on earth fo man to utilize, I'm not religious myself so idk but smoke weed erryday. Also weed is good for you, mind body and soul.

Personal experience



Smoking wont make you a bad person, my bf has insomnia really bad too, he smokes and it helps him sleep great. and you are doing well in school and ur an adult as long as you dont let it get in the way of your life you will b perfectly ok :] Dont listen to these other ppl go have some fun :]



I feel that deep within yourself you have the answer.Do what you feel is right...dont you feel guilt?I honestly became a pot head for a couple days and had a panic attack and now I dont do it at all!Worst feeling you can ever imagine.I haven't felt normal since,and that was two months ago.

Marijuana smoker for a bit



there is several verses somewhere in my bible, i cant remember where. it calls your body a temple of the soul, and says doing anything to harm it is a sin. This was taught to me by my churches pastor, so he might just be playing on words

Many years of church



Sins are man made. Jesus was a wine drinker and all wine drinkers catch a buzz. But according to Christianity, he never sinned.



Man wait for that stuff. Your almost to graduate keep that gpa right there. Then after high school start no point in loosin it now



No. The Bible isn't a book one should turn to for moral guidance.



Well I wont say anything about your mom, but alcohol is much worse for your body and intoxicates you a hell of a lot more. Weed might cause some tar to build up in your lungs if you smoke too much but that's really about it. Just because you 'drink' alcohol as you normally drink water, opposed to 'smoking' marijuana when lots of people choose not to smoke altogether, people get the wrong impression.

No, it will not make you a bad person, thought it is against the law - so try not to get caught lol.



THEN GOD SAID,
I GIVE YOU EVERY SEED-BEARING
PLANT ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE
EARTH, AND EVERY TREE THAT
HAS FRUIT IN IT."
GENESIS 1:29-30

Those words seem straightforward enough, and yet cannabis and most other psychoactive medicine plants are outlawed in our society. Those who use these plant gateways to other states of consciousness are jailed for doing so.

Ironically, the major force for continuing this plant prohibition is a group referred to as the Christian Right. They claim to believe in both the Bible and old Yahweh, yet Yahweh's opinion on the matter is stated quite clearly in the above quotation.

This article shows how the Old Testament Prophets were none other than ancient shamans, and that cannabis and other entheogens played a very prominent role in ancient Hebrew culture.

i honestly cannot say if it is right or wrong, i think that is up to the person who is doing it. i used to smoke everday but now only smoke occasionly (anywhere from 3 times a week to twice a month). however, i do not believe this is a sin whatsoever. and please dont say in the bible it says you cannot drink or do drugs. first of all, jesus drank wine. second, if you can find a verse that says "smoking weed is a sin", i really would like to know where it is at. now sure long term smoking is not beneficial for you. but really especially in your case, i do not believe smoking every couple of months is a big deal. weed is a stress reliever and can relax you. and if its so dangerous why is medicinal marajuana handed out to cancer patients rather than meth, or crack. there are no cases of people over dosing from marajuana. and as far as your lungs go, weed is nowhere as bad as cigarettes.

but really it comes down to what you believe. no one should ever have any kind of control over what decision you make. it is your body and you need to do what you think makes you feel comfortable.

It is a bad thing. Maybe you could have a 4.0 GPA if you didn't smoke.

If most of your friends smoke, and also try to convince you to as well, then you need new friends.

Common sense



YES!
