you also have no power to decide either, just because you take one sort of drug and not the other, the fact remains it is still the same, you could live without taking aspirin. so forever this will be unresolved and one will answer to the Big Guy upstairs in due time. and i didnt refer to the Holy Spirity by getting intoxicated the right way. you just dont understand, and apparently neither do I. my main point is that i enjoy it the same way as a piece of fruit, as a piece of bread, i dont take it to higher levels, i dont make it bigger than what it is. just a pleasure, just like sex (id opt for weed in anycase), just like listening to music, just like sing a gospel song, just like running a km under 5 minutes, just like sharing my lunch with someone. how can you consider eating a fruit a sin? how is sing a gospel song a sin? how is running a km under 5 min a sin? sex is not a sin…
 
Because smoking marijuana is not actually the same as eating fruit, singing a song, sharing your lunch with someone, etc. etc.
 
smoking marijuana isnt the same as smoking apple tobacco or peach tobacco either. drinking grape juice and drinking wine isnt the same. getting high on pot or getting drunk of wine or vodka isnt the same. DUH. what is your point? how do you know you arent right and im not wrong? i really cant say, and i dont think you can either, but ones actions speak for onself, if you get drunk with your friends and keep it mellow without harming anyone, without getting horny, dance a bit, how does that become part of a sin? but i guess if you do get drunk, beat ur wife, rape ur child, does it really matter that THAT person was “intoxicated”, probably would have done it without the booze, maybe the booze induced it to him, but like i said before, you can manipulate anything to be either good or bad. if you say marijuana is evil, that is like saying we were all born evil, no, you make it evil.
 
This thread has gone too far off topic to continue and the question doesn’t seem to have a definitive answer. I suggest the OP post the question in the Ask An Apologist thread.

Thank you to all who participated.
