False.
Because of grace, you can be forgiven if you are truly repentant, no matter what you do. But that grace is not a license to sin. We cannot sin with the intention of just asking forgiveness later. That is willful rebellion against God.
Liberty in Christ is being set free from the bondage of sin - the slavery to sin - not being free to commit sin.

Well if you honestly look at Grace in Christian theology. Whether or not you sin is meaningless. Just believe in Jesus and you are saved, all humans are sinful and cannot be righteous. And as Martin Luther says:
"God does not work salvation for fictitious sinners. Be a sinner and sin vigorously.... Do not for a moment imagine that this life is the abiding place of justice; sin must be committed."

Christian liberty refers to the fact that we are free from the law and from sin. If we ask God to take away our desires for wrong things, then he will. I would hope that a Christian wouldn't be doing drugs. I realize you weren't being serious in your question.

James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
(remember that Jesus fulfilled some old law laws, so we don't have to do some of them (we can now eat pork)) But anyway Jesus is no licence for sin.

"All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." - 1 Cor. 6:12
Technically, yes, you *could*, but drugs have an addictive quality, and are quick to bring a person under their influence. A wiser decision, however, would be to avoid it altogether, so that you are not brought under their power.

False... under God's Law... abuse of any drug harms the body. That is a sin for sure.

No way. We have to obey the laws of the land and besides that, your body is a temple.

Abusing your body=abusing God's temple.
