I had the same dilemma about 6 months ago. The Bible does not mention anything about marijuana, but there are some guide lines that are laid out in the Bible that may help clear this up regardless if pot is mentioned specifically or not.
All things from God were blessed as being good in Genesis 1. However that is not to say that they can not be misused. Hemp is good for many uses such as clothes, rope, and any other cotton like material.
1 Corinthians 6:12 2 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.
The main question is does the Lord want you to have a sober mind? Look up Proverbs 20:1, 23:29-32; Romans 13:13; and Galatians 5:19-21. They are talking about drunkenness in general, meaning a non-sober mind.
Now you may want to ask yourself what is meant by the word witchcraft in the Bible. The Greek word is Pharmakia which means:
1) the use or the administering of drugs 2) poisoning 3) sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it
"PHARMAKIA –Use of medicine and drugs used not for medicinal purposes , used in spells and religious rituals and ceremonies or for ones own pleasure."
"There are numerous other drugs far more addictive then marijuana. yet it does have a medicinal use. but there are those who use it by smoking it for spiritual use and recreation and this is where it becomes pharmakia."
Witchcraft is looked at as an abomination to God. Look up Galatians 5:20; Revelations 9:21, 18:23; Exodus 7:11, 22, 8:7, 18; ans Isaiah 47:9.
In light of what the word Witchcraft meant (Phamakia), I put down the bong for good. Every now and again I have an urge but it passes about as quickly as it came into my mind.
Between God wanting us to have a sober mind and me realizing that it was an escape for me to forget my problems for a while, I decided to take my problems to the Lord instead. He changed my heart so now I do not have to fear my problems any more. That does not mean I don't have any problems, I just do not need to run from them. I can stand up and be accountable for my choices.
I hope you will make the right choice based on the Lord's Word.

There is no god! The reason pot is illegal is political, if they legalize weed whats next they will say. Weed is what started the movement against all drugs back in the 50s and the lies have continued to present. Hemp is not weed but they treat it like it is and I dont know why. And what does the size of your slong have to do with anything, are you high?

There's nothing in the bible about smoking pot either way, the only thing is says about drinking is not to overdo it. It's not "God's laws" you're questioning, it's the county, state and federal laws.
Adam & Eve figured out they were naked after eating the fruit of the forbidden tree, it's their fault we wear clothes, not to mention, it gets cold.
Go take another toke, you'll feel better.

Anything that keeps you from doing God's work is bad.
How can you tell someone about God when you are high. Your credibility is important. No one would want take a person under the influence of any substance seriously.
This why it is bad. Drinking alcohol to get drunk.

The Bible states that man must fallow mans law because god allowed it to become a law. Using the plant for medicine is fine. When used for pleasure it becomes a crime.

I once read a poem on a coffee shop wall
it said
Pot is a plant that grows in the ground
God put it there so it could be found.
Those who smoke it know it well
and those who don't can go to hell. (LOL!)

Uhm, there are places where nudists can legally live.
And pot hurts your mental and physical capacities. Just go to google and look up the effects of marijuana, or ''marijihuana'' in the words of South Park.
There are places for people like you, and its called the ''funny farm'' with ''friendly doctors'' and ''white coats''.

You obviously are a pot head. You certainly do ramble on.... But hey here is my question.... God also made poison ivy. You gonna smoke that too?
You shouldn't smoke pot or anything for that matter because it is unhealthy.
