I just want to find a correllation between drugs and alcohol. If you drink with a limit, someone say it is ok. How about drugs? if I dont abuse it, then will it be ok for me to consume?

The drinking of wine, beer or liquor in moderation is not against God’s law. In fact, the Bible shows that a little wine can be good for a person’s health. (Psalm 104:15; 1 Timothy 5:23) But it is against God’s law to get drunk, or to share in wild parties at which people carry on immoral conduct. (Ephesians 5:18; 1 Peter 4:3, 4) In addition to using alcoholic drinks to get drunk or “high,” many persons today use various drugs for this same purpose. Also, for pleasure they may smoke marijuana or tobacco, while others may chew betel nut or coca leaves. But these things make their bodies unclean and harm their health. So if you want to be a subject of God’s government, you must keep away from these harmful things. 2 Corinthians 7:1.
Does the Bible actually forbid the use of drugs for pleasure?
It does not name such substances as heroin, cocaine, LSD, PCP (angel dust), marijuana, and tobacco. But it does provide needed guidelines so that we can know what to do and what to avoid in order to please God. Similarly, the Bible does not say that it is wrong to use a gun to kill someone, but it does forbid murder.
Luke 10:25-27: “‘By doing what shall I inherit everlasting life?’ . . . ‘“You must love your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole strength and with your whole mind,” and, “your neighbor as yourself.”’” (Is a person really loving God with his whole soul and his whole mind if he makes a practice of things that needlessly shorten his life and cause his mind to be blurred? Is he showing love for his neighbor if he steals from others to support his drug habit?)

In ancient ages, natural drugs were used to open the doors of mystical or supernatural perception. Drugs were used only by priests and shamans following certain rituals and conditions to do it... At present, people use drugs to escape from their unhappy lives. Wise people do not need to have alcohol or drugs in blood even to smoke a cigarrette to socialize or feel "comfortable"... In other hand, most of drugs make people addicted after two or three times. Curiosity kills the cat!!

Turn to religion for spiritual guidance, turn to medicine for health questions. Don't make alcohol and drugs a moral issue.
And if you have to ask these questions, I would say you should abstain for now.
Different drugs have different effects, side effects and consequences. Everyone is different and you never know if you're going to get addicted until you do.

2 Corinthians 7:1 says both our bodies and our mind must be clean and holy. There are a few other scriptures that refer to the human body as a temple or a sacrifice to God and that it should remain holy and without defilement. Our body is not really our own; God made it and he asks that we keep it in good health and as clean as possible. Thus, you should do everything you can not to harm it in any way.

We are to be of one sound mind. Be vigilant and sober although I have smoked weed on many occasions and for whatever reason I get more spiritual. I call it more God concious. I don't care what anybody thinks about that, I'm speaking on my own personal experiences and so if I'm wrong I'll find out in a spiritual way.

Based on modern revelation given to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all forms of tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, and illegal or illicit drugs are taboo to its members. This does not include rubbing alcohol for topical treatments.
Section 89 of the Doctrine and Covenants outlines this commandment and will of the Lord to follow.
If there is no law, there is no sin. Mormons have the law to abide.

Depends if they are legal or not. If it is unlegal, you are going to get punished by the government, well, if you get caught. Regular drugs are o.k I guess. The bible says nothing about it, of course, I haven't been to church in a year!

I suggest you go and ask a doctor that question.
What is abuse is ten abuse so nine is OK, well maybe 5 is OK, then what about six.
Seriously ask a medical person about medical question and ask spiritual question of spiritual people.

You will know. That is the Holy Spirit. It is a voice in your head telling us right from wrong.
