An interesting tidbit. The consumption of marijuana is not aginst the teachings of the christian bible. It is, however aginst the teachings of the satanic bible (although its being labeled as a controlled substance is questioned). In fact the common methodology used to combat the drug (drug testing for employment) was actually suggested by satanism. What is your opinion about this?
Please refrain from the your body is a temple cliche as that statement is taken to extreme in its general usage.

I think it is time for Health class again. Your body and mind is a precious gift. The drug has 400 chemicals in it. However, when used it has double the amount. While it may cause short-term effects. The consequence is severe. One of the most vital organs is being effected: your lungs. So if you want to see if you can still live without your lungs. Be my guest. By the way. That is the reason why marijuana was band in the first place; not because of religion. Second, study more on your government. Separation of Church and State means something totally different than people think. What is meant is that the State or government cannot control the church nor can it establish a national church like England does. A person from a church can be a part of government does not mean the church controls the state. The definition of a church is a place where a group of people gather together to worship and have fellowship.

You are so wrong, John C.......
The Apostle Paul teaches against the consumption of mood altering chemicals in his Epistle to the Galatians.
Witches, Tribal Witch-doctors and Medicine Men, Shaman, etc have long been known to utilize and or promote the use of "natural" substances to lift them to an other-worldly awareness and perception.
That's why Paul connects drugs with witchcraft.
The Greek word Paul used which translated to the English "witchcraft" is :
"pharmakeia" {far-mak-i'-ah}
Outline of Biblical Usage:
1) the use or the administering of drugs
2) poisoning
3) sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it
4) metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry
The use of drugs will apparently open our minds to spirits other than the Holy Spirit.

Actually the consumption of marijuana is against the Christian Bible. It doesn't literally say the word "marijuana" because I don't think that word existed in King James' time.
The Bible says to avoid anything that cause you to become intoxicated. It also warns against addictive behavior.

yeah many things are on this planet they- just are not used the way God intended. No drugs to be smoked, sorry, plain and clear in the bible. Maybe pot is supposed to be used for something else. After all I am quit sure God never intended for hormones to be intjected into our milk or food supply.

I've heard people use Bible verses to both condone and condemn marijuana usage. My opinion is as long as you're not hurting anyone, go for it.

I've no objections to the use of marijuana for either medicinal or recreational (in moderation) purposes. Treat it like alcohol -- don't lose control, don't drive under the influence, etc.

The Bible speaks against the use of mary jane-you just do not know the Hebrew or Greek words. Any Bible student knows this.
