As marijuana is a natural substance given to us by our creator, I would think it's fine. It's only made illegal by our laws.

There is nothing wrong with smoking marajuana, in moderation. In fact in moderation it is much better than smoking cigarettes and better than many other things. It is a preventative medicine.
But most Christians disagree with that.
Concentrated forms of drugs certainly should be illegal, but that is not the case with marajuana.
You can get an idea of my familiarity with the Bible from some of the other questions I have answered.

It may not be the best thing to do, but you won't go to hell for it. If you are reading the bible while smoking pot and you don't already know you are not going to hell, then maybe you are not retaining any knowledge of the bible and you should try reading it while sober.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Why would you go to hell for burning some herb? Did you know that cannabis is considered a sacred plant in the Rastafarian religion because it was planted outside the Temple of Solomon and used to induce meditation/prayer. I found this out when visiting Jamaica and visited with some Rastafarians to discuss their religion - it is a form of Zionism - and they graciously explained this to me and they also said that they take offense to people thinking that it's just an excuse to get high. So, you are actually using the plant for the correct purpose. Just think of this for a second - if God put all of the plants on the earth for us to partake of, why would cannabis be singled out as "sinful"? Up until about 75 years ago, this pant was totally legal and still is in a lot of places.

I think its a great idea.
The bible has some good stories and lots of interesting stuff to say.
While high you will probably have an increased ability for abstract thought which means you might get more out of it than you would if you were sober.

No you will not go to hell! No where in the Bible will you find the teachings of hell. Actually hell refers to the common grave. God is a loving God that doesn’t punish evil with evil. As to smoking pot the Bible say that we are not to do anything that would defile our bodies.
2Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God’s fear.
Hope this helped!

Sometimes it helps. Jesus was always telling John to stay away from the moldy rye bread that became the source of inspiration for the book of Relevations.
Stoned or not, the important thing is that you read the bible and don't just rely on what people say about it or just look up the verses that support what you want to believe.

I hope you go to HEAVEN. GOD bless you. But i'd lay off the reefer. Certian behaviors, as addictions can be considered gluttonous. And they can lead to self destructive behaviors. It is certain that drugs do not improve your ability to comprehend, so while i understand you are joking, or think you are, it doesn't make that much sense.
Now some pagans have thought of drugs as producing a SPIRITual experience. That's a false sort of idea. In fact the inverse is TRUE . .. and it can be shown that the devil decieves and ensnares people and breaks down people's will by using drugs.
-LOVE your nieghbor as yourself.
Amen.

Just keep reading your Bible, weather you have a "sack" or not.
blessings & peace
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. - Proverbs 15:17.
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: - Hebrews 6:7 kjv.

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." 1 Cor 3:16-17. Does not marijuana destroy your body? Many claim that they have the right to do whatever they would like with the body that God has provided, but what saith the Scripture? "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Cor 6:19-20. You are bought with the priceless blood of Christ, and have we right to do with our body as we please? We must not be foolish and bury our heads in the sand, as to the hazardous effects of marijuana, or any other drug.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Have you accepted him as your Lord and savior. If you have then I feel smoking the marijuana is not a pleasing thing to him and your heavenly rewards will come up short. If you haven't accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, then just reading the Bible won't get you into Heaven
