Whats wrong with smoking weed? My father who is the pastor of 1st Emmanuel says that weed is ok to smoke. But other Christians say its a sin. Why? My father told me that it was holy herb and if was alright that I smoke it. He smokes sticky dank and kush himself. Anybody in the church as an adult or with parent promission is allowed to smoke in the church loungue as well as use black and mile apple and blueberries cigars. What is the big deal about weed?

Do what you feel is right and suffer ignorance with a smile.

Sounds like you have a very intelligent pastor/dad, and a very progressive church. And he's right: marijuana was put here by God for the very purpose of smoking and eating.
And, to those who try to hide behind "it's illegal," at least 26 U.S. states have passed Compassionate Use laws allowing those with certain diseases to use marijuana. So, in many states, NO IT'S NOT ILLEGAL! Despite the tactics of the jackbooted Nazi thugs currently running the DEA.
And, since your father is a pastor, and is in a position of influence, he should use one of his sermons to speak out against the Federal government's Cruel and Unusual punishment of those with medical ailments who use marijuana with their state's approval. Either the state's rights MUST be respected by the Federal government all the way, or the Federal government needs to abolish all forms of statehood and take over. But they can't have it both ways. You father should rally his congregation with the idea that if you are going to smoke pot, then you must take political responsibility for it, and send a clear message to the Federal government that they are usurping the rights of states to pass laws that have been approved by a vote of The People.
According to at least 26 U.S. states, marijuana is NOT illegal for those with serious medical conditions!!!

There is nothing wrong with smoking weed occasionally.
Don't do it everyday because it will make you lazy.
Been doing it for 38 years now.

It makes you lazy. I bet that 8 out of 10 unemployed young men smoke weed. It's also against the law, supports the criminal elements in our society, and is not good for your lungs. Unless your father is a Judge on the Supreme Court, I would think his opinion means nothing.

Unfortunately because people don't understand weed as they do alcohol it is labeled and categorized in the hard drugs area, making it illegal.
There are many out there however, ( myself included ) who think differently.

Catholics say this falls under "Honor thy mother and father"
Under this commandment, we are called to follow the laws of the local authorities. Since most places in the USA have laws against Pot, well, you're breaking the parent commandment.
