Hello,

I know alot of people of label themselves as Christians and smoke cannabis. What are your guys views on this and what do the scriptures advise.

Some consider it to be no different to a glass of wine and ok in moderation. Also I often hear the argument that it is natural.

My insticts and limited knowlege make me think that this should not be an activity participated in by true Christians but just wanted some advice on the subject.

Thank you, Zena
 
Doing drugs is not of Christ, if you do know anyone who is on it, pray for them. You already know its wrong. There's no discussion about about it.
Some argue and say its medicine , but I'm sure its not a pharmacist they are getting it from.
Make be a local street pharmacist.



I've never heard a christian say its ok, they express they battle with it or was delieved from it. If where you live the christian population seem ok with the usage, you should take this up with your pastor. So the church can provide help.
Most people who cant get out of sin, make excuses to remain in it.



Ephesians 4:17-32

The New Man

17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of[a] the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Do Not Grieve the Spirit

25 Therefore, putting away lying, “ Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. 26 “Be angry, and do not sin”:[c] do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

27 nor give place to the devil. 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you

Our Body is the temple of God, the Holy Spirit Dwells in us, we are not our own.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body[a] and in your spirit, which are God’s

I used to do this years ago. It is not "natural" at all. Just because a plant is natural, does not mean any way you use it is the right way and therefore "ok" in the eyes of GOD. Steel is natural, GOD is not pleased that we create guns and weapons of steel to kill others.

Canabis affects your thinking and nervous system negatively as well. No arguments against that truth. It kills brain cells as well. GOD does not approve such a hobby.

Cannabis (Marijuana) is mood altering and highly addictive. It has long been known as a "gateway drug" which means that drug dealers look to it to introduce people to drugs and then move them on to other more dangerous and more addictive substances. Please stay away from the stuff.
