pot

[Absolem]

I'm a recovering drug addict/schitzophrenic. I love Jesus. I don't sleep around or look at porn but I do still smoke pot from time to time. I don't really see a problem with it but what do you think?

is it legal where your at? That would be my big thing-the Bible does say to obey the governing authorities. The other part of it, is if your a recovering drug addict, is consuming an addictive drug (regardless of any possible health benefits) really a good idea? anyway just my thoughts.

Why's it bad?

well, its bad if its against the law-because your going against the governing authorities. And, its an addictive drug-so if your recovering from drugs, it could be a temptation to get back into the harder stuff.

I don't know it's legal some places. I just read the bible. I can see a case to be made to be level headed though.

case or not, its irrelevent if its legal some places, what matters is whether its legal where your at. if its not, then that pretty much answers your question. I have nothing further to say to the matter.

First of all you are a recovering drug addict but you are still taking a drug. Marijuana has a negative impact on health. It is addictive. If it is not legal in your State you are breaking the law. Caffeine, nicotine and alcohol are also drugs that many, many people partake in. Of all those I think that coffee or caffeine is the most socially acceptable but it is still a drug.

This is not easy for me because I smoked some in my younger days, so I may not be qualified to answer this without bias, but here goes. 

Assuming you don't live in a state that has made this legal, you are then breaking the law and could get in trouble for that, right? I know God tells us to obey our civil authorities, so if you don't, you may suffer consequences ....not so much from God but from man.

So, assuming you are okay with smoking illegally, The Bible also tells us not to get drunk, but moderation is the key. So, if you decide to break the law, you should not smoke too much that would cause you to lose control (like being drunk) of your mind.  This too can lead to trouble. 

As for me, pot is not legal in my state, so I don't smoke it, but if it were legal,  I'd have no problem smoking a joint every so often, knowing the benefits that can result, especially if someone else bought it. (Hehe)  But, I would probably only want to do it in my home or a close friends home with just a few friends (not a party) and I would make sure there was a designated driver, just in case. 

I hope this helps a bit,

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

 

What does the Holy Spirit say to you my brother?

God bless
