Smoke weed

[Carl Emerson]

For the believer "be not drunk with wine which is dissipation, but be filled with the Holy Spirit..."

Dissipation is an interesting term, implying your communion with the Holy Spirit wanes as He is grieved.

With weed the same dissipation occurs only more so and almost immediately.

The Bible seems to indicate that it’s ok to drink within moderation. Is it also ok to smoke weed (aka cannabis or marijuana) within moderation, legally of course?

Sure, do it wisely.

Marijuana's effects on human cognitive functions, psychomotor functions, and personality - PubMed:


How much can I do it?

See How much does drinking become sin?.

Personally, I have no interest in smoking week. I have better ways to spend my money :)

For people who are susceptible to addiction, I would advise against it.

Does smoking weed bring in demons?

If you overdo it, it may. The same goes for getting drunk.

If you find weed helpful, do it wisely and thank God for it.

What about opium?

Opium is highly addictive. Users will develop dependency and lose self-control. It is not wise to have an opium habit.

As a recovering alcoholic and a former, recreational, user of Marijuana and other substances, it is my firm belief that using Marijuana and drugs is BAD for us with the EXCEPTION of legitimate medicinal benefits.

I generally agree with you but I know a very faithful follower of Jesus that suffered a stroke and was prescribed opiods for years and was unable to function. Then he experimented with medical marijuana and, long-story-short, he's off opiods and is able to function much better and he says it saved his life.

This is a different issue...

I have been in hospital with severe pain and was given morphine.

No issue there.

By the way does anyone know why I cant see a normal smile among the smilies???

You are a mouth piece for the devil, encouraging others to embrace intoxication which is sinful behavior.

Only followers of satan (the carnally minded) believe it's OK to smoke the devil's lettuce

I guess now you'll tell us it's OK to watch just a little porn, or shoot up just a little heroin, etc, etc.

his hosts, excused himself, and wandered off into the back yard to enjoy a relaxing puff or two from his pipe

Sinful behavior... whether it's smoking weed or tobacco.

Those led by the Holy Spirit are the sons of God and the Holy Ghost never once led any believer to injest toxic substances that cause intoxication that are proven to be very unhealthy

And then the demon possessed guy smoking claims the guy pointing out that it's sinful behavior accuses him of being the devil....

It's too bad more and more people claiming to be Christians are being deceived in to engaging is sinful behavior.

The joke is on them though because OSAS is false doctrine and some folks gonna learn that lesson the hard way... spending eternity being separated from the Lord where's it's very hot.

It must have been much nicer back then... these days it's mostly pot heads and baby killin liberal perverts running around.

In your personal communion and fellowship with the Father, when you pray; along with adoration, thanksgiving, and supplication, do you also have a time of confession?

Yes, I confess what the Lord says I am as a child of God...

What do you confess before the Lord?

[Dan Clarkston]

I wonder, had I been so unwise as to place my sins before you in this public forum, were you intending to pray for me? To offer me the right hand of fellowship? To mourn with me over these sins of mine?

As one that got saved... then tricked by demons as a baby Christian to return back to my sinful lifestyle (back in the 80s), I'd seek to teach what to do and how to overcome.

When Jesus spoke of the devil finding the house sweep clean (not occupied by the Lord and His Word) and coming back with demons far worse and the persons ending up 7 times worse than they were originally... I experienced that.

It took me years to get in to God's Word and learn how to be an overcomer... so I would seek to teach one how to do that.

If they did what most "religious" people do and claim they were born sinners and they just can't help but do sin and they are saved anyway as they live in sin.... then I'd tell them they are reprobate and of their father the devil. After they reject God's Word.
