Seems like this is a very debatable point. Any heavy weights out there want to add some comments?

Hey Leander, long time no see. Hope you are doing well. I saw your post and figured I would respond to it.
I ran a query on a search engine on your topic. You can view the resulting hits at this link.

Within I found some very interesting articles regarding Jesus and marijuana usage. There are even incorporated religions whose doctrine requires members to use marijuana. For more on the Religion of Jesus Church and the requirement of marijuana as a sacrament, the article is found here:

and perhaps the best link of all that I found... one which actually uses Scriptural quotes to support assertions, found here:

Sure, I'm a little fat in the ass so I'll give it a shot.
The dude who wrote Revelation was definately ****ed up on something!

I seem to remember Stephen getting stoned.
My, my, how cutting-edge and amusing

I do not think it is that debatable to be honest with you. The Christian principle of not being a drunkard or indeed mixing with drunkards says a lot within itself.
Ok - a drunkard refers to somebody high on alcohol, just use common sense. Would Jesus get stoned - no.

What does being a drunkard have to do with marijuana?

Wow there's a lot of interesting comments in this post. I've been kind of re-examining a lot of things since being out of the WTS and its kinda interesting to know the truth about marijuana after all the brainwashing that the media and goverment snows the public with.
Reborn - Whats going on bro? Are you in Florida now? Thanks for those links man, I'm still reading through some of them but so far its some good info out there.
Nosferatu - It would'nt surprise me if the writer of Revelations was shrooming while penning those chapters, I still don't know what to make of that book of the bible.
El Blanko - I think Cannibus is a lot like in alcohol in the sense that both can be abused but if used in a responsible manner it can be a very pleasant experience. As far as the ill effects of smoking it that can be avoided if a person chooses to ingest it instead.

When I read some of the books the prophets wrote about the visions they had then it makes me wonder if they
weren't hitting the magic mushroom. Cannabis doesn't create hallucinations like these prophets had.just wonderin'
