Issue - Should Christians use marijuana?

 

This question has been asked by many, is it right as Christians to smoke or

take Marijuana.

In an open discussion, most backed the question with the bible verse from Genesis 1: 29, which says, “And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.”

One explained that Marijuana is a plant on earth and God has given us the permission to take it, but should be taken in moderation.

Isaiah 18: 4-5 says, "The Lord said unto me, 'I will take my rest and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs"

Another elaborated on its medicinal values and added that God is a healer and he provides us with spiritual, mental and physical healing. (James 5:14, 1 Peter 2:23, Psalm 103:2-4, 3 John 1:2)

Using wine as an example, the bible mentioned wine on several occasions but emphasized on taking it in moderation. Galatians 5:19-21, Proverbs 23:29-30
