Every thing God created has a proper purpose.
ILLUSTRATION:
A Teenage boy gets your daughter pregnant. -VS- A teenage boy with good character, good job and a little money in savings, marries your daughter. Your daughter calls you up and says "Daddy, I've got some great news for you, I'm pregnant.
God says sex is great, sex is fabulous, have sex all you want, with your wife,after you get married.
God created IT, IT is good, only when IT is used the way God intended IT to be used.
Ya - except we do not know if god considers using marijuana acceptable or not - that would be people's interpretations of what god would consider "proper".
We do know, if you believe in creation - god created us and many animals in a way that yields a reaction to marijuana. How synapses work, cannabinoids attach to synapses in our brains that are not effected by anything else that occurs in nature. Your body releases chemicals it produced locally that create the "high" you get when you ingest marijuana - not the cannabinoids themselves - they just trigger your body to do it. Nothing else in the natural world will trigger this same reaction - those synapses only specifically accept cannabinoids.
Many animals will ingest marijuana, and become effected by contained cannabinoids. Can animals commit sinful acts? The propagation of the plant god created depended upon animal ingestion...
Now, I understand many would say that you should "follow the laws of the land"... and I completely understand that, and why people (myself included) don't want to break the law. I just question - in a society where marijuana is legal, would ingesting it be immoral in itself? Is ingestion of marijuana sinful in some instances, but perfectly fine in others? Since the specifics are not laid out in the bible, we must use our own judgements - but it would be a stretch for anyone to say they know god's beliefs on the issue.
